About this game

Every downward dig costs stamina, scaling up against denser and tougher soil types. Equipping pickaxes adds Power to shave down that stamina drain to a minimum baseline of one, with tool durability degrading only when the pickaxe is actively working to reduce a layer's cost. Footwear also wears down gradually over repeated excavations.

Venturing deeper gradually drops visibility, requiring torches and other light sources to cut through the mounting gloom. There are no enemies or ticking clocks to rush the descent; progress builds across repeated excursions as players uncover ores, unearth buried oddities, and travel between areas like the Meadow and the Farfields.

Game features

  • Encased relics: Clicking an encased relic emits soft, medium, or strong proximity pings to pinpoint the exact hiding spot.
  • Furnace loading: Holding Shift while clicking the plus button automatically deposits the maximum possible fuel or ore.
  • Surface recall: Pressing B immediately brings the player back up to the surface.

Quick ask—what's the method for finding quartz down in the magma layer? I've tried grampshell, yet after putting in a fair bit of time there, quartz just isn't showing up for me.

Enjoyable, though super grind-heavy so it gets pretty repetitive Hitting the jackpot gave me that last rush I needed to call it quits :p sadly there's nothing tracking my gambling habit

OMG i had no idea gems boosted nix's shield points?!!? did the update add this?!?!?! no wonder i was having such a rough time ong

purenpoli

anyone got a solid strat for reaching deepwater as nix? pretty sure pre-update i relied on grampshell's sigil for extra quartz, though since that's turned into a hunch and shield points don't gain from them anymore, the toxic area keeps stopping me

Hey scoot! Since unlocking every achievement I've started doing repeat runs, and now I lose track of which characters have made it to water in farfields; can you view anywhere which ones have gotten there?

knowing the sole turtle who can't wield the siphon pickaxe happens to be the toughest one by a mile to bring down to deep water really shows how good that tool is

Yo man i rarely drop a comment, yet this game's vibes are unreal man. Only problem is Safari doesn't hold onto my save, though the game's so goated i'm ready for run number three + at least now i've learned Firefox keeps the save.

Looks like a bug (maybe). Neither "Iron Helm" nor any other headgear will drop for me. A baseball bat is all I've got. Even after beating the game (making it to the water), Iron Helm still hasn't appeared. I seem to have collected every drill tool and pair of boots, yet in the helmet slot it's just that baseball bat. So unlocking "Heavy Drip" is impossible right now ("Reach Water from the surface without unequipping…

Congratulations on hitting the top-rated spot. Figuring out how the gameplay and mechanics worked took me a bit at first, though hey, I'm old—I grew up back when games didn't explain anything unless a brand-new copy happened to include the manual, and good luck finding one used. Awesome job

Relics could really use clearer cues. I've got zero idea how you distinguish a soft ping from a hard one by sound. Also hit a crash the moment I entered the ice layer: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'isDiggable') Forced me to refresh the page.

Huge congrats on hitting the top 3 highest-rated browser games!! By the way, is there any option to try hard mode if I began on easy mode? Since I've already got everything unlocked on easy?

DanielLC

I've got eight hats already, yet the one saying six or more accessories still hasn't opened up. Are the easy mode accessories required for that? Plus, appreciate you adding hard mode. I would've tried it regardless, though knowing it got playtested and I won't click the cow by mistake is great. Edit: Oh, that was talking about the Occult Oddities. Got him unlocked…

I really love this ! The music tracks in particular are a big favorite of mine. Is there somewhere else I can hear them? Were they made originally for this or found elsewhere?

LennyTheFreak

Once a week at minimum, I catch myself thinking about how great this game is. You're the GOAT! Bravo. Those vibes really stick around after you leave. VIBE ACHIEVED

spitparty

any plans to put this on Steam? I'd really like to get it there, Honestly, automatic cloud saves would be convenient enough that I'd pay for it

junhiiragi

Any chance you've got updates in mind? I finally wrapped up all there is to do :(. Really adored this game. Honestly, it's up there as one of my favorite games ever!!!!!!
