Star Digger

Star Digger is a space mining game where you pilot a ship through asteroid fields, drill valuable ore and sell it for crystals. Play free online and upgrade your rig.

Fly your spaceship with the arrow keys or WASD and steer up against an asteroid to begin drilling. Hold the drill in place until the rock breaks apart, then load the loose minerals into your trailers. Haul a full load back to the station to sell your ore for space crystals, and spend those crystals on stronger drills, faster engines and extra cargo capacity.

Star Digger nails the drill, haul and upgrade loop, turning a simple asteroid run into a surprisingly addictive little mining sim.
