The objective of the incremental/mining/idle/clicker game known as "Mars Miner," in which players gain money by tapping on the surface of a planet in order to mine it, is to use that money to purchase upgrades. More than a dozen distinct enhancements are available for purchase with the money you earn. When one planet's resources have been successfully mined out, the subsequent world will become accessible.

There are more than 50 planets that you are able to visit, each of which has its own history, total health, and planet bonus. As you make further progress through the game, the health of each planet will gradually increase, which will make it increasingly difficult for you to win.
