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: 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.
