📋 Instructions

Drifting Miner is a 2D top-down mining game about piloting a mining ship through space to gather things using the mouse and keyboard. To control the direction of the ship, move your cursor around and the front of the ship will follow it. To thrust forward, press the W key and the Spacebar can be used to turn on the magnetic beam to carry certain objects. The goal is to collect all the objects in an area and then leave through the portal. If your ship gets destroyed, you'll be sent back to the start of the level, and running out of fuel will require you to spend resources to refill it.

After some training, you'll be taken to the level select map screen. From there, you can spend your coins on new ships with different stats or on upgrading the drill to make it faster and more efficient. You can then click on whichever levels are unlocked with more unlocking as you progress. When you're in the level, you'll be looking for items like coins, rocks with ore in them, and batteries. To mine rock, you need to steer the ship into the rock which will prompt the drill to pop out and start destroying it. To finish the level, you need to carry the battery over to the power station and then leave through the activated portal. You'll need to be wary of hazards like pirate traps which will destroy the ship on contact. Depending on how much you collect and how fast you finish the level, you'll get between one and three stars.
