Gold Miner

How to Play Gold Miner

Gold Miner is a game where each level follows a similar structure, but the difficulty increases as you progress. In this game, you play as a gold miner who uses a crane and hook to capture valuable items. Your main targets include gold nuggets, diamonds, animals carrying diamonds, bags of money, and other precious objects. However, there are also non-precious items like rocks and metal scraps, which serve as obstacles. You\'ll need to avoid or strategically collect these, as they offer little value but can waste time.

Not Everything That Shines is Valuable

While most shining items are indeed gold, not all gold chunks are equally valuable. Some large pieces can be worth $500 or more, but others of similar size may be much less valuable. To reach your target, aim to collect as many valuable items as possible. When in doubt, focus on collecting diamonds, as they are almost always a safe bet.

Every Level Has a Financial Target

Each level requires you to meet a specific monetary target. For example, in the first level, you need to collect $650 worth of gold and gems. While this is relatively easy at first, the monetary goal increases as you advance through the levels, demanding more skill and strategic planning to succeed.

The Shop Between Levels

After completing each level, you’ll visit a shop where a shopkeeper offers various items to help you in the next stage. Prices vary, and sometimes higher prices indicate that you might need the item for the upcoming level, while other times the shopkeeper may be trying to overcharge you.

Your earnings carry over from one level to the next, so if you have extra money or are close to meeting your next level\'s target, consider purchasing some expensive items. They might help boost your earnings significantly.

Some of the available shop items include:

• Rock Collector’s Book: Rocks will be worth three times their normal value for one level.
• Lucky Clover: This increases your chances of getting valuable items from grab bags during the next level.
• Strength Drink: Boosts the miner\'s strength, making it easier to pull up heavier objects.
• Dynamite: Once you’ve grabbed an item, press the up key to drop dynamite on it and blow it up.
• Diamond Polish: This item increases the value of diamonds in the next level.

Be warned—this game can be quite addictive!
