## What is Deep Shaft?

Sink the shaft. Strike it rich.

Deep Shaft is a satisfying idle mining tycoon. Work the rock face by hand, then hire Foremen to automate every level while you dig deeper and deeper — from the dirt at 100m all the way down to the mythril at the Core.

DIG, AUTOMATE, GET RICH
- Tap to mine by hand, or buy a Foreman to run each level automatically
- The elevator rides the shaft, collecting full ore carts and hauling them up to the Refinery to cash in
- Level up each seam for faster mining, richer ore, and bigger loads

GO DEEPER
- Breach sealed bulkheads to open the next 100m: dirt, stone, iron, silver, gold, gems, diamond, mythril
- Every layer has a rising chance of rare ore worth a fortune

UPGRADE THE OPERATION
- The Foundry: spend prestige Cores on permanent upgrades that boost every run
- Boost the Hoist to carry more and the Refinery to sell for more
- Crack open crates for permanent gear, and keep earning with offline income

CLEAN, HANDCRAFTED PIXELS
- Cohesive 16-bit pixel art, from the headframe to the deepest void rock
- Plays fully offline — no account, no sign-up

How deep can you dig?
