Manic Miner

Manic Miner is a game about digging down into procedurally generated mines as quickly as possible, while making sure not to run out of air. There's no going back up, so you might as well go deeper.

Gameplay

Move the player right, left, and down to try to get as deep as you can before running out of air. Collect air bubbles as you descend to gain precious extra seconds to help you beat your previous high scores. You can't go back up, so grab air while you can. Rounds are fast-paced, and difficulty increases the deeper you go. I intentionally kept the block types to a minimum so the player could focus on collecting air and moving quickly.

Changelog

- [2020/05/02] Fixed the high score system. Previously it was always setting your last score as the new high score, but now it checks against the old high score before doing that.
- [2020/04/26] Fixed an issue where air might not spawn for a long time. Now if air hasn't spawned in a while it force spawns one.
