How it feels

A meditative loop of mining, selling, and upgrading where you keep digging deeper without stopping.

What players say

Players praise it as a cheap, chill incremental game, but note the short 3-4 hour run and early access rough edges. A student project with rapid updates, it works well as a background idle game.
