In Deep: Idle Mine, your mine continues to operate even when the game is closed.
Strike the rock, hire drills — and they'll extract ore autonomously day and night. Every 25 metres you descend, a new layer is revealed: soil, clay, limestone, granite, obsidian — leading deeper into the earth. Each layer you uncover permanently increases your output.
What awaits you:
- A self-evolving machine — your rig transforms from a simple structure into a vibrant energy station with hydraulics and a core.
- Cart ride — an arcade mode where you dodge obstacles and collect crystals with a single button.
- Three types of currency with unique purposes — ore enhances the mine, crystals unlock permanent bonuses, ingots provide lasting multipliers.
- Smelting — restart the run to obtain ingots, each of which permanently boosts your output and mining power.
- Up to 24 hours of offline earnings — return to a depot filled with ore.
- Dynamic soundtrack — soothing music that never grows tiresome during extended play sessions.
The game loads in an instant and saves your progress automatically in the cloud.
How to play
The main task is to go deeper and deeper, improve your drills, and increase your ore profits.
Controls:
• MOBILE: just tap the rock to start digging. When you're in the cart, tap the screen to jump, and double-tap for a double jump.
• DESKTOP: click on the rock or press [Space] / [Arrow Up]. These keys will also help you jump while in the cart.
Hints:
- Your drills work on their own and keep earning even when the game is closed, so prioritize upgrading them.
- Every 25 meters brings you to a new rock layer, giving a permanent +10% to yield and crystals as a bonus.
- Crystals survive smelting, so use them confidently for permanent upgrades.
- Don't be afraid to smelt: the deeper you go, the more ingots you get, and each ingot strengthens your mine forever.
- The Lamp increases your critical hit chance, Dynamite blasts automatically, and the Depot boosts your offline income limit.
- In the cart run, aim for the crystals above obstacles; you can reach them with a double jump.
