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. I only collect what I need to make the game fun and engaging. Data is anonymous and never sold. 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.

Tired of boring button games where you only watch numbers go up? Fed up with incremental games that promise progress... but barely show you anything? In The MachinEGG, your farm does not just improve: it transforms. You start with one chicken, a few eggs and a simple idea: produce, sell and upgrade. But soon that little farm becomes an increasingly efficient system, full of chickens, machines, automation and decisions that probably were not supervised enough. Buy chickens. Produce eggs. Sell more. Upgrade the farm. Automate the work. Then buy another chicken, because you almost always need another chicken. The MachinEGG is an incremental idle clicker game that combines egg production, farm simulation, casual progress, light tycoon gameplay and visual automation. Here, upgrades are not just numbers on a screen. When you unlock conveyor belts, autofill, quality stamps or new machines, the farm changes. Every upgrade is visible. Every system comes to life. Every egg becomes part of an increasingly absurd poultry machine. In The MachinEGG you will find: - Clear and satisfying idle clicker progress. - Chickens, eggs and constant upgrades. - Automation to reduce manual work. - Visible machines that transform the farm. - Simple pixel art style. - Casual sessions to progress at your own pace. - Several game modes to replay with new strategies. It is not just a button game. It is not just a farm. It is a small egg-producing machine that, for some reason, you have decided to optimize to the end. The MachinEGG. More eggs. More machines. More chickens.
