Your first few minutes
Step
You start the game with one pickaxe already in hand. Tap or click to mine ores, and the game converts those ores into money automatically — you can watch the total climb on screen. Once you have enough saved up, head to the shop and buy the next grade of pickaxe.
- Mine ores tap or click repeatedly with your starting pickaxe to begin earning
- Watch your balance the game adds ore value to your total automatically
- Open the shop visit it as soon as your balance reaches the price of the next pickaxe
- Buy the upgrade grab the next grade once you have enough money
- Repeat the cycle mine, earn, upgrade, and keep pushing up the pickaxe ladder
The merge system
Step
When you own more than one pickaxe of the same grade, you can combine them into a single, more powerful tool. The two originals disappear and a new, higher-grade pickaxe takes their place. Open the merge menu from the shop or the main menu, select your matching pickaxes, and confirm the fusion.
- Collect duplicates gather enough copies of the same pickaxe grade to trigger a merge
- Open the merge menu find the merge option inside the shop or main menu
- Select your pair choose the matching pickaxes you want to combine
- Confirm the merge the two originals are consumed and one stronger pickaxe is created
Building your mining tower
Check
Building a giant mining tower is one of the two main goals, alongside collecting all the pickaxes. Tower construction is funded by the same money you earn from mining.
- Tower funds come from mining income, the same source as pickaxe upgrades
- Collecting every pickaxe and finishing the tower are the two completion goals
Playing without spending real money
Summary
The entire progression — buying pickaxes, merging them, and building the tower — runs on money you earn in-game by mining. You can spend real money to add cash faster, but nothing in the game is locked behind a paywall.
- Core loop mine ores, earn cash, buy and merge pickaxes, build the tower
- Paid options available, but not required to reach any part of the game
- Completion targets all pickaxes collected and the full tower built
