How to Play Miner Dash
You steer a small miner through solid ground, and every tile you move through becomes a carved tunnel behind you. The frames show the dig site as a lit circle in the dark — only the ground close to your miner is visible, so you find veins of material by pushing into the unknown rather than planning a route from above.
Scattered through the rock are clusters of precious elements and materials. Collect them as you dig, then use what you gather to craft new items and unlock further recipes. The loop repeats: descend, gather, craft, descend again, with the 30-day limit hanging over the whole run. Reach the core and you see your final high score.
The heads-up display sits along the top: a pause button, a bar marked with a pickaxe icon, three numbered counters, a sound toggle, and a DAYS 30 badge on the left edge marking the deadline for the run.
Tips
- Your view is limited to a small lit circle around the miner, so expect to probe the rock rather than spot deposits in advance.
- Materials are the input for crafting, so grab clusters you pass instead of tunnelling straight past them.
- Spend gathered resources on recipes as they unlock — new crafted items are the point of the collecting.
- Keep the 30-day limit in mind: the run is scored on reaching the core, not on tidy tunnels.
