How to play

Make at least the level's money goal before time runs out. Money over the goal helps with the next one. Clear all twenty levels to finish the game.

Move the cart: tap (or click) above the ground where you want Goldie to go. On a keyboard, use the left and right arrows.
Drop the claw: tap below the ground when the swinging claw points at something you want, or press the down arrow. On a phone, hold your finger down to see an aim line, then lift to drop.
Throw a bomb: if the claw grabs a rock or junk, tap again (or press the up arrow) to blow it up and save time. Bombs are limited.
Big things are heavy: a huge nugget pulls up slowly. Milk makes Goldie stronger for the next level; gas makes the cart faster.
The gear in the top-right corner pauses the game and holds the sound and music settings and the help.

Goldie the Gold Miner guide

What everything underground is worth, what bombs do, who gets in the way and what the Trading Post sells. Every figure comes from the game itself.

What everything is worth

Heavy finds reel in slowly, and Goldie can only lift the heaviest after drinking milk.

Find	Worth	Pull
Small gold	$50	Light
Gold	$200	Heavy
Big gold	$500	Heavy
Huge gold	$1,200	Too heavy without milk
Diamond	$800	Light
Coal	$40	Medium
Rocks	$10 to $20	Medium to heavy
Big rock	$25	Too heavy without milk
Rock with gold inside	$20, or $500 if you bomb it	Heavy
Junk	$0	Light
Bag of bombs	4 or 6 bombs	Medium
Milk	Pull harder this level	Light
Gas	A faster cart this level	Light

Bombs

You start with 10 bombs, and the ones you don’t use carry on to the next level.
Bomb whatever the claw is holding to get rid of it and reel back fast.
Bomb coal in the claw and half the time it turns into a $1,000 diamond.
A rock with gold inside looks like a $20 rock. Bomb it and it becomes $500 of gold.
A blast in the ground turns coal into an $800 diamond half the time, and a rock with gold inside into $500 of gold.
A bag of bombs changes every bomb you hold: plain ones blast all around, vertical ones up and down, horizontal ones sideways, and cherry bombs make a small blast that spares what’s nearby.
Blowing up an ordinary rock ($10 to $25) sends 2 more seconds to the clock one time in three.

Who’s down there

The Old Mine has none of them. They live in world 2, the Dwarf Caverns.

Who	What they do	What to do
Green dwarf	Eats diamonds and coal	Bomb him and he drops a diamond
Red dwarf	Throws bombs at the cart: −$50 if one hits	Grab him for a free bomb
Blue gremlin	Costs $100 if you reel him in	Leave him, or bomb him and he runs off

The Trading Post

After you pass a level, only the money you made over its goal can buy these. What you spend comes off your score, and each dollar makes the next goal 40 cents harder.

Item	Price	What it does
4 bombs	$120	Blast all around
4 vertical bombs	$160	Blast up and down
4 horizontal bombs	$160	Blast a line sideways
6 cherry bombs	$140	Spare what’s nearby
Milk	$100	Pull harder next level
Gas	$80	A faster cart next level

Goals, stars and bonuses

Money carries over the whole game. Finish a level over its goal and 60% of the extra goes onto the next goal; the other 40% is a head start.
Gold nuggets: 1 for making the goal, 2 for 30% over what the level asked, 3 for 70% over.
Gold streak: reel in gold or diamonds one after another, and the third pays $50 more, the fourth $75, and every one after that $100. Gold from a bombed rock and diamonds from coal count too. Grabbing anything else ends the streak (an empty claw doesn’t), and it starts again each level.
One more grab: if time runs out when you’re short of the goal by no more than 15% of what the level asked, the clock gets 5 more seconds, once a level.
Levels last 60 to 75 seconds on the clock; the first two last 75.
Daily Dig: one 60-second dig a day, the same for every player. Tries are free, your best counts, and it keeps your days in a row. In the Daily Dig a foe can’t take your money below $0, and there’s no one more grab.
