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.

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.

I can't get past level 11. Literally, there isn't enough gold on the screen to reach the goal. That's kind of frustrating. Otherwise, great game. Mad addictive.

Its was fun and very addictive but then i got real pissed off too at lvl 11. great reccommendation. Ur website is gonna make me lose my job

Reply

I got up to level 14. I cant get past that.

Many levels come up without much gold there. The trick is to "save up" so much $ from previous round to coast through the lean times. My hi-score is 40,000

Reply

yeah..theres not enoughgold on stage 11...its so frusterating..i love the game but there should atleast be enough gold!!!

Reply

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.

You all are so good gettin to stuff like level 100 and 21 and all that I can only get to level 14. Is there any codes or anything like that coz I just can't see how you all can get so far without a code or somthing like that.

Thank you!

You're very welcome, Lynda!

Cheers!

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)

this game is so addicting. but it is sooo fun

One sometimes key command is not in the instructions. If you accidentally fire off the crane before you intend to, hit the right arrow twice immediately after. If you do it soon enough, the crane will come back instead of shooting off screen, or worse into a barrel of tnt.

Reply

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.

i got past level 11...:]

I found a cheat for the game, it helped me to get to the higher levels

right click on the screen and choose "play"
It will change to a different layout, so you can cherry pick your favorites!

Reply

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.

Reply

O.k. do not mean to brag but I have reached level 205 and still going with a 50,000 lead. My question is, how many levels are in this game?! I just wanna win and be done.

Reply

omg this game is great. if i could i would play all day. how many levels? dont think i will ever get over 14.

Reply

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.

Reply

Level 11 is easy to pass. My record is level 29..
my strategy is to have at least 1000 more than i need at the end of each level.
Try that and i bet youll get further,
Diamond polish is a handy one to use too! =]

Reply

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

If by mistake you have dropped the claw in the wrong direction, immediately press the left or right arrow key, the claw will be pulled automatically

I got up to level 50 with a score of $140,000 last night. I was very happy. :o)

Reply

I'm at level 124 with $383,643 and the goal for that level is $323,645.
That's a difference of 59,998

I have saved a screenshot, but I don't know how to put it on here. Does this game end?

Reply

I got to lv 33 and i can safely say that this game is mostly luck -- the big tip is NEVER buy anything from the shop -- trust me :) but it takes lots of attempts and some lucky rund of diamond levels to get that far.. - a great addictive game -

Reply

Yeaaaaaah! I have reached level 250! Good luck everyone, its took me 6 months. OMG what a relief.
