About Gold Miner
Gold Miner strips the classic claw-machine fantasy down to one pure skill: timing. A claw hangs from a rig and swings back and forth on its own, and your only job is picking the exact instant to drop it. Whatever it touches first gets grabbed, and the reel-back speed depends entirely on what you caught, so a tiny diamond snaps home in a blink while a boulder crawls back and eats your clock. Every level hides a mix of quick cheap nuggets, rare rich ones, sparkling diamonds, unpredictable mystery bags, and TNT crates that punish a careless drop by wiping out everything nearby. The tactical moment that defines a run is watching a big vein swing past deep in the mine and deciding whether to gamble a slow, heavy pull on it with only seconds left, or bank a fast easy grab instead. Between rounds, spent earnings buy dynamite to blast a stuck item free, a strength drink for faster reeling, or a lucky clover for better bags. It's built for anyone who likes quick, greedy, one-more-try arcade sessions.

How to play Gold Miner
Watch the claw swing on its pendulum and tap or press space at the right moment to drop it along that angle. It grabs the first nugget, rock, diamond, mystery bag, or TNT crate it touches and reels back at a speed set by how heavy that item is. Bank enough cash to clear the level's target before the 60-second timer runs out, then spend your earnings in the shop before the next, tougher level begins.
Controls
Desktop: click or SPACE to drop the claw, D to use a dynamite stick mid-reel, M to mute. Touch: tap anywhere to drop the claw, tap the 🧨 button mid-reel to blast a stuck item free.
Tips & tricks
- Small gold and diamonds reel back almost instantly — grabbing several quick ones can out-earn one slow jackpot before time runs out.
- If the claw locks onto a huge rock, don't just wait it out: tap the dynamite button to blast it free and get your claw swinging again.
- TNT crates destroy anything nearby the instant you grab one, so treat a crate sitting next to good loot as a trap, not a target.
- Buy Strength Drink when you're close to a level target but running low on time — faster reeling turns marginal grabs into level-clearing ones.
