Gold Miner is one of those simple-but-weirdly-addicting games where you're just a dude with a claw, trying to snag gold and gems from a mine. At first, it feels easy—just drop the hook and grab whatever shiny thing you see. But then you realize the big rocks take forever to pull up, and suddenly you're sweating because the timer's running out and you still need 50 more gold to pass the level.

You earn cash to upgrade your gear, like a longer rope or stronger claw, which helps when you're digging deeper for those fat diamond payouts. The power-ups are clutch—dynamite clears the whole screen, and that strength potion turns you into a mining beast for a few seconds. Just don't get greedy going after worthless rocks, or you'll end up broke and frustrated.

It's the kind of game where you tell yourself "one more level" and then it's suddenly 2 AM.
