Start Small. Become Unstoppable

Mine or Burn is an incremental bullet hell roguelite where every run transforms a fragile mining ship into an asteroid-shredding powerhouse.

Harvest resources, stack powerful upgrades, and unlock ship systems that mine, gather, and defend on their own. Survive against increasingly dangerous threats, build momentum, discover powerful combinations, and watch your ship snowball from a struggling miner into a mining juggernaut.

Mine. Upgrade. Survive. Repeat

Every run starts small. A basic mining laser becomes a devastating mining tool, and a handful of upgrades becomes a powerful build. Increase your mining power, unlock ship systems that boost your efficiency, and strengthen your defenses, combining them into builds that scale throughout each run.

Every run makes your ship stronger, even the failed ones. Choose your upgrades carefully, create powerful combinations, and discover how far your mining ship can go.

Three Modes. One Goal: Become Overpowered

Three distinct game modes offer different ways to play, each rewarding experimentation, powerful upgrade combinations, and building a stronger mining ship with every run.

• Time-Based Roguelite Mode. Race through dangerous sectors in an incremental bullet hell experience. Mine asteroids, unlock and upgrade weapons, battle rival mining ships, weave through escalating enemy fire, take down sector bosses, and build branching, run-defining upgrades as threats continue to intensify.

• Asteroid Buster Mode. Smash apart asteroid fields with precision cursor mining while your numbers climb fast, upgrades stack, and small gains compound into serious mining power.

• Survival Mode. No timer. Stay alive, gather fuel, and decide when you're ready to jump to the next star system.

Push Deeper Into the Unknown

Explore branching star systems filled with opportunities and danger. Choose your path, discover valuable resources, unlock powerful improvements, and push further with every run.

Failure is part of the process. Every run feeds your permanent upgrade tree, so even a lost ship isn't a lost run. Chase better upgrades, discover stronger combinations, and see how far your next attempt can go.
