An idle mining tycoon played in a vertical cutaway mine. Miners dig ore into each shaft's cart, the elevator carries it up to the surface, and haulers bring it to the warehouse to sell. Tap any crew to work by hand, then hire managers to run it on its own and use their timed boosts. Upgrade shafts, the elevator and the warehouse to fix bottlenecks, and unlock deeper shafts from stone to copper, silver, gold and gems. You keep earning offline for up to 4 hours, and you can prestige to a new mine with a permanent income multiplier.

How to play

Tap a tunnel so its miners dig ore, tap the elevator shaft to carry ore up, and tap the road to send haulers to the warehouse to sell it. Spend cash on managers, who automate a stage and have a 2x speed boost, and on upgrades that add workers, capacity and speed. The slowest stage limits your income. Unlock deeper shafts for richer ore, and prestige once you have earned enough to open a new mine with a permanent income multiplier.

Controls
