## What is DigMine?

Greetings miner,

I see you are new to this underground world. Let me introduce you to some basics:

In DigMine the main goal is to take your pickaxe & other tools and start mining, collecting ores and treasures and exploring the endless underground world.

After finding enough valuables, they get sold for cash, with which you can buy new tools and upgrade your pickaxe for faster and more efficient mining.
The chances of finding gold are high, but finding the truly valuable treasures will take its time. The work will pay off in the long run, however, as prestige points are added up to the balance after collecting ores, pickaxe skins get unlocked and you can see rock colors change depending on the current depth. You might find really expensive stuff on your journey, such as special emeralds, diamonds, rubies, and even crates.

You might ask what those crates contain... The truth is, no one knows until you open them; It is up to you to find out. But beware: Sometimes crates disappoint, on other times they surprise. They really are mysterious.

As for the prestige points, they are seen as their own currency down here. Apart from the money you make by selling your ores to the market, every time you do, you gain prestige points, which level up your prestige level. Get high enough levels, and you are able to buy new exciting pickaxe skins and other goodies.

Digmine is for everyone. No matter where you are, who you are or how you are, you can always let off stress and get distracted from everyday life by visiting this mysterious underground world, full of surprises, and dig / mine away your worries. Make sure you don't forget to sit down, relax and take in the silent sound of the ancient rocks around you while you mine away your worries.

In the end, it is all about having fun in the game. We tried to keep the advertisements offered in the game to a minimum and also to offer as many interesting tools and unlockables as possible.

We wish you good luck; Many treasures await you.

### 2/5 — Outstanding game but… PLEASE READ!

*2023-02-09, version 4.2.2*

It would be best not to start from the beginning when restarting the app. Hopefully a fix comes in where you left off. But orherwise, amazing game. Edit. Rating dropped to two stars. Came to a point where game ended at 864.1m. Nothing more to do after that as all gems are collected. No way to progress further unless you reset, making you lose progress Please implement a reset map option to start over once the end has been reached.

### 1/5 — Pickaxe is on drugs

*2022-04-27, version 4.2.2*
