Crack, mine, and sell valuable crystals as a hardened operator in this fast-paced incremental mining extraction roguelite.

Each run lets you build powerful in-run upgrades that shape your playstyle.

Earned currency fuels long-term, permanent progression through a deep upgrade tree.

Combat is fast and intense, with varied alien enemies that constantly pressure your positioning, resource management, and build choices.

You’ll face Telkar alien creatures of all sizes, some spit, some slash, some stomp! From small, fast-moving worm-like organisms to massive, spider-like aliens that dominate the battlefield. The Telkar are actively trying to protect the crystals you are extracting.

Upgrades are split into distinct categories, allowing for diverse playstyles:

  • Augmentations – Speed, dash abilities, oxygen efficiency, mobility upgrades and more.

  • Combat – Laser cooldowns and improvements, damage, grenades and mines, stuns, knockbacks, and various offensive modifiers.

  • Defense – Shields, health, armor, and various survivability boosts.

  • Mining – Backpack capacity, weight penalty reduction, deposit efficiency, and crystal handling, withdrawal upgrades and more.

  • Robotics – Automated drills, mining and combat drones, turrets, spinning blades, and various support machines.

  • Support – Airstrikes, bombing runs, chopper support, orbital assistance, mortars and much more.

Every venture is a calculated gamble but with upgrades each run gets easier and better - until you become the ultimate crystal cracker!
