Idle game: progress builds over time, not through fast reactions.

Clicker: clicking parts of the game triggers actions.

How the game behaves

You start with a small coal mine. Clicking on elements of the game triggers actions, and the mine grows as you dig deeper.

Growth comes from three kinds of improvement: upgrading equipment, hiring more miners and expanding shafts. Deeper shafts reach more valuable resources, which is what turns the first mine into an empire.

It is a clicker with the pace of an idle game: what matters is which improvement you choose next, not how quickly you react.

Better equipment, more miners, longer shafts: the mine grows downward.

Facts checked on Poki, 29 September 2026

Worth trying early

  • Look for the slowest part of the mine and put the next upgrade there.

  • Hire miners and upgrade equipment before expanding shafts further.

  • Expand shafts when you are ready to go deeper; that is where the more valuable resources are.

  • Keep sittings short at first until you see how the mine grows between choices.

Likely to suit

Players who like planning upgrades and watching a small operation grow, in short or long sittings.

Worth weighing first

Progress is gradual and repetitive by design.
