Put on your explorer's helmet, adjust your launch angles, and get ready to watch the riches pour in! In Pickochet, you'll enjoy an ingenious and addictive incremental mining game where your main tool will be picks that bounce nonstop across the screen.
Forget about chipping away at rock slowly and manually; here, the picks act like frantic projectiles that automatically extract the ore when they collide with the walls of the mine. Your main mission in this demo will be to explore 2 of the 6 total mining locations, purchase strategic upgrades, unlock special abilities, and discover valuable metal veins. Let physics work for you!
The gameplay of this vibrant title stands out for its uniquely satisfying and visually chaotic incremental progression loop. The game starts with basic equipment, but as your picks accumulate materials, you’ll gain access to deep, mineral- and tool-specific upgrade trees. You’ll be able to unlock extra picks that appear unexpectedly during gameplay to flood the screen with impacts, as well as equip active and passive skills that will alter the performance of your excavations. The key to success in Pickochet lies in balancing your investments, optimizing the value of each mined stone against the speed and quantity of your bouncing tools!
At the start of the game, improving the value of individual minerals seems like a good idea, but in an incremental game based on impacts, volume is king. Focus on unlocking the appearance of extra picks in the evolution tree. Having multiple tools bouncing at the same time will exponentially multiply your revenue per second.
