Lodedrop: Mine Shaft Descent
Run across rising rock ledges, dive deeper into the mine and grab every nugget.
Somewhere at the bottom of the Old Marrow Lode lies Grandpa's lost nugget. Strap on your lamp helmet, step onto the first ledge and start the long drop down the shaft. The rock keeps rising, the ceiling is lined with sharp stalactites, and the only way out is down.
How To Play
- Hold the left or right half of the screen to run along a ledge.
- Step off the edge to drop onto the next ledge below. The ledges slowly climb toward the spiked ceiling, so keep moving.
- Collect gold coins and rare nuggets, and avoid everything that bites: the stalactite ceiling, spiked ledges, cracked ledges that crumble under your boots and rocks that start falling deeper in the shaft.
Every hit costs one helmet. Lose all helmets or fall off the bottom of the screen and the descent ends. Your score is the depth you reached, in meters.

Progression
Gold you bring back stays in your pocket. Spend it in the Gear shop: an extra helmet lets you take one more hit, the Lamp magnet pulls gold from further away and Grip boots make you run faster. Better gear means deeper descents, and deeper descents mean more gold.
