BitDigger is an early freeform mining prototype about digging your own tunnels, collecting gems, managing battery power, upgrading your gear, and pushing deeper into the dark.


Use your drill to carve through dirt and rock, collect ore, return to your cabin to recharge and cash out, then buy upgrades, disposable batteries, and ladder segments to make deeper expeditions safer. The cave is pixel-based, so every tunnel, ledge, and awkward little mistake is shaped by your digging.


This is an early browser/mobile demo. Progress, money, upgrades, and packed items save, but mine layouts do not persist yet. Temporary placed mine items, such as ladders, are refunded when the mine resets. Rescue drops your backpack as a temporary recovery cache and returns you to the cabin.


Best played on a touchscreen in landscape mode.
