Drop the claw. Grab the gold. Beat the clock. Pixel Digger: Gold Rush is a hand-crafted arcade digger drawn entirely in pixel art, with 50 designed missions and a relic collection to hunt across all of them. No account, no internet needed. HOW IT PLAYS Your claw swings back and forth. Tap to drop it, and it grabs whatever it touches: gold nuggets, diamonds, treasure bags, or a rock that drags you down. Reach the mission target before the timer runs out. Buy dynamite, strength potions, extra time and other power-ups with the gold you earn to push through the harder missions. 50 HAND-DESIGNED MISSIONS Every layout is placed by hand, not generated. Later missions add moving targets, tight timers and rock-packed layouts. COLLECT THE RELICS Pulling up stones can uncover relic fragments. Fifteen fragments form three sets, and completing a set grants a permanent upgrade: a faster winch, a longer timer, or a slower swing for easier aiming. MORE TO DO - Lucky Wheel with free daily spins, plus bonus spins from optional ads - In-game shop for consumables earned through play - Game Center leaderboard (optional) - Plays fully offline MADE FOR THE RETRO FEEL - 2D pixel art on a custom 48-colour palette - Original chiptune soundtrack and sound effects - Landscape on iPhone and iPad - Simple one-tap controls, easy to pick up at any age
