Deep in the galleries, the ore will not move itself. You move it with pressure. Drag a charge to any spot on the mine floor, let go, and the detonation shoves every ore chunk nearby straight away from the point of impact. Nothing is pulled, nothing is lifted — everything is pushed, and the line it travels is the line you drew when you chose where to place the charge. Every gallery has a chute, and every gallery has marked chunks that belong in it. Your job is to work out the angles. Stand a charge behind a chunk and it slides towards the opening. Place it slightly off-centre and the chunk drifts wide. Catch two chunks in one blast and they fan apart, which is sometimes exactly what you wanted and sometimes the reason you have to think again. The floor rewards players who look before they tap. The pressure comes from the charge budget. It shrinks as you progress, so later galleries will not forgive a wasted detonation. A single well-judged blast that clears three chunks at once is worth more than four tidy ones, and realising that is most of the game. You will often find yourself hovering over a spot, picturing the knockback, and shifting a few metres to one side before releasing. The mine fights back with its own geometry. Stone pillars absorb the shove entirely, so a chunk sitting behind one simply will not budge until you find another approach — or use the pillar deliberately, blasting from the far side so the chunk rebounds the way you need. Voids open along the edges and swallow any chunk that overshoots, which turns a careless angle into a lost gallery. And scattered through the floor are fragile crystals that shatter if a blast lands too close, so some charges have to be placed further out than feels comfortable, trading force for safety. Thirteen galleries carry you from open floors with room to experiment into cramped chambers where pillars, voids and crystals crowd the same few square metres. The early levels teach you how far a chunk travels. The later ones ask you to chain that knowledge together: shove one chunk to clear a path, then use the space you have just made for a second blast that sends the rest of the batch down the chute in one go. It is a quiet, deliberate sort of puzzle game. There is no rush and no timer — just a floor plan, a handful of charges, and the satisfying thud of ore dropping into the chute when your angle was right. Think it through, place the charge, and watch the mine clear itself.
