A chill, colorful 2D platformer where you casually dig and explore procedurally generated asteroids, evade alien snails, and upgrade your gear at a relaxed pace.

What players say
Players describe a short, grindy mining game with cute visuals and solid controls. It is compared to SteamWorld Dig and Miner Dig Deep. Some find the death penalty too punishing, losing both materials and equipment.
