Moon Miner

About this game

A dead moon with a profitable secret

You are Rig 7, a mining contractor sent by Meridian to strip a dead moon for ore. The job is simple at first: dig, haul, sell, upgrade, repeat. But the deeper you go, the more the moon stops looking empty. Old rigs are buried in the strata, lost crews left warnings behind, and Commander Marlow keeps pushing you toward the signal beneath everything.

Mine deeper, risk more, bring it home

Every descent is a balance between greed and survival. Cut through glowing rock, fill your cargo hold, watch your battery, protect your hull, and decide when to return before the moon takes your haul. Sell ore at the surface depot to upgrade your drill, cargo bay, power cell, lamp, hull, and insurance, then dive again for richer minerals, harsher hazards, and the truth waiting at the core.
