About game
Mining fans craving a frantic race against the clock will find Dig and Haul a serious challenge. You start with forty seconds of air, forcing you to balance deep exploration with a safe retreat to the surface. Every block you smash reveals copper, gold, or rare crystals, but greedy miners often get trapped by their own ambition. You must decide when to bank your current haul before your oxygen tank hits empty. Upgrading your gear at the base camp adds vital seconds to your survival timer, letting you reach the deeper, more lucrative layers of the earth. Procedurally generated maps mean every trip into the mine feels fresh and unpredictable. Reaching the treasure vault one hundred meters down requires careful planning and constant equipment tweaks. You can start your journey right now in your browser without downloading anything.
How to play
Tap a block beside an open tunnel to walk over and dig. Tap an empty cell to move there. On desktop you can also use the arrow keys or WASD. The “To the lift” button starts the return journey along an open route, which also consumes oxygen. Bring your loot to the surface to earn coins. If you run out of oxygen, the rescue capsule returns you home without that expedition’s loot. Buy upgrades in the camp workshop. Use the pause button or Esc to pause.
