Dig, Collect, Upgrade
Short runs, an upgrade after almost every run and a record that keeps getting deeper.
HOW TO PLAY
- The drill digs down by itself; you steer by dragging.
- Do not hit boulders or magma veins: the hull takes damage and fuel leaks.
- Grab fuel cans to make your run longer.
ORE AND GOLD
- Copper, silver, gold and gems: the deeper you go, the more they are worth.
- Every metre also pays a distance bonus.
- Reach depth goals for a lump of bonus gold.
UPGRADES
- Drill power: dig fast in hard rock, smash through weak boulders.
- Fuel tank and hull armor: longer, tougher runs.
- Magnet, ore value and rich veins: more gold.
LAYERS
- Topsoil, clay, bedrock, crystal cave, obsidian, magma vein and beyond.
- Each layer is harder and busier; veins with narrow gaps start deeper down.
- Your record line is on screen in every run.
Why Gem Drill?
A run takes less than a minute, but it is hard to stop without saying "one more".
PROGRESS EVERY RUN
- The gold you collect is yours after the run.
- There is an upgrade to buy after almost every run.
FAIR DIFFICULTY
- There is always a passable path between the boulders.
- Speed and density grow with depth; skill makes the difference.
PAUSE AND RESUME
- The pause button is always within reach.
- The game pauses itself when you leave the app.
OPTIONAL REWARDS
- Watch an ad to continue from where you stopped or to double your gold.
- Watching is entirely up to you.
