About game
Fans of high-speed arcade action will find their new obsession in Driller and Miner. You take control of a powerful rig destined to reach the core of the earth while dodging deadly hazards. Navigating the shifting layers requires quick reflexes since the machine drops automatically through the crust. You steer left or right to snatch up hidden treasures while keeping a safe distance from volatile dynamite sticks. Every successful run pushes your depth record higher as you gather precious resources from the dark cavern. Between descents you spend your stockpiled loot on essential gear to push even further into the abyss. Using a plasma shield or nuclear fuel allows you to survive mistakes or skip dangerous sections entirely. Driller and Miner creates a loop where every failed attempt brings you closer to a better upgrade. Jump into the action right inside your browser without any annoying downloads or signups.
How to play
There is only one control: move your finger or the cursor left and right. The drill descends on its own, you decide where it goes. The yellow frame marks the column it is heading for — the drill shifts at most one column per row, so plan your turns early.
Collect fuel canisters and diamonds. These are two separate currencies and they carry over between runs.
Avoid the dynamite. Hitting it ends the run instantly, unless your shield is up.
Before a run you can buy boosters, one or both at once. Nuclear Fuel costs canisters and drives the drill a hundred rows down, straight through everything in the way. The Plasma Shield costs diamonds and absorbs one explosion.
Your score grows with every row you pass, so the goal is simple: get as deep as you can. When you die you get a few seconds to continue the run from the same spot.
Features
- Permanent progression: Diamonds and fuel canisters stay in your inventory after a crash so you can buy upgrades over time.
- Strategic movement: The rig shifts only one column per row which forces you to plan your path ahead of time.
- Booster shop: Access the shop between runs to purchase plasma shields or nuclear fuel using your collected wealth.
- High score chase: Compete against your own best depth record as the layers get tougher and more crowded with explosives.
