Pickaxe Tycoon ⛏️

Buy a pickaxe to begin mining in a volcanic underground setting, where dark rock walls and bright lava pools frame the work area. Ore collected from mining can be converted into money, providing funds for additional pickaxes.

New pickaxes can be merged to create better ones. The visual progression moves from a simple wooden-handled tool to a dark, ember-edged pickaxe and then a large green tool with a radiation-marked head; dollar-per-second figures distinguish their displayed earnings.

Use the earnings from improved tools to build a giant mining tower and work toward collecting every pickaxe. Bold, outlined tool designs, saturated lava colors, and red arrows emphasize the upgrade path.
