  • Incremental
  • Mining
  • Short

You steer a drill with the mouse in runs lasting a few seconds: ore is collected automatically and, between runs, you spend it on upgrades that add drones, lasers or missiles. There are no enemies, and the campaign ends with credits.

Why play it now

When you fancy something relaxing for an afternoon: the campaign lasts around three or four hours.

Who it's for

For players who enjoy short incrementals and filling out an upgrade tree one run at a time.

When not to pick it

If you want variety: what you do in each run stays the same from start to finish.

What it offers

  • Relaxing: 70 out of 100
  • Managing: 35 out of 100
