The run
You drag a single mining circle. Every rock it covers takes a hit, and a hard rock takes more than one. Nothing else is asked of your hands.

Start a run against the clock. Drag one mining circle across a board of rock. Come back up with ingots, and spend them before the next vein opens.

Move the pointer across the rock
One vein, one run
There is no campaign to grind and no session to leave running. A vein is a few minutes long, and it ends when the clock does.
The vein
Each vein is a board generated on the spot, and the further down the numbers go, the rarer what sits in it. No two runs hand you the same rock.
Between runs
Ingots buy skills, pickaxes and artifacts. Fossils come out of the rock on their own — and they are the only place a unique pickaxe ever comes from.
Ten ores, ten currencies
There is no smelting step: one rock mined is one ingot of the ore it held. Each ore is its own currency, so what you can afford says exactly where you have been digging.

In the rock
Portrait, one thumb, no menus in the way.
A run, mid-vein. 
The camp, between two descents. 
The dig — where the seven unique pickaxes come from.
Nothing to buy, now or later
Pickaxe Legends is free. It shows no ads, sells nothing inside itself, and asks for no account. It is one person's game, and this is the whole of it.
