Overview

Gold Miner is a timing‑based arcade game where a swinging claw drops on command to latch onto underground objects. Large gold chunks are heavy but lucrative; rocks are cheap and slow you down; diamonds are light and valuable. Each level has a cash target under a time limit, and a shop offers dynamite, strength drinks, and lucky clovers for tougher stages.

How to Play

• Trigger the claw when its arc aligns with your target.
• Prioritize large gold early; use dynamite to ditch unwanted rocks.
• Purchase upgrades between rounds to meet higher goals.

Controls

• One key/click to drop claw; additional keys for items (host dependent).

Tips

• Learn arc timing—release slightly before the object’s center.
• Save dynamite for big rocks that waste time.
• Diamonds and mystery bags are high ROI; adjust targets by layout.

FAQ

• Q: How do I reach high targets on late levels?
  A: Buy strength and bombs, and focus on diamond routes.
• Q: Does dynamite refund time on rocks?
  A: It cancels the haul, letting you resume faster.
• Q: Are layouts random each run?
  A: Many versions randomize objects within difficulty bounds.
