Teaser: Mine Maniac on Meta Horizon Worlds mobile.

01 — THE PROBLEM

Build a game people check in on every day.

The goal was a fun, addictive gameplay loop rooted in a satisfying cycle of upgrading and progression: something players don’t just try once, but come back to regularly to squeeze every last drop of value out of their mine.

02 — THE BUILD

Three decisions behind the loop.

  1. A miner with a pickaxe and backpack beside teal crystal formations on an orange asteroid

    One deeply satisfying core mechanic

    Mine glowing ores, earn SpaceBucks, upgrade. The core action is easy to pick up and hard to put down.

  2. Gameplay with Sell, Buy, Tools and Quarry buttons, a coin counter and ore health bars

    Progression you can show off

    Tool and backpack upgrades, cosmetics and rare asteroids give players goals, and a leaderboard and shared space let them show off their setup to friends.

  3. A miner facing a red tentacled ore creature among crystals and yellow eggs

    Controlled chaos

    Wacky physics, unpredictable events and booming VFX and SFX keep every run feeling fresh, with a steady drip-feed of surprises.

03 — THE IMPACT
