⛏️ ABOUT WE DUG TOO DEEP

We Dug Too Deep is a free browser incremental mining game. Click the rock to mine gold, unlock deeper layers, hire guards and fight the monsters that come to steal your loot. An addictive mining clicker with a dark twist — no download required.

You are a greedy miner. You know it gets more dangerous the deeper you go. You keep digging anyway.

📖 HOW TO PLAY

  1. Mine. Tap the rock to earn gold. Every tap also digs you closer to the next layer.
  2. Keep a combo going. Tap fast to build a combo and earn bonus gold. Stop for too long and it breaks.
  3. Watch for rare ore. Some taps hit a glowing vein worth several times the usual gold.
  4. Automate. Buy an auto-pickaxe to mine while you rest, and upgrade your miner's strength, speed and pockets.
  5. Defend your gold. Monsters show up on a timer. Hit ATTACK before they run off with your gold, or hire guards to fight for you.
  6. Go deeper. Each layer pays more gold — and sends worse monsters. Every fifth layer has a boss with a big reward.
