The loop

One loop.
Endless nights.

Every trip underground pays for the next upgrade, and every upgrade lets you dig deeper. Then the sun goes down.

01MINE

Every ore pays.

Swing a pickaxe through stone and caves. Coal and copper near the surface, gold, ruby and crystal far below. Better picks reach richer veins.

02SELL

Cash out at the Uplink.

Open the shop anywhere and turn your haul into coins. Smelt ore into ingots at a furnace first and it sells for nearly double.

03ARM UP

Spend it on firepower.

Pistols, shotguns, a scoped rifle, a mining laser that cuts through rock and a rocket launcher that reshapes it. Plus armor, medkits and blast charges.

Night falls. Things crawl out.

Crawlers, brutes, skitters, bone archers and blastcaps hunt in the dark. Light your tunnels, build a door, and keep your shotgun loaded.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Orefront runs in your browser. Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari works, as long as WebGL is on, which it is on almost every computer made in the last ten years.

How does the free hour work?

Create a free account and press play. The hour only counts down while the game is open on your screen; close the tab and it pauses. When it runs out, you can unlock the full game for $5.

Is the $5 a subscription?

No. It's a single payment that unlocks Orefront on your account for good. There are no ads and nothing else to buy.

Where are my worlds saved?

In your browser, on the device you play on, and the game saves automatically. Clearing this site's data in your browser deletes them, so leave it alone if you want to keep your worlds.

What are the controls?

WASD to move, the mouse to look, left-click to mine and shoot, right-click to place and use. Tab opens your inventory, B opens the shop and Enter opens chat for commands like /home. Gamepads and touch screens work too.

I paid, but the game is still locked.

Refresh the play page; it can take a few seconds for the payment to arrive. If it's still locked after a minute, email support@ore-front.com from the address on your account and we'll sort it out.
