WAKE THE MINE

Dig deep. Dig loud. Get out before it escalates.

You pilot a lone mining rig deep in a cave that does not want you there. Every crystal you drill fills your hold with ore,  and every drill echoes through the dark, drawing the machines that live down here and stirring something much bigger. Bank enough ore to power the escape elevator, then start it… and survive what comes when the whole mine wakes at once.

The loop

• Drill glowing ore and haul it back to the Mining Base to bank it — banked ore powers your escape.
• Fight the crawlers and flying drones for coins, and spend them at the base on upgrades: mining speed, damage, cargo space, and base-defense turrets.
• Drilling is loud. It pulls enemy waves and wakes the Stalker — an armored hunter you can't kill, only outrun. Mine greedily and it comes sooner.
• Carve your own path. The cavern is walled with rock pillars — drill straight through one to open a shortcut or break out of a dead end.
• Bank the goal and the elevator primes. Step on the pad to launch — and hold out through the finale as everything in the mine converges on you.
