About This Game

Dig. Upgrade. Go deeper.

PICKRIFT is a fast pixel-art mining game. Your pickaxe tears through the rock on its own - you steer it, trigger Power Smashes at the right moment and chain explosions through ore, crystals and TNT. Every block you break pays out, every upgrade makes the next dive faster, and every expedition takes you further down.

Build your pickaxe

• 27 pickaxes with their own roles: heavy crushers, fast twin picks, blast picks, rune pickaxes, exotic tools from distant worlds and trophies dropped by bosses.

• 61 runes in six rarities, from Common to Unique - lightning chains, drills, meteors, echoes and many more. Open rune crates and equip up to four runes per pickaxe.

• 13 mods with eight upgrade stages, plus refinements that permanently strengthen each pickaxe.

• Gems and jewels: rubies, sapphires and emeralds hide deep in the rock. Cut them into jewels and socket one into every pickaxe.

• A loot drone flies beside your pickaxe and brings back extra coins and ore from every block.

Eight worlds, eight titans

Travel from Earth to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Europa, Titan, the asteroid belt and the endless Rift. Each world has its own rock, materials, dangers and a colossal boss waiting at depth - dodge its attacks and strike its open core with your Power Smash.

Grow stronger with every run

• Skill tree with 48 talents across five branches - from extra damage to a swarm of up to three pickaxes.

• Expeditions: start over at the surface, keep your gear and earn Depth Cores for permanent talents.

• Daily and weekly Rift missions with rewards.

• Offline income while you are away.
