DeepWell

Mine whole worlds, one block at a time.

Start beside a campfire with a pickaxe and an entire world of resources beneath your feet. Carve tunnels through hills, hollow out mountains, and turn winding caves into enormous excavations.

Deepwell is a 2D procedural mining sandbox built around one ambition: mining your way through whole worlds. Gather coal, iron, and gold, bring your haul back to camp, and upgrade your equipment to tackle bigger digs.

Your backpack can only hold so much. Fill it with resources, teleport home to deposit your haul, then head underground again with a stronger pickaxe and more room for treasure. Follow expedition goals or choose your own pace as you reshape the landscape.
