## Description

Drill through six strata to the magma margin, haul back richer ore, and outfit the rig until the launch pad opens. Manage your fuel and dodge the obstacles to fly home.

Descent is an old-school mining game, made for iPhone.

• Six strata with unique characteristics
• Ore gets richer with depth: iron, copper, silver, gold, platinum — and Descentium, the rare guidance ore that opens the way home
• Five rig systems to upgrade: drill, fuel tank, cargo bay, hull, engine
• Dynamite... for when the rock disagrees with you
• Insurance: rescues aren't free!
• Buried bones scattered in the deep: assemble the whole skeleton for a payout
• Bring 3 Descentium and $150,000 to the launch pad, to complete the game
• Autosaves constantly; pick any run back up where you left it
• Fully offline. No ads. No in-app purchases.
• Game Center and iCloud sync are optional: achievements, leaderboards, and your save on every device

The ore gets richer the deeper you go. So does everything trying to stop you!
