About this game

Build a squad of pickaxes, merge them into legendary tools and smash your way through a blocky mine full of ore, gems and TNT! Pickaxe Rush is a satisfying mining runner you play with one thumb, and it works offline.

⛏️ RUN, MINE, MERGE
Your miner runs deeper into the mine while a squad of pickaxes orbits him. Every block in range gets mined automatically: swing after swing, crit after crit, with huge damage numbers and showers of coins. Drag to steer. Dodge the walls you can't break yet and go for the rich ore when your squad is strong.

✨ MERGE & EVOLVE
Two pickaxes of the same tier merge into a stronger one, and every tier hits more than twice as hard. Climb from Wooden, Stone and Copper all the way to Diamond, Magma, Void, Celestial and the rainbow Prismatic pickaxe. Collect all 20 pickaxes in 5 rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic.

🚪 PICK THE RIGHT GATE
x2 or -3? More attack or more speed? Steer through gates to multiply your squad, power up your damage or heal. Mystery gates reveal random high-tier pickaxes!

💥 SMASH, BLAST, DIG
Break walls of gold, ruby, sapphire, emerald and diamond ore. Hit a TNT block and watch the chain reaction blow the whole wall apart. Dodge sliding blocks before they crash into you.

👑 BOSS BLOCKS: FREE THE MINER!
At the end of every level a giant boss block holds a trapped miner. Break it before the timer runs out, or it blows up! Elite bosses guard the track, and every zone ends with a huge Zone Boss.

🗺️ 180+ LEVELS IN 3 WORLDS
Dig from The Old Mine through the Gem Caverns down to the Crystal Depths: 18 zones, each with its own blocks, walls and bosses. Earn up to 3 stars per level, open star chests and finish every zone with a Treasure Run that gives you a permanent reward.

⬆️ UPGRADE YOUR SQUAD
Spend your coins on more pickaxes, higher tiers, attack, speed, health and your own Hand Pick: tap a block to strike it yourself! Grow from a handful of wooden picks to an army of Mythic tools.

🎯 BONUS MODE: PICKAXE TOSS
Pull back, aim and throw! Land pickaxes on the field, merge them on impact or knock them around like billiard balls.
