Play Deep Dig online
Deep Dig is a dig-down mining arcade game starring Monty, an original mole miner with a headlamp and a very determined pickaxe.
Hold to swing at tiles around Monty and burrow downward. Dirt, stone, and five tiers of ore stand between you and the bottom — every ore you crack sells itself instantly for coins.
Coins buy three upgrades: a stronger Pickaxe, an auto-Drill that keeps digging the tile below you, and Luck that makes every ore pay more. Deeper layers hit harder and pay better, so upgrading is the only way down.
Somewhere at 100 meters sits the golden Core Treasure. Crack it before the 120-second clock runs out and the mine is yours.
How to control Deep Dig
- Dig: press and HOLD mouse / finger (or SPACE) — aim by pointing at a tile near Monty
- Move: hold left / right of Monty, or Arrow keys / A D
- Buy upgrades: tap the Pickaxe / Drill / Luck cards, or keys 1 / 2 / 3
- M: mute sound
- R: restart
- Enter: start
How to play
- 1
You are Monty the mole. Hold to swing your pickaxe at nearby tiles and dig straight down.
- 2
Deeper rock is tougher: dirt gives way to stone, and ores (copper, silver, gold, diamond, emerald) sell automatically for coins.
- 3
Spend coins on Pickaxe power, an auto-Drill that digs below you, and Luck for richer ores.
- 4
Crack the golden Core Treasure chest at 100m depth to win.
- 5
Beat the 120-second clock — run out of time and the run is lost. Your best depth is saved between visits.
Tips for a better run
Dig straight down toward the treasure column — detours cost time, but visible gold and diamond veins are worth a sidestep.
Buy Pickaxe first: raw dig power is the fastest way to convert time into depth in the first 30 seconds.
The Drill keeps working while you aim sideways at ore veins, effectively doubling your output once it is leveled.
Luck scales every ore payout, so it pays for itself fastest once you are past 40m where silver and gold appear.
Watch the timer, not just the depth rail — a run that reaches 96m still loses if the clock hits zero.
Frequently asked questions
Is Deep Dig related to MineFun.io or Minecraft?
Only the dig-down mining genre is shared — it is a classic arcade format. Deep Dig is an original implementation: its name, Monty the mole character, the tile-by-tile pickaxe digging, the three-upgrade shop, and all canvas artwork were built for this game. It contains no third-party IP.
How do I win?
Dig down to 100 meters and break the golden Core Treasure chest. If the 120-second timer expires first, the run is lost. Your best depth is saved locally.
What do the upgrades do?
Pickaxe raises damage per swing, the auto-Drill periodically breaks the tile directly below Monty on its own, and Luck multiplies the coin value of every ore. All three can be bought any time from the cards at the bottom of the screen.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Press and hold with your finger to swing; the tile under your finger is the target. The shop cards are tappable, and the playfield scales to small screens.
