How to Play
Mine Rush is a minimalist idle mining game. Your crew digs on its own — you manage growth, choose upgrades, and time your rebirths.
Core Loop
- Your miner works automatically — it swings, aims and moves by itself. Use WASD / arrow keys to take manual control when things get hairy.
- Enemies drop ores as your shaft deepens: Copper, Iron, Silver, Stone, Crystal, Obsidian — and rare Gems from Geodes.
- Spend ores in the talent tree — every miner gets a procedurally generated tree. Nodes come in 6 rarities and branch into themed families.
- Level up — defeating cave creatures grants XP. On each level, pick 1 of 3 upgrades (loot, XP, discounts, crit damage…).
- Beat bosses every 400m — Magma King, Obsidian and Golem Prime drop big loot and keep pushing your run.
- Reborn when your total miner level reaches 3. Convert levels into permanent upgrades (damage / loot / health).
Ores & Gems

Cave Creatures
Slimes, Cave Bats and Golems appear from the start. Rock Crawlers unlock at 300m, Spitters (ranged) at 400m, Wraiths at 1100m. Elites spawn from 400m with 3.5x health. Geodes orbit your miner and drop Gems — chase them.
Rebirth
Your converted levels are tracked. When you rebirth, you gain points equal to new levels since your last rebirth, spend them on permanent tracks, and start a fresh run with re-rolled talent trees. Achievements and missions reset per rebirth — a new set of goals every run.
Offline Income
Your save is written every 15 seconds. When you return after 30+ seconds away, you collect up to 8 hours of offline ore based on your kill rate.
