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.

TerraClaim: Idle Conquest turns the real world map into a board. The globe is divided into millions of hexagonal tiles — real coastlines, real rivers, real mountains. Pick a starting tile, queue your next claim, and watch your territory spread across continents. Progress continues while the app is closed. CLAIM THE REAL WORLD Every tile is a real place. Terrain matters: flat land falls quickly, mountains and deserts take longer. Rivers cut the cost of expansion. IDLE BY DESIGN Queue your claims and close the app. When you return, everything that could finish has finished. No timers to babysit, no energy to refill. THE WORLD PUSHES BACK Entropy grows with your empire — the wider you spread, the longer each new tile takes. Growth has a shape, and it is yours to plan. CROSS THE SEA Coastal tiles let you jump the water, and your reach grows with your era: 25 km in the ancient world, thousands by the modern age. Islands, archipelagos and whole continents open up as you advance. LANDMARKS Over six thousand real landmarks are scattered across the globe — the Pyramids, Machu Picchu, Lake Baikal, the Sahara, the South Pole. Take the tile, take the landmark. ONE SHARED WORLD Everyone plays on the same planet, in real time. Rival territories press against your borders. Chat with other players, watch the leaderboard, and see who holds the most ground. PLAY IN ANY LANGUAGE Nine languages supported, switchable at any time. One planet, one queue, and however long you want to take. CARDS OF MYTH Fifteen figures from Greek, Egyptian and Norse myth. Equip up to five and they speed up claiming, conquest and defence. Duplicates raise a card's grade, and matching three or five from one pantheon adds a set bonus. Cards come from draws (a random-item feature). Every rate is disclosed in-game under [Draw -> Rates] and on the web: https://terraclaim.devyanggames.workers.dev/odds
