About This Game

One pickaxe is just the beginning.

Your journey in PICKRIFT starts among stone and ore—and reaches far beyond, into distant worlds and mysterious Rift regions. Send your pickaxes bouncing through the mine, gather valuable resources, and turn your discoveries into powerful tools, specialized equipment, and a spaceship of your own.

PICKRIFT combines automatic mining with an extensive progression system. Every discovery brings new opportunities. Will you invest in raw damage, better resource yields, unique tools, or the next stage of your journey?

Turn your pickaxe into something extraordinary.
Your pickaxes bounce through the mine, breaking blocks and uncovering resources. New tools, runes, and modules change their strengths and abilities. Focus on critical hits, resource collection, or special effects—and discover combinations that suit your playstyle.

A branching skill tree with 50 talents gives you more ways to develop your build. Combine compatible planetary modules to unlock powerful synergies. Lunar modules, for example, can briefly summon additional pickaxes after a bounce. Individual upgrades matter, but how they work together can make all the difference.

Explore eight worlds with their own challenges.
Travel from Earth and the Moon to frozen landscapes and mysterious Rift worlds. Each destination features a distinct mining backdrop, unique resources, and different conditions. Complete planetary contracts, increase your mastery, and unlock new travel routes. Establish outposts and take on dangerous elite cores and bosses.

Adapt your equipment to the worlds you discover. Shatter frozen blocks with the Ice Drill, or use the Magnet Pickaxe to track down ore veins. Each specialized tool opens up new ways to approach the mine.

Build a spaceship that tells the story of your journey.
Recover wreckage and expand your ship with salvaged components. New attachments change its appearance, while upgraded systems support your expeditions. Improve your scanner, increase your material yields, and upgrade your engines for faster salvage missions.

Your next discovery is waiting between the planets.
Explore a vast, pannable and zoomable star map featuring 128 plunderable asteroids. Search ore-rich rocks, crystal fields, shipwrecks, and ancient relic sites. Distance and engine upgrades determine how long each salvage mission takes.

Alongside coins and planetary materials, you may discover rare rewards: fragments for the Comet Pickaxe, visible ship attachments, and permanent upgrade chips. Every asteroid can be salvaged once. Not every expedition will uncover a rare treasure—but the next one might hold the part you’ve been looking for.

Features include:

• Eight explorable worlds, each with distinct materials, hazards, and mining environments.

• 128 asteroids on an interactive star map with zoom, filters, and distance information.

• Specialized pickaxes and 55 runes supporting different playstyles.

• 50 talents and combinable planetary modules with special synergy effects.

• An upgradeable spaceship with visible salvaged components and useful onboard systems.

• Crafting, contracts, mastery, and prestige to keep your progression moving forward.

• Distinctive pixel art bringing personality to your mines, equipment, and worlds.

Forge your next pickaxe, set a course for another world, and discover what lies beneath the next layer.
