Planet Cracker

Drill down. Sell what you find. Build an Ark for humanity. Planet Cracker is a mining game where every dive takes you further into the planet, and everything you dig goes up to a city in orbit. You start with a rusty bit that struggles on plain rock, and end with a rig that tears through nine worlds and a starship ready to leave for another star. DRILL DEEPER Cut through distinct rock layers, each with its own ores, hazards and look. Chase glowing veins, crack open crates and fill your hold before the winch hauls you home. BUILD THE ARK Every ore you sell ships supplies to the Ark. Build hab pods and solar wings, then a fusion reactor, greenhouses, parks, a museum and two great spinning rings. Watch tens of thousands of people move in, every room cut open and lived in. RECRUIT YOUR CREW Eight specialists come aboard as the Ark grows. Take them along on your rig: a geologist who reads your sonar, a pilot who flies you twice as fast, a medic who keeps the drill cool, and more. UPGRADE VISIBLY Every drill bit, hose and tool changes how your rig looks and how fast it digs. Wide bores, tunnel boring and the planet cracker turn rock that took seconds per block into a slab that falls in one blow. DISCOVER Unearth relics in every layer and put them on show in the Ark's museum. Find a lost expedition's drill. Hunt down rocket parts buried deep in the rock. CRACK THE CORE At the bottom of every world a living core is waiting in its vault. Drain it to fuel your rocket, and set its Ember burning in the Ark's Heart Spine. REACH THE NEXT PLANET Build the rocket and fly on: the Moon, Mars, Europa, Io, a world made of diamond, a world of iron, a lava world, and finally the crust of a neutron star. Each one plays by its own rules. IGNITE THE STAR DRIVE Light all nine Hearts, finish the Star Drive and give the word. The Ark leaves for another star. EARN WHILE AWAY Your Miner Bots keep working while the game is closed, and the Ark keeps building. Come back to a welcome-back haul. Free to play with optional in-app purchases. Reward videos are always your choice: watch one for a boost, or don't.
