About the game

Become a stylish Mole armed with a three-claw grappling hook and dig your way to fortune! Snatch valuable ores, earn gold, unlock powerful upgrades, expand your mining automation, and build the ultimate underground mining empire in this satisfying incremental adventure.

Original Steam description

DIG. SELL. UPGRADE. REPEAT.

You're a fearless mole with a grappling hook, a tiny backpack and big dreams. Fire your hook underground, drag valuable ores to the surface, sell the loot and upgrade until one lonely hook becomes a screen-filling, ore-shredding mining machine.

Start with 4 backpack slots. End with a mine that won't stop exploding.

MINE FASTER. THEN MINE EVERYTHING.

Swing, fire, pierce! Your hook cuts through ore until it runs out of strength, then hauls the whole catch home. Chain hits for combos, land Lucky Hauls for triple pay, and watch your backpack fill before the clock runs out.

Ores aren't all equal, either. Dig up 12 kinds of special ore that change the whole run:

  • Bomb ore blasts its neighbours into your haul

  • Magnet ore pulls a whole cluster toward one hook

  • Gambler ore pays x4... or nothing

  • Rainbow, Splitter, Frost, Booster and more

  • Mimic ore is a thief in disguise. Grab it for a bounty, ignore it and it robs you

Sneaky thieves also sprint across the board stealing your ore. Catch them for a fat bounty and a golden payday.

THE HOOK SHOP

Why settle for one hook? Buy, swap and show off 9 different hooks, from the humble Rusty Hook to the terrifying Void Reaper. Twin Fang throws extra hooks, Chain Claw triggers hook steps, Plasma Hook hits like a freight train. Beat bosses to unlock deeper maps and even stronger hooks.

A SKILL TREE THAT KEEPS GROWING

Every run earns cash, and cash goes straight into a huge skill tree of 200+ upgrade nodes. More hooks, bigger bags, longer runs, stranger ores and brutal combos. Pick a build and push it to the extreme:

  • Bounce your hook off the walls with Ricochet

  • Fire a spread of hooks with Fan Shot

  • Hold to charge an Overcharge shot

  • Go Explosive, Boomerang or Harvest and scoop up the whole board

  • Hire a Crew that fires hooks on its own while you focus on the big plays

Hidden Artifacts drop after you clear a board, giving you even more ways to break the economy. Gently.

THEN THE GROUND FIGHTS BACK

At the bottom of every map waits a boss, and none of them play fair:

  • Giant Scorpion: hit the stinger for triple damage, shoot down its venom needles, and watch out when it enrages

  • Elder Centipede: pop its armour bombs before you can touch the body, and dodge sweeps that cut your hook

  • Colossal Earthworm: it burrows, erupts, spits acid and spawns babies. Crack the pearl for big damage

Beat the clock, grab the time pickups and take down the boss to unlock the next map, earn a huge payout and a permanent trophy.
