Idle Deepcore is a pixel-art idle mining game about digging from the surface all the way down to the planet's molten core — and beyond, into orbit. Tap to break blocks and collect ore, then buy machines — jackhammers, steam drills, seismic hammers, excavators and more — to mine for you, even while you're away. The deeper you dig, the rarer the ore and the tougher the blocks. FEATURES • Tap-to-mine with crunchy pixel-art feedback • Automate with a roster of upgradeable mining machines • Smelt raw ore into valuable ingots in your furnaces • Descend through distinct biomes to ever-deeper layers • Prestige to reset for permanent power and unlock new systems • Skill tree, mastery nodes and a research lab to specialize each run • Build a rocket and mine asteroids out in orbit • Offline progress — your machines keep mining while the app is closed • Cloud save via Game Center — back up and restore your progress • Playable in 29 languages Optional rewarded ads can double your offline haul — never required to progress. Dig deeper. Get richer. Idle Deepcore.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NodeMint at 100% against Idle Deepcore's 50%. NodeMint also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Idle Deepcore's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (80 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NodeMint sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Deepcore sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Idle Deepcore holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Deepcore has 80 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of NodeMint's written reviews are positive against 50% of Idle Deepcore's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NodeMint ships an update every 2 days, Idle Deepcore every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
