About This Game

Dig holes. Clean off mysterious artifacts. Throw some dynamite. Enjoy the Martian sunset with your robot companion. It's all in a day’s work for a spacefaring prospector. You never know just what you’ll find as an Alien Archaeologist.

DIG

Your work begins with a simple shovel. Extract minerals ranging from humble stones to unobtainium, then throw it all in the grinder to afford new upgrades and tools that make your work even more efficient.

CLEAN

It's not just ore hiding in the crust of Mars. Unearth (well, unmars) pieces of alien relics to clean, assemble, and ship off to your corporate overlords.

DISCOVER

What secret lies in the belly of this dusty planet? Why did your employer send you here, and what happened to those who came before you? Every shovelful of dirt brings you closer to revealing a mystery buried deep in the Martian soil.

KEY FEATURES

  • Incremental Gameplay: Dig, grind, upgrade, repeat. Menial labor has never been this fun.

  • Unearth Artifacts: Who knows what you'll find as you dig down toward the planet's core? Discover, clean and assemble relics from a lost alien civilization.

  • Tools of the Trade: Pick up alien energy signatures on your detector, navigate tricky terrain with your jetpack, and put your trusty shovel to work. Tired of digging? Blast the planet to smithereens with good old fashioned dynamite.

  • Exploration: There are secrets abound beneath the dirt and rock. Excavate crystal caverns, astronaut outposts and alien installations as you delve deeper and deeper still. What's hiding at the bottom of the dig site?
