Read full description

■ A 2-minute, one-thumb auto-battle survivor MICRO RUN is a micro survivor-action game built around ~2-minute runs. Move your character with a single thumb — every attack fires automatically. Each level-up lets you pick weapons and passives, then mow down the swelling horde in a storm of bullets. It's the "bullet heaven" rush, shrunk to pocket size. A red light, a train ride, one quick run before bed — your spare minutes become power-fantasy minutes. ■ Features • One-thumb play: move only; aiming and firing are fully automatic. • Build-crafting: 14 weapons plus passives — homing, orbit blades, chain lightning, black holes and more. • 5 worlds: NEON CITY, TOXIC JUNGLE, VOID TEMPLE, EMBER WASTES, DEEP ABYSS. • 13 enemy types and stage bosses: chargers, splitters, fleeing treasure mobs. • 4 ships with distinct starting weapons and stats. • 5 difficulties, from EASY to ULTRA. • 19 titles (achievements) that grant passive buffs when equipped. • Fast-forward up to x10. • Bestiary collection. Plays fully offline. Start your 2-minute rampage.

Build a crew of mining heroes and dig deeper in Deepbound, an idle mining game about upgrades, automation and lasting progress. Break stone, earn gold from every block and decide how to strengthen your crew. Clear the current row to reach the next layer, then push toward a new depth record. BUILD YOUR MINING CREW Collect heroes with different strengths and choose who joins your active team. Combine their abilities, improve their mining power and try a different lineup when your progress slows. MAKE EVERY BLOCK COUNT Gold arrives as each block breaks. Spend it on hero levels, equipment and upgrades for your current run. Balance immediate damage with the improvements that help your crew reach tougher layers. PUT YOUR CREW TO WORK Your miners handle the digging while you choose what to improve. Unlock automation and shape your crew around the way you want to progress. PRESTIGE FOR LASTING PROGRESS Start a new run to earn fossils for permanent research. Keep your unlocked heroes and permanent progression while rebuilding your gold-funded levels and equipment. Use what you gained to push beyond your previous best. CHOOSE YOUR NEXT UPGRADE A stronger miner, a different team or another research upgrade can change your next run. Explore the balance between current-run power and long-term growth as you work toward deeper layers. For players who enjoy incremental games, hero collecting and building a stronger crew one upgrade at a time. Your next depth record starts with the next block.
