Mars Miner

You control a small mining ship on the Martian surface. Using the arrow keys, you move left and right, fire a downward beam to dig through the soil, and use an upward thrust to keep from falling. Your goal is to drill deep, collecting valuable ore and avoiding hazards like unstable rock and rising lava. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets, and you have to manage your fuel and hull integrity carefully. It creates a tense, methodical pace where every descent feels like a calculated risk. The game feels like a quiet, focused race against your own limitations.
