Gold Mine Dash

Gold Mine Dash is an arcade game where you use a swinging claw to grab gold and other items. Choose when to drop the claw, then reel in whatever it catches. Each level gives you 60 seconds to meet its goal: large nuggets pay well but take longer to pull up, while rocks are heavy and worth very little.

Four mines

The game has 40 levels across four mines, each with its own hazards and treasure:

• Prospector's Creek: gold, rocks and mystery bags.
• Mole Burrows: tunnels with moles, some carrying diamonds.
• Powder Works: TNT barrels, runaway ore carts and supply crates.
• Lost Temple: golden idols, treasure chests and cursed urns.

Moles, scarabs and runaway ore carts act as moving targets. TNT can trigger chain reactions, and levels also feature mystery bags and cursed urns. Each mine has its own soundtrack theme.

Prepare between levels

Between levels, you can buy items at the General Store to help with the next run. Its six items are dynamite to blast a bad catch, a Strength Tonic to reel in faster, a Lucky Clover for richer bags and crates, Gem Polish, a Rock Collector's Book and a Pocket Watch that adds 15 seconds.

Earn stars

Each level has a goal and two tougher targets for earning its second and third star. Collecting all 120 stars unlocks 18 Steam achievements, including Chain Reaction and Buzzer Beater.
