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.

Space Tap Miner: Idle Frontier An idle clicker set in deep space. Start in low Earth orbit and climb all the way to the galactic core, mining Celestite across 30 sectors. When a timeline runs dry, leap to the next one — your fleet comes with you, and you rise again, faster than before. ------------------------------ [ FEATURES ] 30 sectors, one long climb Earth Orbit · Inner Planets & Asteroid Belt · Outer Planets · Outer Solar System · Interstellar Space · Deep Galaxy. Each sector runs its own production cycle, from 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and pays out in bulk every time one completes. Leap — the heart of the loop When there is nothing left worth mining, leap to the next timeline. Facilities, research and Celestite stay behind; ships, artifacts and leap coins come with you. Every leap earns coins that upgrade your ship modules, so the next life climbs faster than the last. 10 ships, 70 modules From MV-01 "PROSPECT", a mining frigate, to MV-10 "ODYSSEY", a generation ark. Modules upgrade without a cap (Mk system) and grant permanent effects — global output, tap power, starting facilities and more. Completing a ship unlocks a large bonus. 27 artifacts, 7 sets Dig them up by tapping or by opening crates. Drawn from Greek, Norse, Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Arabian myth, each artifact reveals a little more of this world's mystery. Complete a set — Traces of Mortals, Remnants of the Labyrinth, Tools of the Gods and four more — to activate powerful bonuses. 265 research projects Facility upgrades, tap power, global multipliers, offline cap extensions. 265 projects decide the build you run in this timeline. Idle or tap, your way Leave it running and production continues on its own, or tap to accelerate a cycle. Offline earnings accrue for up to 8 hours. Achievements and online rankings Eight tiered achievement tracks covering mining, automation, research, leaps, artifact collecting and fleet completion. Compete on the online leaderboard, and link a Google account to carry one save across devices. Available in 9 languages English · Korean · Japanese · Chinese · Spanish · Portuguese · German · French · Russian ------------------------------ [ FREE TO PLAY, START TO FINISH ] Every piece of content is reachable without spending anything. Watching an ad is a convenience, never a requirement to win. ------------------------------ [ THE STORY ] Humanity learned to cross the walls of spacetime. But the matter held by any single timeline is finite, and there is a ceiling to how high anyone can climb inside one world. So we chose to recycle timelines instead. When everything worth mining has been mined, we leap to the next branch. ------------------------------ [ CONTACT ] Bug reports and suggestions: devyanggames@gmail.com Privacy Policy: https://devyang-games.devyanggames.workers.dev/space-tap-miner/privacy-en ------------------------------ Space Tap Miner: Idle Frontier — a miner's journey across timelines.
