The Miner's Routine

The Miner's Routine is a pixel-art adventure about restoring an abandoned mine on a distant island, where you have been exiled by order of the king. Starting with a simple pickaxe, you gather resources, clear rubble and explore underground to discover what lies beneath the mountain—and perhaps find a way to freedom.

Restore the mine

Mine ore and other resources, haul them to the surface, process raw materials and smelt metals to make equipment and upgrade your tools. Clear rubble, repair tracks and machinery, reinforce unstable tunnels, and restore abandoned sections. You can use minecarts to transport resources, expand your mining operation and hire workers to help gather resources and keep production running. Each upgrade opens access to new passages, ore deposits and deeper levels.

Explore the depths

The tunnels hold collapsed passages, poisonous gas, flooding and strange creatures. Goblins and other creatures have made their homes underground, while traces of former miners offer clues to the mine's buried mystery. As you explore farther beneath the mountain, you may uncover a chance to escape your sentence.
