Cold Miner

A roguelike with a twist: carve paths through the cave network with your pickaxe,  but the deeper you explore the caves, the colder you get. 

The world is a frozen wasteland. Coal is needed to keep your village warm and alive. Bring your trusty lantern heater along with you and manage your warmth and coal stores while exploring the frozen caves beneath the village. The only problem? Your lantern would surely go out if you were trying to hold it while swinging your pickaxe - set your lantern down to get to work, but don't stray too far.

Be on the lookout for dangerous creatures and ancient treasures, all while stockpiling as much coal as you can for your family back home.

Supports keyboard or joypad control.
