Every storm is money if you brought enough jars. Stormbottle is an idle game with a living sky. The weather overhead — clear dusk, overcast, full storm — changes in real time and changes your harvest with it. Fill the storm meter, tap the cloud, and ride a x5 surge while lightning walks the horizon. • A real weather cycle: production climbs as the sky darkens • Charge the storm meter and release surges when it counts • Ten harvesters, lightning rod to Eyewall • Six pieces of leveled gear, five levels each • Chunky x3 milestones at 20, 75 and 150 of every harvester • Chase new Seasons: prestige into permanent superbolts (+10% each, longer surges) • Eight Season zones, each with its own sky, fields and jar to bottle into • The Bottling Journey: fourteen named milestones from First Jar to Sky Emeritus • A Daily Forecast: claim a streak-friendly gift each day — a missed day pauses the streak, never resets it • The Skyworks Ledger: a second, permanent prestige board — spend Storm Sigils on works that never reset • The Charter Board: sign a patron's bottling contract for zaps now and reputation forever — four patrons, permanent perks • Named Tempests: rare, boosted super-storms with names of their own and a live window — ride one hard to bottle a Vintage • The Vintage Rack: a 96-bottle collection graded by how hard you rode each tempest, paying permanent Vintner's Renown • The Label Press: eighteen jar labels struck for real mastery feats — wear your best on the bottle • Field Records: cranks turned, storms weathered, tempests caught, fastest season — your story in numbers • An original quiet theme, synthesized on your device — with soft thunder underfoot • Jars keep bottling for an hour while you're away — bigger jars in the Depot hold 8 or 24 hours, yours forever with a one-time purchase • Entirely on-device — no account, no internet, nothing collected The sky is about to turn. Get the bottles out.

About

Deep Dig

Read full description

Deep Dig is an idle mining game built around one addictive question: will THIS tap be the big one? TAP TO DIG Smash through rock with every tap. Land a critical hit and a lamp lights up — one more tap, and you break into a high-odds chain zone where crits can keep coming, tap after tap after tap. UPGRADE YOUR RIG Pour coins into Drill Power and Auto-Driller to dig faster, even while you are away. CORE UPGRADES + NEW GAME+ Reach the planet's core and earn permanent Cores, then start a fresh run with your upgrades carried over. Stack enough Cores across runs and your rig only gets stronger. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully translated into English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. This release covers Stage 1 — dig from the surface all the way down to 500m. Deeper stages, new ore, and more content are already in the works. Free to play, no purchase required. Optional video ads offer bonuses like stamina refills and coin boosts, entirely up to you. Start tapping. See how deep you can go.
