How deep does the earth truly go, and what glittering secrets lie beneath our feet? Hole Digger isn't just a game; it's a primal call to adventure, inviting you to grab your trusty spade and journey into the unknown depths where fortune awaits the boldest prospector. Forget the surface world—this addictive digging sim challenges you to push the limits of exploration, where every meter downward brings new challenges and exponentially greater rewards.
In Hole Digger, you take on the role of a tenacious subterranean explorer, driven by the lure of precious minerals and rare geological finds. The core gameplay loop is simple yet profoundly satisfying: dig, gather, sell, and upgrade. Using intuitive controls, you navigate the increasingly complex subterranean landscape, left-clicking to chip away at the earth and exposing veins of valuable loot. Once your inventory is full, return to the surface (or your mobile garage) to cash in your finds. This vital revenue stream funds permanent improvements—new tools, enhanced skills, and critical mobility upgrades—that allow you to survive the pressures of deeper, more lucrative territories.
This is the perfect title for players who thrive on satisfying, incremental progress and the constant pursuit of optimization. If you enjoy the meditative rhythm of mining combined with the strategic decisions of resource management and permanent upgrades, Hole Digger will quickly consume your hours. It’s an ideal blend of simple mechanics and deep, long-term goals, rewarding persistence and smart investment with the continuous thrill of striking it rich.
Jump into the dirt, feel the grind, and carve out your legend!

Welcome, Analyst. This is not a guide for the casual player or the weekend warrior. This is the tactical blueprint for players who intend to dominate the leaderboards of Hole Digger. The core system of this game is not simply about depth; it's about Resource Efficiency and Exponential Scaling. The scoring engine is a function of time versus acquired value, where every upgrade must immediately lead to an accelerated rate of acquisition. Our goal is to reverse-engineer the perfect upgrade path and movement economy to minimize "dead time" and maximize the exponential return on investment (ROI). The deeper you go, the more valuable the loot, but the time cost of movement (up and down) and digging must be radically offset by tool and ability upgrades. True mastery lies in the Garage.
These habits are non-negotiable efficiencies that must be integrated into your muscle memory from the first second of every run. They are the bedrock of high-score consistency.
The true differentiator between a good player and an elite one is the tactical management of the money-to-efficiency loop. These strategies exploit the game's scaling mechanics.
Advanced Tactic: The "Jetpack Rush"
Advanced Tactic: The "Deep Vein Tunneling"
Most players think that Inventory Capacity is the best early-game skill upgrade. They are wrong. The true secret to breaking the high-score barrier is to do the opposite: Ignore Inventory Capacity until the spade and jetpack are fully upgraded, or near-fully upgraded.
Here's why this works: The time cost of traveling up and down is fixed. If your inventory is small, you make more frequent trips. While this seems inefficient, it forces you to make smaller, faster sales, allowing you to hit the crucial Breakpoints for your Spade Power and Jetpack sooner.
A player with a small inventory but a fully upgraded spade and jetpack will acquire resources and travel 10x faster than a player with a huge inventory and a weak spade. The increased speed of acquisition and travel more than compensates for the frequent trips. Once your movement and digging tools are maximized, then you invest heavily in Inventory Capacity to convert the already-optimized system into a high-capacity resource vacuum. Speed creates money; capacity only stores it.
Go deep. Go fast. Optimize the loop. The leaderboards are waiting.

The maximum depth is currently unknown and is part of the game's mystery! The deeper you go, the more challenging the terrain becomes, but the more valuable and rare the materials you can find. Keep upgrading your tools and skills to reach new, deeper milestones.

To fly, you must first acquire the Jetpack upgrade from the garage. Once you have it, double-press the Spacebar quickly and hold it down to activate the jetpack and fly. Remember, the jetpack has a limited fuel supply that recharges when you are on the ground.

Materials are primarily used for three things: 1. Selling: Materials are your main source of income (money). Sell them at the garage to earn cash. 2. Upgrades: Some advanced tools and structures require specific, rare materials in addition to money for crafting and upgrading. 3. Quests/Achievements: Certain in-game goals may require you to collect a specific quantity of a material.

You can sell your collected materials and purchase upgrades (tools, skills, jetpack, etc.) in the Garage. To access the garage, surface from the hole and move your character to the designated area (usually marked with an icon or sign). Press E to interact and open the shop interface.

If you die (e.g., from falling debris or running out of air, depending on future updates), you will respawn instantly back at the surface (the Garage). You do not lose your inventory, but you might lose a small amount of time. Upgrading your health and resistance skills can help you survive longer in the deeper, more dangerous zones.

The best way to earn money quickly is to focus on depth and efficiency. 1. Prioritize Tool Upgrades: A better pickaxe allows you to dig through blocks faster, increasing your resource collection rate. 2. Sell High-Value Ores: Once you unlock deeper zones, focus on mining and selling the rarer, more valuable green and purple ores. 3. Skill Investment: Invest in skills that improve your carrying capacity or reduce your oxygen consumption so you can stay underground longer per trip.

Honestly, a rock-solid clicker/management hybrid. The progression feels earned, and the upgrade paths are surprisingly varied. My one complaint is the resource scaling in the mid-game—it gets a little slow around the 500m depth mark, but the jetpack makes up for it. Devs, maybe a small buff to the core drill rate? Still, highly recommended.
The mechanics are tight, but the real meta is optimizing the resource sell-rate vs. upgrade cost. I’ve been grinding the leaderboards and managed to hit the top 10 yesterday. My biggest wish? Give us a more detailed stats breakdown, like 'Cubic Meters Dug Per Hour.' Need that data to push the score higher! Awesome game.
Super addictive! Started playing during my lunch break and now I'm thinking about digging during meetings, lol. Controls are simple and the feeling of striking a huge vein of gold is so satisfying. Perfect fun, minimal brainpower needed. A true time-killer.
As someone who has played every clicker/digger since Motherload, this is a very strong showing for an iframe game. It nails the core loop: dig, sell, upgrade. The movement feels polished, especially with the spacebar jump. Only minor critique: the music loop is a bit repetitive after an hour. Otherwise, easily one of the best in the genre this year.
OMG, I am so hooked! I downloaded this on a whim and now I can't stop. I just unlocked the jetpack and it completely changed the game. Never played a digging game before, but the sense of progress and getting deeper is incredibly satisfying. Tell my boss I'm busy digging, not working! Five stars!
Great balance between active digging and passive grinding. The strategic element of when to invest in speed vs. capacity is well-thought-out. It’s an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master loop. My only real issue is the hitbox on some of the rarer gems; sometimes I miss the left-click even when I'm right on top of them. A little polish there, and it’s a perfect 5.
