Delve into the mine and try to get your hands on the precious ores hidden in the depths of the neverending pit to repay your debt from the overworld!

With your trusty pulley, pickaxe and musket even the angered creatures of the deep won't have a chance to stand between you and your riches!

....is what you tell yourself at least.

Collect ore with your pulley, sell it to the shop, slay aggressive monsters, improve your chances of wealth and upgrade your gear in this action-management adventure!

_This entire game and every 3D-asset, 2D-art, sound effect and animation you see and hear (with exception of the music) has been custom made from scratch in the last 72 hours for this jam!_

As per ususal with downloadable games, Windows might classify the file as "not save" due to its unknown origin, which is normal and nothing to be worried about.
