🎮 Basic Controls

Once you click to start, your claw will continuously swing back and forth like a pendulum. When the claw is perfectly aligned with a piece of treasure, click the screen to launch it straight down. If it hits an item, it grabs it and reels it in. If it misses, it will retract once it hits the edge of the screen. - Claw Mechanics: You can only fire the claw again after it has fully returned to the top. The speed at which it reels in depends on the weight of the object grabbed—heavier items take painfully long to reel in! - Time Attack: The clock starts ticking immediately. You must clear out all the loot in the mine as quickly as humanly possible.

💎 Treasures & Trash

The mine isn't just full of riches; it's littered with junk, too. If you accidentally hook a piece of trash, you have no choice but to wait for the claw to slowly reel it all the way in before you can try again. - Treasures: Gold nuggets and gems are your primary targets. Gold comes in different sizes; while giant gold blocks are easy targets, they are incredibly heavy and slow to pull up. Gems (like diamonds and rubies) are tiny but extremely lightweight, meaning they reel in lightning-fast! - Trash: Rocks, bones, and glass bottles are worthless junk. Rocks come in different sizes, and all trash severely slows down your reel-in speed—taking even longer than a small piece of gold!

💪 Power-Ups

You can occasionally fish up randomly spawning "Strength" power-ups from the mine. These are stored in your inventory. You can hold a maximum of 2 at a time. Activating this power-up instantly doubles the reeling speed of your claw for your next grab!

⌨️ Game Controls

Mouse Click: Click to fire the claw and use power-ups.

Are there levels? Do I need to beat the game?

This version utilizes a "single-round speedrun" mode, meaning there are no traditional progressing levels. Your goal in every match is to completely empty the mine of all treasures in the absolute shortest time possible to beat your own record!

How can I clear the board faster?

Prioritize grabbing lightweight, high-value targets (like gems) to keep a fast rhythm. Use your speed power-ups on giant gold chunks, and whatever you do, DO NOT grab the heavy rocks! Strategy + Reflexes = Fast Clears.

How do power-ups work?

"Speed Power-Ups" will randomly spawn in the mine for you to grab. You can store up to 2 of them. Click the power-up icon to use it, which will double your claw's reeling speed. This is crucial for pulling up giant gold blocks without wasting precious seconds!
