About This Game

Dig by day, fight by night in this blend of mining and Tower Defense. As the last Spotter at a ruined gas station, hold back mutant hordes, scavenge the wasteland, and repair your receiver to capture the President’s vital message and humanity’s last hope.

Detailed Description

You’re a Spotter the unlucky soul stationed at the worst gas station in Nevada. Your mission: hold the line against mutant hordes spilling from the ruins of Las Veganos, while awaiting a message from the President himself. But when a colossal sandstorm wrecks the base and ruins your only receiver, you lose your one chance of contact. Now everything hinges on repairing it in time. Dig by day, fight by night, and reclaim the signal before the world’s last hope is lost.

Descend into a mine to scavenge for resources, discover roguelike artifacts that rewrite the rules, and turn your rusty junkyard into an impenetrable fortress in this unique hybrid of digging simulator and Tower Defense.

DIG

Daylight is your best friend. Fatigue is your worst enemy. The underground is your salvation. Descend into the ground to haul out life-saving resources. Upgrade your rusty shovel into a planet-cracking drill, supercharge your jetpack, and enhance your character and gadgets to brave the post-apocalyptic world. Every expedition is a race against time and a test of your own greed. Spoiler: greed almost always wins.

DEFEND

Night is when the bill comes due. Hordes of glowing mutants think your gas station is the hottest party spot in town, and you’re the only one not on the guest list. Show them that your door policy is VERY strict. Set up automated machine guns, laser cannons, and rocket launchers. Erect barriers, lay down traps and mines. And when the night hits its climax—jump behind the main turret yourself and personally turn the tide of battle. This is your gas station. Don't let it fall.

EVOLVE

Turn rusty scrap into instruments of vengeance. An upgrade tech tree allows you to carve out your own unique playstyle. Will you be a Hunter, picking off mutants with a precise Railgun shot? A Suppressor, holding back the horde with a continuous beam from a Tesla Cannon? Or an Artillerist, turning the battlefield into a fiery hell with a Cluster Grenade Launcher? Every run is a new strategy. The choice is yours.

EXPLORE & BREAK THE RULES

Sometimes the universe decides you’ve suffered enough and throws you a unique artifact. Each discovery changes your gameplay, offering a powerful ability in classic roguelike fashion. Add slowing projectiles to your turrets, gain the ability to call in a controllable kamikaze drone, or install a power shield over your base. No two runs will ever be the same.

FEATURES

  • Two games in one: Meditative digging by day, adrenaline-fueled Tower Defense by night.

  • Deep progression: Evolve through three independent tech trees (Character, Turret, Base) and choose one of three weapon specializations.

  • You’re the Heart of the Defense: Don't just build—take personal control of the most powerful turret and change the outcome of the fight.

  • Story-driven goal: Your mission isn't just to survive, but to repair the main receiver and finally hear the President’s message that could decide the fate of all survivors.

Miner by day. Defender by night.
Will you live to see the sunrise?
