About this game

Somewhere under your feet there is coal, iron, gold and a seam of obsidian nobody has touched. All you have is a pickaxe and a bad idea. Start swinging.

Dirt Empire is a pixel-art idle miner. Tap to break blocks, clear the layer, then
spend the haul on a mine that digs without you.

DIG DEEPER, FOREVER
Every layer you clear drops you into harder rock and richer ground: dirt, stone,
coal, iron, gold, obsidian, and gems hiding inside the blocks. Blocks get tougher the deeper you go, and every layer pays more than the last. There is no bottom.

THREE TRADES TO INVEST IN
- MINING — heavier swings, critical strikes, better gem luck, richer veins.
- ENERGY — an Auto Drill that works while you watch, a generator to push it
harder, and a battery bank so it runs longer without you.
- LOGISTICS — a refinery that pays more for real ore, a surveyor who turns plain
rock into something worth hauling, and a foreman whose crew has already broken a few blocks before you arrive.

THE DRILL DOESN'T CLOCK OUT
Hire the Night Shift and the mine keeps running after you close the game. Come back to a full report of everything it pulled up while you were gone.

CASH OUT AND GO AGAIN
When a run stops paying, sell the mine. You lose the layers and keep the shards, and every shard makes the next dig permanently faster. The second empire is always better than the first.

RUN MORE THAN ONE MINE
Keep up to four mines going at once, each its own world, each named whatever you want. Jump between them from a single screen — pick one up where you left it, or start a fresh dig without losing the others.

YOUR MINE, ANYWHERE
Sign in to Play Games and send any mine to the cloud — it comes off this device and follows your account instead, ready to pick back up on a new phone whenever you want. Bring it back down to local just as easily. Every save, local or cloud, quietly keeps a couple of backups of itself in case anything ever goes wrong.

BADGES AND DAILY PAY
Twelve achievements, each one a small permanent bonus. Show up every day for a growing streak bonus, and a shard every seventh day.

MADE TO BE LEFT ALONE
- No ads. Not one.
- Plays completely offline. Sign in to Play Games only if you want a mine backed up to your profile and carried to a new phone — entirely optional.
- Chunky pixel art, four classic tracks, one hand, one thumb, portrait only.
- Optional purchases if you want a shortcut. Nothing is behind a wall.

Grab the pick.
Tap, dig, upgrade. A pixel-art idle miner that keeps digging while you're away.

What’s new

Fixed a bug where the LAYER counter didn't advance for progress made by the Excavation
Crew while the game was in the background - your depth now catches up correctly when
you come back.
