• Demo Coming Very Shortly! - 12 March 2026

  Hello Miners,A demo for the game will be releasing very shortly, so keep your eye out for when it drops!Please feel free to join our discord and give suggestions, bugs ect that will help improve the game.I have been working a lot to improve the smoothness of the gameplay, and have also added an 'ending' whereby you will have to pay 50k coins to leave the island resulting in ending the game. In the future you will be able to prestige etc, but for now its a good way to complete the demo, or just keep grinding forever if you really want to :)
