Welcome to Gold Miner, the classic mining arcade game where you dig, swing, and strike it rich! With your trusty claw and an eye for golden treasures, you'll explore underground riches while racing against time. Whether you're mining for gold nuggets, rare gems, or ancient artifacts, every second counts in your quest for fortune.
Gold Miner is a timeless game loved by millions around the world. Its simple yet addictive mechanics make it a favorite among casual gamers, while its progressively challenging levels keep even seasoned players coming back for more. So, grab your helmet, man your claw, and get ready to dig deep into fun!
In Gold Miner, you control a crank-powered claw that swings back and forth above the underground. Your job is to launch the claw at the perfect time to grab as much treasure as possible within the limited time. Each object underground—be it gold, stone, diamond, or mystery bag—has its own weight and value. The heavier the item, the longer it takes to reel in.
The goal of each level is to collect enough money before time runs out. Reach your target, and you move on to tougher and richer levels. Miss it, and it's game over—unless you’ve got a backup item or skill to save the day!
One-tap control: Click or tap to launch the claw.
Time limit: Each level has a countdown; collect enough gold before it hits zero.
Upgrade system: Use your collected money to buy dynamite, strength boosts, and time extensions.
Strategy required: Go for high-value items quickly or aim for smaller objects that are easier to grab.
The game combines simplicity and strategy perfectly, offering an experience that’s easy to start but hard to master.
