Thanks For Mining That

Let the enemies do the mining for you.

Thanks For Mining That is a game where you don't have to do the mining, the enemies will just do it for you!

Lure enemies into asteroids to break them apart, collect resources, unlock powerful new tools, and work your way toward creating the ultimate weapon: the Black Hole.

Note: Saving may not work well in certain browsers.

Gameplay

You begin each run with the Gravity Orb. Asteroids contain ores, but instead of mining them yourself, you'll lure enemies to smash into them.

Destroying enemies and asteroids rewards you with coins, which can be spent to unlock new tools between games. Each game you play, you'll get more coins and unlock more tools.

This is not a game where you won't die. Instead, you have to die. Each time you click play, you must die to go back to the main menu to unlock more tools. 

Your goal is simple:

• Get as many coins as possible each run with the help of tools
• Unlock every tool.
• Gather enough resources.
• Craft the Black Hole.
• Let the universe end

After completing a run, you'll see a stats screen including completion time, enemies destroyed, deaths, and more so you can try to beat your previous records. You can also see all-time stats too.

• Black Hole - Rapidly expands, consuming everything in its path including enemies and asteroids, before ending the universe to complete the run.

Enemies

Two enemy types will constantly go after you, and will also be your main mining tool:

• Fast Enemy - High speed, slower turning.
• Slow Enemy - Lower speed, quicker turning.

Win Condition

The Black Hole is the final objective of each run. Unlock every tool, collect enough resources to craft it during a run, then use it to end the universe.

Try to get better every run.

Can you finish faster with fewer deaths, or can you finish faster?

Good luck! Thanks for Mining That!
