North Depths by voidsrc
In North Depths, you are the manager of a secret government project — a boring one, though. You've been assigned to create a deep mining shaft because scientists believe there's a lot of gold buried far underground. Grab a good mouse and get ready to click-dig into the depths!
The original Compo version contains a critical bug that affects early progression. Please check the Itch or Newgrounds links for the fixed version. Thank you for playing and rating!

Love the art and music though. Great effort!
@spectra Yep, haha, this game is currently pretty rough on your mouse. I’ll push a fix soon with a new balance. I don’t want to break anyone’s LMB;)
@k1n Thank you!
Huuge thumbs up!
@max-sanch Forgot to disable my debug keys, can you find X-Ray key?:)
@hope42morrow Thanks, friend! Can't wait to try your game.
Woah, its grindy! Very nice visual style - pixel, smooth, accurate, i like it.
Good job! ^_^
One level is digged in about 2 seconds (including ore). Cool game :)

Great game!
I know clicker is pretty established thing, but I think I would've enjoyed the early game more if the core gameplay was something along the lines of minesweeper. Could've still matched the theme and story well.
As others have said, the art and music are fantastic, and they work really well together.
@a0405u Thank you, my friend! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. :)
Unfortunately I didn't complete the game, after running the game for a while, page will reload due take too many memory. Maybe my mac is too old. Hope can support save game progress in the future.
Anyway, good job!
