StalakMiner

StalakMiner is about racing other miners to deliver a payload to the core of a planet for a large corporation. You dig through underground zones to find metals and minerals, sell them for credits and upgrade your vehicle so you can dig faster, deeper and longer than your competitors. The contract has already sent other miners ahead of you, so you need to make haste. Watch your fuel: if it runs out, your vehicle self-destructs to protect corporate secrets.

Dig through the planet

The planet has 10 underground zones, each with a distinct appearance and ambient sounds. You choose how to dig your shafts to reach different resources, weighing the challenges of each material and the possibility of missing nearby deposits. Lava, hidden gas pockets, rocks and stalakmites obstruct your routes; stalakmites also guard caves containing knowledge, blueprints and other technology left by previous explorers.

Upgrade your vehicle

Sell recovered resources at the mineral processor to earn credits and XP. Spend credits at the workshop to upgrade your vehicle, and use XP to unlock cosmetic customizations and skins that do not affect gameplay. The caves also hold technologies left behind by previous explorers that you can unlock for your vehicle.

You can buy items to help with the underground obstacles. Dynamite blasts rocks blocking your path, expanding foam provides a stepstool for reaching items, and teleporters quickly carry cargo to the surface.

Timed treasures

Your scanner sometimes detects temporally unstable treasures nearby, including treasure chests and skeletal remains. You have very little time to find and reach them while managing your health, fuel and cargo. Finding one can bring a financial reward.

Leaderboards

Global and friends-only leaderboards track how quickly you complete the objective of delivering the payload to the planet's core. Timed leaderboards let you compete for the fastest level completion, while score-based competition rewards extracting valuable underground resources.
