Coin Digger

About Coin Digger

Coin Digger is a 2D pixel incremental game where each run has you sweeping a cursor across a table piled high with coins, sending everything you collect bouncing down a Plinko board. The loop is tight and satisfying: dig wide across each layer, cash out when the timer ends, then spend your haul on an upgrade tree that stretches from the Copper Age all the way to the Prism Age.

The coin table runs deep. Copper sits at the top, followed by silver and gold, then platinum, mithril, voidsteel, starmetal, and prismatic coins — each layer a richer metal that demands more power to crack. Holes narrow as you go down, so wide sweeps beat narrow drilling. Scattered through the table are gems, clock coins that add seconds to the run, and clover coins that trigger a Gold Rush doubling your coin value. Clear every coin before time expires and the leftover seconds convert into a Clean Sweep bonus. Once the timer ends, your bag pours into the Plinko board, where coins bounce off pegs into multiplier cups.

The upgrade tree is enormous. Abilities range from Chain Lightning, Ignite, Toxic Touch, Frostbite, Bomb Coins, Drill Strike, Black Hole, and Laser Turret to Auto-Cursors, with dedicated Plinko upgrades including Gold Pegs, Bumpers, and Fever. Save up for the Founder's Coin to reach the grand finale, then continue in endless mode.

How to Play Coin Digger

Each run is governed by a short timer. The cursor strikes coins automatically as it passes over them, and every broken coin flies into the bag in the corner. A coin only becomes reachable once the coins resting on top of it are cleared, so progress downward comes from clearing wide rather than drilling one narrow shaft. When the timer ends, the bag is cashed out — through the Plinko board once the Plinko Machine is unlocked — and the money goes into the upgrade tree before the next run begins.

Tips

• Keep the cursor moving across the top layer; a single deep hole closes in on itself quickly.
• Take Long Shift early, as a longer run is the biggest income boost at the start.
• Clock coins add seconds to the run, and clover coins start a Gold Rush that doubles your coins.
• Clear every coin before time runs out so the leftover seconds convert into a Clean Sweep bonus.

Games You Might Like

If the Plinko cashout is your favorite part of Coin Digger, Antfall: Ant Swarm Idle runs every foraged haul through its own Plinko anthill board before feeding a deep upgrade tree. For more pixel incremental coin-cracking, Coin Cracker has you splitting falling coins from Copper and Silver up through Starmetal and Prismatic, with super coins like Shiny, Gem, and Rush variants to chase. The digging-through-layers progression in Coin Digger also echoes Obby: Dig to the Center of the Earth, where each deeper layer demands stronger upgrades to break through. For a different flavor of incremental collecting with a big upgrade tree and rebirth bonuses, Button Bonanza offers chests, daily goals, and a permanent collection score to chase.
