Gold Miner

How to Play Gold Miner

In Gold Miner, each level follows a similar format, but the difficulty increases as you progress. You play as a miner, stationed at the top of the screen with a crane and hook, aiming to grab valuable items below. Your targets include gold nuggets, diamonds, animals holding diamonds, bags of money, and more. However, there are also less valuable objects made of non-precious metals. These can either be avoided or strategically collected, as they are mostly time-wasters with minimal worth.

Not All That Shines Is Gold

While gold is the primary focus, not all gold chunks are equally valuable. Some larger pieces can be worth $500 or more, while others of the same size might be worth significantly less. To reach your monetary target, you\'ll need to collect as much as possible. When in doubt, aim for diamonds—it\'s hard to go wrong with these precious gems.

Each Level Has A Monetary Target

At the start of each round, you’ll be given a monetary goal to reach. In the first level, the target is $650 worth of precious items. This is relatively easy to achieve, but as you advance, the required amount increases, making each level progressively harder. Precision and skill will be crucial to meeting your goal in later rounds.

The Shop Between Levels

After completing each level, you\'ll visit a shop where you can purchase helpful items to assist in the next round. Prices vary, and sometimes a higher price could indicate that an item will be especially useful for the next level. On the other hand, the shopkeeper might also try to overcharge you for unnecessary items.

Money earned in previous levels carries over to the next round, so if you\'re doing well financially, consider splurging on some of the more expensive items to boost your performance. These can significantly enhance your chances of success.

Some of the available items include:

• Rock Collector\'s Book: Rocks become three times more valuable for one level.
• Lucky Clover: Increases the chances of obtaining valuable items from grab bags for one level.
• Strength Drink: Provides the miner with extra strength to pull up objects more effectively.
• Dynamite: After grabbing an item, use the up key to throw dynamite and destroy it.
• Diamond Polish: Increases the value of diamonds for the next round.

Be careful—this game can be quite addictive!
