Mine, smelt, upgrade and repeat in an incremental mining game where every swing makes you stronger.

Rock Bottom is an incremental mining game. You swing a pickaxe through procedurally generated caves, collect ore and hidden treasure, and head deeper each run. Raw ore goes into a smelter and comes out as bars, and those resources pay for a big skill tree of permanent upgrades. Nothing you buy is lost when a run ends, so every trip down is stronger than the one before. The game has 8 layers to dig through, starting with the overgrown Sunken Canopy, and each one is harder and pays better. Along the way you unlock powerful abilities, and the question driving it all is what sits at the very bottom. The full game came out on Steam in July 2026 from Logan Games, after a demo. It's a good match for anyone who likes mining games where the gains stick around and each run goes a bit deeper than the last.
