Gold Digger  is a fast, juicy arcade mining roguelite. Carve down through five biomes — Frontier Mine, Sandstone Caverns, Crystal Depths, Haunted Catacombs, and the Magma Foundry — for gold, diamonds, rubies and lost artifacts. But the earth is alive: **boulders fall the instant you dig beneath them** (drop them on enemies, or get crushed), cracked ground caves in, **lava pours into your tunnels and the mine floods with water.** Watch your air, weigh greed against survival, and get out before the depths swallow you.

Features

- Boulder-Dash physics** — falling boulders & gems, chain reactions, telegraphed cave-ins, flowing lava and rising water (lava + water makes obsidian).

- 6 objective types** — collect a quota, dig to the exit, survive the swarm, or grab the artifact and **escape a collapsing, flooding mine**.

- 5 boss fights** — one per biome (The Crusher, Sandworm, Crystal Hydra, The Lich, Magma Titan), each beaten by weaponizing the mine itself.

- Tools & gear** — dynamite plus a swappable tool slot: Ore Scanner, Magnet, Recall beacon, or Power Drill. Grab shield / ×2-coins / air / bomb pickups from fallen foes.

- Deep progression** — a branching upgrade tree, a Cargo pack, achievements, rotating bounties, and a **Prestige "Deep Dive Reset"** for permanent multipliers.

- Daily Dig** — one shared seeded run per day with its own leaderboard.

- Cosmetics** — miner skins, pets, lamp colors and dig trails.

- Made to feel great** — hit-stop, screen shake, combo multipliers, torch lighting, adaptive music, and full sprite art. Plays beautifully on mobile (touch joystick + buttons) and desktop.

No download. No account. Just dig.
