About This Game

Welcome to Orecatraz. Your sentence: mine until you're free.

Strapped into a heavy space suit and armed with a laser drill, you're sent out on shifts that last exactly as long as your oxygen. Every second counts: blast the central rock, catch the ore and gems flying everywhere, and make it back before the tank runs dry.

Short shifts, endless progress

  • Fast 30-second mining shifts – easy to start, hard to put down

  • Level up mid-shift and pick from supply-capsule cards: more damage, magnets, speed, chain effects

  • Bank your ore for gold and spend it at the homebase

Build your miner

  • A huge circuit-board skill tree that grows with every biome

  • A full chain of drills and emitters – from the starter hand emitter to plasma lances, prism emitters and the magma core drills (more to come!)

  • Recruit an android crew that keeps drilling for you

10 biomes to break through

From the neon-lit Core Mine through toxic grottos, crystal vaults, frozen rifts and lightning storms all the way to The Core – every planet brings new rock, new ore and better rewards.

  • Full controller support
