About this game

Wake up deep underground with no memory of how you arrived, armed only with a basic wooden pickaxe, in Mining Up - Idle Projectile Clicker. The only path out is up, through endless layers of solid stone, and your journey to the surface blends satisfying incremental progress with gentle strategy for a relaxing experience that works for players of all ages. There’s no pressure to rush, just steady, rewarding growth as you chip away at rock, gather valuable resources, and build out your mining operation over time. It fits perfectly into any schedule, whether you have five minutes to spare or check in a few times a day.

Start by tapping on stone blocks to break them and collect resources you can use to craft and merge pickaxes. Each merge of two identical pickaxes creates a more powerful tool that breaks rock faster, letting you get through tougher layers with less effort. You can spend your earned resources on upgrading three key stats: Efficiency to boost your base mining damage, Crit Chance to unlock rare 3x damage bursts, and Lucky Merge to get higher-tier pickaxes from merges for free. Once you progress far enough, you can hire automated miners to handle all the tapping for you, so you keep earning resources even when you close the game.

Satisfying incremental progression, smart strategy, and relaxing idle gameplay
