Into the Slimy Mines is a roguelike tower defense. Working for Ironkilt Intergalactic Industries is not easy, especially when you crash your mining vessel and lose all of your crew on a slime infested moon!

Rescue your crew and return your ore filled cargo before the Boss hands over the Stout Hammer to a more competent dwarf. Buy cards and booster packs, expand your tunnels, find crazy combos and squish those frackin’ slimes. Dig, build defend – and get off this B&*@!n Moon!

Key Features

• DIG TO VICTORY: Rescue your crew from six unique mining locations each with five increasingly difficult depths. Drag Dig cards to excavate new tunnels toward your missing crewmates.
• GROUNDBREAKING PLAYSTYLES: There are three unique factions to choose from ANVIL, WARHAMMER & PICKAXE. Pick and customise your Drill Rig to match your play style and the location’s hazards.
• WEAPONS OF MASS CONSTRUCTION: Why not collect more than just your crew along the way? Drills can unearth ore for bursts of money, lures distract your slimy foes and generators keep your whole rig running the deeper you delve.
• BUILD TO LAST: Upgrade your kit by placing another of the same card on top of them. Level 1 Cannon + Level 1 Cannon = Level 2 Cannon, the maths checks out!
• SLIME AFTER SLIME: Defend your rig from the incoming waves of slimes. Blast them away with turrets or slow them down with displacers and blockades.
• DWARF IN DISTRESS: Need a little extra help? Gadget cards slow or blast groups of slimes and repair your buildings, mid-wave.
