I made this game for the quiet minutes. A tiny miner walks, digs, and hauls ore while you watch, and he keeps working after you close the app. You start on the Pebble Path with a stone pick and a small bag. Sell what he digs, buy him better gear, and open the way down. There are eighteen zones, and the last few take real patience to reach. Along the way you'll spot gems on the path, chase mining goals for every ore, and maybe, eventually, run out of mine. I'm digging more. Things I care about, so they're built in: • He mines while you're away, with a cap, so it stays a game and not a chore. • No ads. Ever. • No account, no sign-up, nothing collected. Your save lives on your phone. • Everything in the game can be earned by playing. The few purchases are shortcuts and tips, not walls. This is my first game. I built it alone: the pixel art, the cave sounds, the ore prices I argued with myself about for weeks. If something feels broken or unfair, tell me through the support page and I'll fix it. Thanks for giving the tiny miner a look.
