More about this game
In Mountain Idle: Monster Miners, your goal is to destroy a falling asteroid before it wipes out your base. Tap the mountain to mine ore and earn starter cash, then hire monster workers to automate the process. Use your earnings to upgrade your crew, processing plant, and rocket defenses. The game ends in victory if your rockets destroy the asteroid in time, or in defeat if the timer runs out and the asteroid crashes.
Tips
- Focus on getting your first monster worker quickly for $12 to start automating your cash flow and freeing you to tap for extra income.
- Don't ignore the Meteor Defense tree; you need rocket upgrades to deal enough damage to the asteroid's 3800 health before the 180-second timer ends.
- Upgrade your processing plant's hopper capacity so your workers don't get stuck waiting in a queue to deposit their mined ore.
Questions
How do I get more workers?
You can hire more workers by purchasing upgrades in the Workers tree, starting with your First Monster for $12 and later unlocking the Tunnel Squad.
What happens when the timer runs out?
When the 180-second timer reaches zero, the asteroid crashes into your base, destroying your entire mining operation and ending the run in a fiery defeat.
How do I defeat the asteroid?
Purchase upgrades in the Meteor Defense tree. Your base will automatically fire rockets at the asteroid, dealing damage based on your fire rate and damage upgrades.
