Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom is an incremental mining game about descending through eight layers of caves in search of ore and treasure. Each layer offers new resources and challenges as you push farther underground.

On each expedition, swing your pickaxe to break rock and collect ore, then return to the base to smelt what you gathered into bars. The caves are procedurally generated, and mining runs build toward unlocking access to deeper areas.

Spend resources on pickaxe improvements and a skill tree of permanent upgrades. These strengthen your mining and unlock effects such as lightning and explosions, letting each successive expedition break through the caves more quickly.

Players often enjoy the steady upgrade loop and the way mining grows from deliberate pickaxe swings into rapid, powerful destruction. Reviews also praise the game as a relaxing, easygoing short experience, with its pixel art and music adding to the appeal. Some players, however, find the areas repetitive and the overall adventure too brief, with less to do after reaching the end.
