Bitmerge — merge data, compound income. Drag matching tiles together and watch them fuse up an exponential chain: bit, nibble, byte, and onward toward the AI core. Every tile on the board earns for you, every second — higher tiers earn far more than the pieces they're made of, so merging always pays. MERGE UP THE CHAIN Two identical tiles become one of the next tier. Simple to do, hard to put down — each merge frees board space and multiplies your income. EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your board keeps generating while the app is closed. Come back to banked progress, reinvest, and push the chain higher. RECOMPILE INTO QUBITS When spawn costs wall you out, recompile: collapse your run into qubits, a permanent income multiplier that makes every next run faster. The reset is always free and always your choice. BUILD THE MOTHERBOARD Deeper still: escalate for kernels, then reboot into the motherboard underneath your board. Slot the AI cores you have built into real hardware — CPU, RAM, PCI-e, drive bays, BIOS — and each core permanently rewrites one of the economy's own constants. A reboot wipes everything else; the motherboard is what you keep. AUTOMATE THE GRIND Earn daemons that spawn, merge, defrag — even recompile — for you, and keep working while you're away. Set their levers and leashes; the machine plays itself exactly as hard as you let it. NEVER STUCK A full board is never game over: a fresh spawn merges straight onto its match, more board space is earned in-game, and the recompile is always free. You can always recover without paying — that's a design rule, not a promise. NEON BY DESIGN Strict minimalism: clean lines, high contrast, and a living circuit-board background that ripples like water as you drag. Tiles are chips that grow with their tier — more pins, denser dies, extra electrons in orbit — until the top of the chain runs white-hot and the AI core turns prismatic. CLIMB THE BENCHMARK Game Center leaderboards rank your live balance as a benchmark index — spend and you drop, bank and you climb. A free-only division ranks players who never bought power.

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.
