Mine or Burn puts you in charge of an asteroid mining enterprise that grows from modest pickaxe work into a sprawling automated operation. You'll unlock permanent upgrades across runs, optimize your setup against procedural star systems, and decide when to cash out your gains or risk pushing deeper for better rewards. It's built for players who want meaningful progression decisions layered over the satisfying cycle of incremental resource gathering.
About this game
Start with a small mining setup and scale into a fully automated asteroid-breaking operation. Invest in permanent upgrades, optimize your build, and push deeper through branching star systems in this active incremental roguelite.
Developer UpdateMine or Burn is expanding beyond its core asteroid-breaking gameplay with new bullet hell and survival modes. This update introduces new ways to play, along with relics, survival improvements, and continued development of the original experience.Incremental Bullet HellA brand-new way to play.Freely pilot your ship through dangerous sectors, mine asteroids, battle enemy ships, and dodge waves of incoming fire.Every run culminates in a major boss encounter that transforms the entire sector into a battle for survival. Defeat the boss to advance to the next sector, where tougher enemies and greater rewards await.RelicsRelics are hidden inside special asteroids and can dramatically change how a run unfolds.Some provide powerful bonuses paired with meaningful drawbacks. For example, one relic greatly increases resources while reducing the time available in a sector.More relics are planned, creating new possibilities and run-defining decisions.Asteroid BreakerThe original Nodebuster style mode remains a core part of Mine or Burn.Your ship stays anchored as you break apart asteroids, collect resources, and prepare for each sector’s boss encounter. Between runs, you unlock upgrades that make future attempts stronger and more efficient.Survival ModeSurvival mode offers a more open-ended challenge.Collect enough fuel to jump between sectors while surviving increasingly dangerous threats. Upgrade your ship between jumps and see how far your build can carry you.What's Next?More relicsMore enemiesMore bossesThese updates bring Mine or Burn closer to its full vision, and there's still much more to come.If the game looks interesting, consider wishlisting it on Steam to follow development and future updates.
Mine or Burn is an active incremental roguelite where you mine asteroids to collect fuel and alloy. Fuel lets you hyperjump to a new star system before enemies can locate your sector and take your resources.You can upgrade your mining operation, your ship, and its defences. The faster you mine and the stronger your ship becomes, the better your chances of escaping to the next sector. If pursuers catch up, battles play out automatically, and the results depend on the choices you’ve made in your upgrades.The game takes place across branching star systems. You choose sectors with rewards or modifiers that change how your environment behaves, and each jump shapes the challenges ahead. As you move deeper, more fuel is required to jump, so keeping up with upgrades is essential to stay ahead of escalating threats.Every decision from mining asteroids to upgrading your ship to picking your route contributes to a steady sense of progress and growth.Sign Up for PlaytestingSign up to playtest Mine or Burn (on store page) and help shape the game before it launches.
