Gold Miner
Gold Miner is a cute and addictive little Flash game that has you mining for gold using just a claw and reel to unearth valuable treasures in a race against the clock. Each level provides a dollar value goal that must be met within the time limit to move on to the next. It's a well produced game with cute, appealing graphics and sound effects.

The good people who came up with this have some spin-offs that are even better. Goldminer deluxe, if you are good, can go on forever. But "Easter Egger," which has a final level (an end) looks like the quintessential for this platform, the perfect challenge and much more complex game play. "Valentiner," on the other hand, is a challenge that is way too hard on later levels.
Took nearly all day because I kept leaving it for hours and coming back...
Gold Miner Tips:
-
Buy strength at any price
-
Don't buy TNT if you already have 5 (the limit)
-
Buy Luck and TNT at $100 or less.
-
You can grab pigs w/ diamonds off-screen.
-
When you use TNT, it clears diamond and gold in the area of the blast.
-
Usually go after grab bags first to get strength if you couldn't buy it.
-
Don't stop grabbing things even if the gold, bags and diamonds are already gone.
-
When time is going to run out, grab anything you can.
-
It takes 12 seconds to slow haul a $500 nugget from the bottom, if you don't have that much time left, don't try the grab it.

Wow i'm so addicted. I've been playing for almost 3 days straight. I can't eat I can't sleep. Its taking over my life muahahahah!!!!! I'm losing it. I think that I got to about level 25. Margaret chan said she beat it at 100, but jlseagull said he got to level 147. So which is it? I really wish there was an end because if not i might just keep playing forever and ever and ever and that would not be good.
Somebody let me know a'ight!!!!!!!!!
Found your site a few days ago and have been playing tons of games ever since (I love the point and click mysteries, although they can be frustrating). I love Gold Miner. I can't get very far, mind you, but it's fun and easy. Thanks for the site Jay! Keep up the great work at finding all these little gems for us! You Rock! (pun intended)
Gold miner is the most alsome game I have ever played in my life. I got to the 90th level yesterday. I played it for 10 hours yesterday. I got in so much trouble for it to but I got the 2nd highest score to. I was on cloud 9 almost cloud 10 but not quite. I am about to get in trouble buy................!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buy
You all can't get passed level 11?
I'm on level 53 as of now, and it gets a little time consuming.
When does this game end? I just want to beat it.
Heres a screen shot.

It is fun, for being so repetitive and simple-ish. I've played several similar games like this, only they were about fishing instead, so I was eager to try this. Too bad klobster's cheat no longer works, though. I suppose this game is kind of luck based and doesn't end, just gets harder and harder to impossibility.
I lost on level 137...yes level 137 at around 350,000 dollars, I played it enough to where I knew where the diamond level were and bought the diamond polish before hand which makes the diamonds worth $900, and I had a consistent 10,000 dollar lead on the mandatory amount every level and I just started sucking and it caught up to me, if you play it enough its not that hard...dont buy anything except dynamite and diamond polish.
My tips for playing:
- only buy TNT if its under $50
- only buy strength if its under $200.
- for level one and seven, get the big, $500 chunks FIRST, and then the smaller ones.
- make sure you have over $10,035 before level 8, otherwise, you probably won't pass level 11. Get the diamonds first.
I can consistantly get over $100,000 every time I play, and I only quit because its boring after a while. I've gotten $200,000+ a couple times, but it does get boring.
It helps if you're $3,000 over your mandatory goal by the end of the round, so you are already ahead for the next round.
Have Been Playing Gold miner for some time,
I can't tell you in cash wize how much I make because I never really look at that.
But I do Know for sure I have been up to Level 24,
Of course, I do wonder how many levels there are to this game. But it is fun and time consuming to play.
Very adicting. For a person like me who is not into playing games, it is addicting . LOL
