Above you is a wall of stone, and you know you are deep underground. Looking around on the ground, you find a wooden pickaxe. Soon, you realize that the only thing you can do is start digging. Merge pickaxes, collect resources, and mine straight up! (}-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-{) Experiencing lag?

MINING PHASE: - Drag your mouse to control the cart. - Collect the resources to earn money. - Higher level pickaxes have more durability and mine faster. - Once every pickaxe runs out of durability, you go to the merging phase. - Mine into the next layer to be able to buy higher level pickaxes. MERGING PHASE: - Use money to buy more pickaxes and upgrades. - Drag together two pickaxes of the same type in the grid or the lanes to merge them into a higher level pickaxe. - Click a pickaxe and click the text bubble to sell it. (}-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-{) UPGRADES: - Efficiency: multiplies your mining damage (starts at 1). - Crit Chance: increases your chance to deal 3x damage (starts at 0%). - Lucky Merge: increases your chance to get a +1 level pickaxe when merging (starts at 0%).

(Edit: I won in the “casual” category, but not easily!” - This game is a genre combination between merging game and catching game. Still don’t know what to do with puzzle genre though :| - Uses part of griffpatch’s terrain generation explanation video for the ore generation. - 2569 blocks, 23 sprites - This game is still unfinished, so drop any suggestions you might have in the comments! p.s. how do you like the block breaking effect? (}-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-{) CREDITS: - Griffpatch for the terrain generation explaination, but not the code. - Griffpatch for the sprite layering tutorial. - Sound effects from Minecraft. - A little inspiration from “Merge and Dig” on crazygames. - All other code, art, text, and ideas are by me :D (}-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-{) TAGS: _waffle_
