Controls

• Desktop: Use the WASD, arrow keys, or click in the general direction to move (Up, Down, Left, Right) through the mine.
• Mobile: Tap on the screen in the direction you want to move.

Mining Ore to Earn Cash

Each level of the mine contains ore blocks of varying value. Collect these before other players to earn cash.

Energy System

As players move through the mine their energy will deplete— draining faster the more you move. When energy runs out, players must answer a question correctly to continue mining.

Level Unlock

All players dig through the same mine, one level at a time, competing to collect valuable ore. A timer at the bottom of each level counts down, unlocking the next level for everyone.

Power-Ups and Treasures

Along the way, players can find boosts that change the game:

• TNT clears surrounding blocks instantly, collecting all ore in the blast area.
• Mystery Crates contain upgrades such as larger TNT blasts, bigger pickaxes, directional dynamite to clear rows, and the Ore Generator which spawns new ore around the player.
• Treasure Chests give bonus cash.
• Treasure Rooms appear rarely and contain massive rewards.

Ending the Game

The game ends when the timer runs out or when the score goal is reached. The player with the most cash is declared the winner.
