❓ Controls & Help

• Arrows / WASD — drive & dig  •  Hold Up / W — jet to climb
• SPACE — toggle the drill  •  F — enter a building at the surface
• B — 🧨 dynamite (blast a 3×3)  •  E — 🛗 elevator
• 💎 Bonus Pot — ore mined deep grows a multiplied pot; reach the surface to bank it — die and it's lost!
• 🔥 Grab ore in quick succession to build a combo that pumps the multiplier higher
• ✨ Geodes are rare crystal rocks — drill one open for a random prize (ore, cash, gear… or a JACKPOT)
• 🛒 Shop crafts drills/cargo/hull from ore & sells dynamite, warps & beacons
• 🛗 Install an elevator underground with E (pricier the deeper); stand in its shaft & press F to call & ride it
• ⬆ Back-to-surface costs a warp charge — buy more at the store
• ⛏️ Your drill bit wears out & the lamp battery drains — both refill free at base; upgrade for more
• 📡 Buy the Pothole Sensor to detect hidden potholes (red glow — don't drill in!)
• 💧 Flooded chambers have dripstone (it can fall!) and rich ore around their edges
• 📦 A full cargo bay flies heavier — the jet climbs slower when you're loaded
