Hello, miners! Version 1.1.0 is out for Windows today and with it comes the most requested feature: the achievements! steamhappy I've also updated all of the dependencies to their latest versions, making them more stable and secure. This comes with a few trade-offs: the package size is somewhat increased and the support for 32-bit systems is gone. Overall, though, very few people (if anyone) should be affected. As to getting the achievements, please make sure the game is launched after Steam is launched. While there's still no DRM and you can play the game without Steam, it does need to talk to Steam in order to grant you those sweet golden icons. I hope you enjoy this update! Happy Holidays!

This is a game I wrote so that I could have a bit of a distraction at work. The idea is simple, you click to mine a resource, hire workers to do the mining for you, upgrade them, unlock new levels and worker types, gain prestige levels and start over. I used to switch to it about every hour or so, distribute the gold and return back to work.

At some point a few of my coworkers noticed and asked to play too. They seemed to really enjoy it, requested new features and reported bugs. Before I knew it, a dozen people in the office were playing. (You might be tempted to tell my boss, but he was playing too and even wrote a cheat.) This was a bit unexpected, but made me realize that people outside of work might enjoy this game as well.

After a bit of searching I collaborated with an artist and a composer to help me make the game more presentable. Working on this project was fun and all of us learned a lot. What you see is the result of our efforts and we hope you enjoy it despite its flaws. Thank you!
