About the game
Deep Miner is an idle digging game about sinking a shaft four hundred metres down to the glowing Core. Tap the rock to break it, and a little cart hauls the ore up to the surface for cash. Spend that cash on a stronger drill, on workers who keep digging when you stop, and on a bigger cart that carries more per trip. The ground changes as you go, from dirt and clay through coal, iron, silver and gold to ruby, crystal and magma, and each layer pays more.
The gamble is gas. You can see green bubbles in the rock ahead, and breaking into one freezes the dig for seven seconds. Pay to vent it safely, or risk a spark: half the time you find a gem stash, half the time it explodes, costs a quarter of your cash and caves in three metres.
