Ground Breaker

In the game “Ground Breaker,” rumors circulate that a legendary artifact lies somewhere deep within an old mine. Many have gone down to find it, but no one has ever returned. You’ve lost everything you had and have decided to devote the rest of your life to finding this treasure. Your hero has nothing but an old pickaxe, and the mine is so dark that you can’t see past your own nose. One thing he knows for sure: the artifact awaits at the very end of this abandoned place. Before you descend, a stranger named Rick approaches you and offers to help—but not for free; he wants a share of the artifact in exchange. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and there’s almost no air left in the mine.

How to Play?

Control the hero with the arrow keys. Once you enter the mine, the game will give you a few more hints. To break a rock, hover over it, click, and hold until it crumbles. At the bottom right, you can see your air supply and the number of stones you’ve mined. There’s not much air, so as soon as it’s running low, run to the exit to refill your supply. If you don’t make it in time, stones will start being deducted from your supply, and when they run out, the hero will die. Then you’ll have to start the whole game over, without any of the upgrades you’ve purchased. Take the mined stones to Rick’s shop. There, you can buy extra air, a new pickaxe, a brighter light, and boots that make the hero run faster. Further down in the mine, moles will appear and attack your hero, and you’ll encounter chasms. Later on, you’ll be able to fend off the moles with your shovel and fill in the chasms with stones. To do this, tap and hold the chasm until the hole closes. Try not to die and make it all the way to the very end, where the artifact lies.
