Idle Miner Depths
Run a cartoon mine: dig ore in eight ever deeper shafts, haul it up the elevator, cart it to the warehouse, hire managers to automate everything, then sell the mine for Deeds.
Idle Miner Depths is a mining tycoon clicker built around a three-step production chain. Little miners in hard hats dig ore into crates at the bottom of each shaft, an elevator cage rides down to collect it, and a worker with a wheelbarrow carts the pile from the headframe to the warehouse where it is sold. At first every step waits for your tap, so you dig, send the lift and push the cart yourself. Hire a manager for each stage and the mine starts running on its own, even while you are away.
The twist is balance. Every shaft, the elevator and the cart level up separately, and the shop marks whichever one is the current bottleneck, so you always know where the next coin should go. Levels 10, 25, 50 and beyond double a unit's output. Dig deeper to open Copper, Iron, Silver and Gold shafts, all the way down to Diamond, each with ore worth fifteen times the last. Managers can trigger a double speed boost, and sparkling gem veins appear in the tunnels: tap one for a cash haul or a three times Gold Rush.
When income stalls, sell the mine for Deeds that boost all future sales, unlock company perks and collect trophies. It is a relaxed idle game for players who like optimising a small machine. Tip: hire the coal manager first, then keep the elevator level ahead of your shafts.
How to play
Tap a shaft to dig ore into its crate, tap the elevator to carry ore up, and tap the cart to sell it at the warehouse. Use the Mine tab to level up each shaft, the elevator and the cart, and to hire managers who automate them. The red BOTTLENECK label shows what is slowing you down. Open deeper shafts for more valuable ore, buy one-time Boosts, and tap gem veins for bonuses. Sell the mine in the Sell Mine tab to end the run: your score is the Deeds earned, and each Deed adds 10 percent to future sales. Progress saves automatically and managed mines earn while you are away.
