Alien Miner is an alien mining game where players control a cute alien creature on a mission to mine rare resources on distant planets. The player starts on the planet's surface, controlling an alien creature that falls from a UFO to the ground. The main goal is to dig deep into the ground, breaking blocks of land to search for minerals (blue and yellow gems). When creatures touch mineral pellets, they will be collected and displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. Avoid or attempt to break hard gray rock blocks, as they can obstruct the excavation path. The control system is simple, be it touching to dig down or swiping to move in different directions.
