⛏️ AFK Miner

AFK Miner is a free, browser-based idle incremental mining game where you manage a pixel miner, collect ores and crystals, upgrade gear, and dig endlessly in search of rare core crystals hidden deep underground — all while carefully managing your miner’s energy.

⚠️ If your miner runs out of energy, all progress is lost.

⛏️ How long can you keep your miner going?

Built for fans of idle games, incremental mechanics, and cozy pixel art, AFK Miner is designed to run while you work, study, or relax — and even continues progress after you close the browser.

⛏️ Gameplay Features

  • Idle Mining – Your miner automatically digs and gathers resources over time.

  • AFK-Friendly – The game runs in the background and continues progress when the browser is closed.

  • Upgrades & Gear – Improve your miner’s speed, energy efficiency, and luck.

  • Lightweight & Accessible – No downloads required. Just open in a tab and check in anytime.

  • Torch Events – A new system replacing click-spamming with engaging streak-based bonuses.

  • Background Music – Chill, ambient music to enhance your mining sessions.

nice game 

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve made some updates—if you have time, I’d love for you to try it out.

Not right now I have school I hope I don't forget

I bought the necklace that costs 5 silver and 2 gold and it spent all of my silver and gold coins on it before throwing an error that I don't have enough coins. Seems like the cost gets paid several times for a single purchase and having excess coins will drain them.

That’s not fun to hear. Did you not receive the item? I think that message is displayed after u actually purchase the item.

Working on a update that I will upload once the game jam is over. Thanks for playing and feedback.

I did get the item but I had 10 silver and 4 gold in inventory and it spent all of the coins on one purchase. (I got only one item)

I’ve made some updates—if you have time, I’d love for you to try it out.
