Swing your pickaxe at the rock. Every cell you break charges a bar, and a full bar births a thrown pickaxe that digs beside you until it shatters. Collect what the rock dropped, buy the upgrade you can see, and dig a deeper shaft next round. A short mining incremental in ink on paper.

About This Game

Swing!


Hit the rock yourself. Fill the bar, and a thrown pickaxe pops out of the cell you just broke.

They dig for you


Thrown pickaxes bounce and dig until they shatter. Chain picks jump to the next cell, ember picks set the rock burning, and every break they make fills the bar again.

Chain reactions


Blasts, quakes and whetstones hide in the rock. Set one off and watch the cascade.

Every level shows


Coins buy your hand's and your pickaxes' rows, grit buys the tree. Every level changes a whole number you can see on screen, and you can see every level.

Deeper every round


Every round starts from the surface, and the only way down is to be stronger than last time. Your record is painted on the shaft wall. The shaft has a floor.

In the full game

  • New maps, each a different shaft with its own rock and ores
  • A permanent tree of unlocks that carries from map to map
  • New pickaxe types and blocks
  • What waits below the floor

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI was used during development only. The game's assets (art, textures, icons and the store images) began as AI-generated images that we then selected, edited and finished by hand. Part of the code was written with AI coding assistants under the developer's direction, and all of it was reviewed and tested by us. The sounds are free CC0 recordings, not AI. Nothing is generated while you play.
