Dive into the simulation of mining in Mining Miner from Skollheim. Upgrade your tools, hire automated miners, and keep digging deep into the earth for valuable ores as you progress through early access releases.
About this game
You have a pickaxe. There are about 3,000 meters of rock under your feet. You can see where this is going.
The hole
Mining Miner is an incremental game about digging a very deep hole and refusing to stop. Every block sells. Every coin goes back into the digging. Eighteen layers of rock sit between you and the bottom, each one harder than the last. HOW FAR WILL YOU GO ???? (there is a bottom but I'm obviously keeping your attention)
Stop digging alone
At some point one pickaxe is not enough. Hire auto-miners that dig while you dig, and an elevator that hauls the ore up and sells it by itself. You never have to leave the hole again.
The skill tree
Five branches: Mining, Auto-Miner, Elevator, X-Ray and Cartography. X-Ray shows ore through solid rock, which saves time, which means more digging. Cartography reveals caves before you fall into them. When progress slows down, Prestige resets the hole. You keep the bonuses and you dig it again, faster.

WHERE IS MINING MINER ????
Hello, You are billions probably wondering why Mining Miner did not release today, we don't know as well. Kind regards, Skollheim & MTSU ___________________________ Okay what really happened is that Steam asked at the last minute some changes to the early access info appearing in the store page (literally today) because our game of ping pong e-mail with Steam support turned out to last until the Mining Miner's release date. We are very sorry that this happened. We know that this is the most awaited game of the decade, and for the records we will blame Valve entirely for this and not our immaculate incompetence at managing a video game's release. As soon as Steam gives us the green light, we will release Mining Miner to the store. It's only a matter of days. Oopsie, Skollheim & MTSU PS: 20% discount for the releaseRead full article on Community Announcements (klNuno)
