You control a living pickaxe capable of tearing through the world on its way to the core. Launch it downward, upgrade and modify it, and watch as a simple descent turns into a chaotic spectacle of explosions, lightning, and combos.

latest update

Demo Update 0.4.0 • 2026/05/31 May 31, 2026

Hey everyone!

Big update this time - we've added timed events to shake up your runs, reworked some systems, and squashed a bunch of bugs.

Timed Events

Five new timed events can now trigger during your run:

• Glass Blocks - block HP is reduced by 80%, everything shatters in just a few hits (comes with a new artifact)
• Blast Zone - blocks explode when broken (new talent)
• Gold Rush - all ore drops are doubled (new talent)
• Lucky Streak - proc chances for abilities (dynamite, clones, etc.) are doubled (new talent)
• Overdrive - pickaxe speed ×5 (new talent)

Changes

• The skill tree background now shows animated falling ore that updates as you unlock new ore types
• Several talents in the talent tree have been redesigned
• Four new talent types added, tied to timed events and QTE mechanics
• QTE spawn logic and overall QTE behavior have been overhauled

Bug Fixes

• Ore stat upgrades can no longer be purchased before the ore itself is unlocked
• Fixed a bug where gold blocks couldn't be broken the first time they were encountered
• Fixed incorrect positioning of the first marker on the depth scale
• The discount exclamation mark in the skill tree now displays correctly
• Fixed incorrect talent description
• Fixed several translation errors

As always, if you run into any issues - let us know. We're constantly working to make the game better! ⛏️
