Deepshaft

Everything below is yours if you can carry it back up. Lease a drilling pod, burn fuel to dig and climb, and see how deep you can push before the tank runs dry.

DEEPSHAFT is a mining descent: burn fuel to thrust and drill, haul ore back to the surface to sell, and reinvest in a faster drill, a bigger tank, a tougher hull, more cargo space, or a stronger engine. Every trip down is a bet against your own fuel gauge — dig too greedily and you'll be drifting on fumes with a hold full of ore and no way home.

WHAT'S DOWN THERE

• Seven mineral types worth increasingly serious credits, buried in rock that's different every run.
• Pressurized gas pockets and lava that don't care how full your cargo hold is.
• Deeper levels bring subterranean worms that burrow straight for your pod — you'll feel them coming before you see them.
• A sealed core chamber at the bottom of each level, worth a hefty bonus if you can reach it and still climb out.

GEAR UP Blasting charges, fuel cells, a superthruster, a superdrill, a voidstone laser, and an emergency teleporter — all purchasable from the surface station once you've got the credits to afford them.

NO FIXED ENDING The descent doesn't stop at a fixed depth. Difficulty, ore value, and your upgrade ceiling all keep scaling the deeper you go — how far you push is up to you.

• One-handed touch controls, built for phones from the ground up.
• Progress saves automatically as you dig.
