Miner: Drilling

About this game

Drill deep. Risk everything. Escape with the loot. A fast-paced 3D mining arcade game built around short, intense runs. Every descent takes you into a new mine, where your choices in the moment decide how far you go — and how much you bring back.

How to play

1. 1Use arrow keys, WASD, or the virtual joystick to move. On mobile, tap or drag on the screen. Drilling starts automatically when you push into a block.
2. 2Drill ore, earn money, and buy upgrades for your miner and mines. Glowing blocks are harder to break but give bigger rewards.
3. 3Each mine is procedurally generated, so every run is different. Upgrade to find richer ore, bonus blocks, cards, oxygen, cooling supplies, and new gameplay features.

Tips and strategy

• Glowing blocks are the gamble of every run. They take longer to break than ordinary rock, so they are worth the detour when your supplies are healthy and a bad idea when the run is already stretched.
• Oxygen and cooling are what really end a descent, not the rock in front of the drill. Turning back a little early is how you keep the ore you have already collected.
• Cards and bonus blocks are only worth chasing when they sit on your route home. Digging deeper for one more shiny block is how a profitable run turns into an empty one.
• Money spent on your miner follows you into every future mine, while a single upgrade on one mine only helps once. When a run is going well, the upgrades that widen what you can find tend to outlast the ones that just speed up the next trip.

Frequently asked questions

What are the glowing blocks in Miner: Drilling?

They are the high-value blocks. They take longer to push through than ordinary rock, so they are worth the detour when you have supplies to spare and best avoided when your run is already running short.

Can I play Miner: Drilling on my phone?

Yes. The game is portrait and uses a virtual joystick, or tapping and dragging on the screen. Drilling starts on its own as soon as you push into a block, so nothing extra is needed.

Do I have to escape the mine in Miner: Drilling?

Yes. Getting out with the loot is the point of a run, and oxygen and cooling run down as you dig. The decision that matters is when to turn back rather than how deep you can push.
