Free browser game

A pixel mining RPG with real progression, bosses, and craftable gear.

Drilling RPG is a top-down browser mining RPG where the player digs through hostile underground circles, gathers ore, crafts specialized gear, and fights bosses that guard the path to deeper content.

This publisher site documents the playable game, its systems, current update state, and player support information so the project is understandable even before the game canvas is loaded.

What You Do In The Game

The playable loop is built around resource collection, equipment milestones, monster pressure, and boss gates.

Mine by depth and circle

Every circle has its own background stratum, mineral set, monster table, and boss gate. The current public build focuses on C2 through C4 so players can follow a readable progression path.

Craft gear from local resources

Drills raise mining power, helmets and armor improve survival, and boots add movement and defense. Each equipment tier is made from the ores found in its circle.

Collect permanent effects

Bosses and monsters drop essence and relic items that stack over time. These effects support power, health, luck, and the next circle defense breakpoints.

Play in the browser

The game runs in a web browser with a React HUD and PixiJS rendering pipeline. Saves are stored locally in the browser so short sessions can still build progress.

Player Guide Summary

These are the core systems players should understand before entering the game.

Mining and depth

The HUD tracks Survey X and Depth. X marks the horizontal survey coordinate while Depth marks how far the player has descended. Deeper strata introduce stronger ores and more dangerous encounters.

Crafting route

Early Lust ores build Crimson gear. Gluttony ores build Void gear. Greed ores build Crown gear. The best route is to craft the local drill first, then add defensive pieces when monsters begin to threaten the run.

Boss progression

Bosses appear near the lower section of their circle. Defeating a boss records circle progress, grants essence and relic rewards, and prepares the player for the next defense breakpoint.

Saving

The game autosaves browser-local progress. Inventory, equipment ownership, boss encounters, waypoints, and effect stacks are restored on the same browser profile.

What is the main goal?

Mine enough resources to craft the next equipment tier, survive the local monsters, defeat the circle boss, and push deeper into the next set of strata.
