I posted this in a comment below but figured I’d do it here for clarity as well.

how the game works:

🛢️ Oil

  • Every dig costs oil — you’ll see the cost on the left.
  • The deeper you go, the more oil each dig costs.
  • What does oil do? It protects your drill from damage.
  • If you have 0 oil, you take 1 unavoidable drill damage each dig.

⛏️ Pickaxes

  • Pickaxes are used to break blocks.
  • If your pickaxe power ≥ block toughness, you take no damage (unless you’re out of oil).
  • If your pickaxe power is lower than the block toughness, wrenches can cover the missing amount!

🔧 Wrenches

  • Think of wrenches as temporary shields.
  • If you’re short on pickaxe power, wrenches prevent damage (as long as you still have at least 1 oil).
  • No oil = you still take the unavoidable 1 damage.

💎 Gems

  • Gems give extra resources on top of what the block normally provides. Sparkly bonuses! ✨

🚫 Drill Denied

  • This shows up when you don’t have any pickaxes available.

🎰 Jackpots

Jackpots always clear the block and give special bonuses:

  • 🛢️ Oil Jackpot: The dig costs no oil
  • 💎 Gem Jackpot: 2× gems from that dig
  • ⛏️ Pickaxe Jackpot: +1 pickaxe power on your next dig
  • 🔧 Wrench Jackpot: +1 drill HP (heals your drill)
