Idle Miner
Tap to chip ore, dig downward through ever-richer layers, hire auto-miners and upgrade your ore cart so wealth flows in even while you rest. Progress auto-saves with capped offline earnings.
Idle Miner is a relaxed incremental game about digging ever deeper for richer ore. You start by tapping rock by hand, but the real fun is watching your little operation grow into a self-running mine — hired workers swing their picks, the ore cart hauls loads automatically, and money keeps trickling in even after you close the tab. Progress auto-saves, and offline earnings greet you when you return.
How to play
Tap or click the rock to chip ore and earn money. Spend that money in the shop to upgrade your pickaxe, hire auto-miners, and improve the ore cart. When a layer runs thin, tap DIG DEEPER to descend to more valuable ore. The loop is simple: mine, upgrade, dig, repeat, and let automation compound your income.
Tips
- Hire miners as soon as you can afford them for passive income while you are away.
- The ore cart multiplies all output, so it is one of the most worthwhile upgrades to prioritise.
- Deeper layers are worth far more per chip, so keep descending rather than grinding a shallow layer.
- Check back periodically to collect capped offline earnings before they max out.
