## What is Ore & Earn?

You start with nothing but a pickaxe.
Time your swings, keep your combo, slice glowing veins — that's active income: when you stop, it stops.
Then invest what you earn in miners, elevators, carts, refineries and managers, and let the mine run itself — that's passive income.
The orange/teal bar at the top always shows where your money comes from. Your goal: grow the teal.

HANDS-ON DIGGING
• Timing ring: tap as it closes for a Perfect ×2
• Combos, crits and glowing veins (slice one for ×12)
• Cave-in warnings — hold still or swipe up to brace; shut the valve when gas leaks
• 8 pickaxe skills that level up as you dig
• Sparks, debris and haptics make every swing feel good

A MINE WITH REAL DEPTH
• 5 layers, 10 shafts, 10 ores — the deeper, the richer
• Logistics bottlenecks: shaft → elevator → cart; the slowest link sets your output
• Refinery with 9 recipes and multi-step chains (copper ingot → bronze gear, ruby crown…)
• Managers with 7 traits × 3 rarities — put them in the right post
• A market where prices drift and news can spike or crash them; auto-sell is easy, selling by hand at the top pays more
• Timed contracts and a mining fund (simple vs. compound interest)
• 17 research upgrades, offline earnings, Legacy (prestige) with 8 permanent perks
• 22 achievements and optional Game Center leaderboards

LEARN MONEY IDEAS AS YOU PLAY
• A 14-step quest path from "trading time for money" to "money working for you"
• 18 bite-size lesson cards on reinvesting, bottlenecks, compounding and assets vs. income
• An Income Analysis screen that charts active vs. passive income over time

PLAY WITH PEACE OF MIND
• Fully offline. No account, no ads, no data collection
• Everything is playable for free. Paid items are cosmetics, convenience, and one permanent ×2 earnings boost
• Traditional Chinese and English, dark UI, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support
