About Hollowspire
Hollowspire is a laid-back mining clicker about digging straight down. Every click chips away at blocks of dirt and stone, and the goal is to reach the depths and find out what's hidden at the bottom.
Between digs you craft and spend on upgrades that make you a stronger digger, so a layer that took a while early on starts to crumble fast. Even the title screen plays along: you start Hollowspire by mining into a big hand-drawn block with grass on top.
This version is a short concept showcase made for the Ludum Dare 57 game jam, and a session takes a few minutes. You can play Hollowspire online in any modern browser, and a mouse is all it asks for.
How to Play Hollowspire
- Click the block on the title screen to mine your way into the game.
- Click to dig. Each click breaks into the dirt and stone in front of you.
- Craft whenever something new becomes available.
- Spend on upgrades that boost your digging abilities.
- Keep working down toward the depths, layer after layer.
- Open Option on the title screen first if you want to change settings.
What to Expect in Hollowspire
Hollowspire is a chill game built around one satisfying action. The first layers take real effort, then each upgrade makes the next stretch go quicker, and that steady speed-up is the whole pull of a good mining clicker.
The look is the other draw. Everything is sketched by hand in a cartoon style that's cute on the surface with a creepy streak underneath. Since you can play Hollowspire free in a browser tab and a run fits in a few minutes, it makes an easy pick for a short break.
Tips for Hollowspire
- Favor upgrades that make each click dig harder. Faster digging speeds up everything that comes after it.
- Craft as soon as you can instead of hoarding. Small gains early add up over a short run.
- Use a mouse rather than a trackpad if you have one. Hollowspire asks for a lot of clicks, and a mouse button is easier on your hand.
- Plan to play in one sitting. A run takes a few minutes, so it fits neatly into a coffee break.
- Click inside the game window first so the dig registers from your very first click.

FAQ
Is Hollowspire free?
Yes. Hollowspire is free to play on FunClicker in any modern browser, with no download and no account. Press play, mine into the block on the title screen and the dig starts right away. A run only takes a few minutes, so it's easy to try during a short break.
How do you play Hollowspire?
Click to dig. Each click breaks through blocks of dirt and stone, and the aim is to get as deep as you can. Along the way you craft and buy upgrades that strengthen your digging abilities, so each layer goes a little quicker than the one before. The mouse is all you need.
What is the goal of Hollowspire?
The goal is to dig all the way down, reach the depths and see what's waiting there. Getting there takes steady clicking, crafting and upgrading until your digging can handle the deepest layers. It's a short trip, but the speed-up from the surface to the bottom is the fun of it.
Who made Hollowspire?
Hollowspire was made by Simex and anstabo, who built it in Unity and released it on itch.io. FunClicker embeds their own web build of the game, and the Who Made section above links to the original so you can find more of their work.
Can I play Hollowspire on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works well, since the game only needs clicks, and a mouse or trackpad will do the job. A phone is less certain. The game is made for a desktop browser, so it may load on a phone but feel cramped or respond poorly to taps. A laptop or desktop is the safest choice.
Is Hollowspire unblocked at school?
Hollowspire unblocked access comes down to your school's network. The game needs only a browser tab, with nothing to install, but whether it opens is up to the network's filters, which we do not control. If FunClicker loads for you, the game usually will too.
Is Hollowspire a clicker or an idle game?
It's mostly a mining clicker. Your clicks do the digging, and upgrades make each one count for more. It also has the relaxed pace of an idle game, so there's no pressure to rush. You decide how fast to go and when to spend what you've earned.
How long does Hollowspire take?
A session takes a few minutes. Hollowspire is small and focused, built around one dig from the surface down, so it fits into a short break. Click inside the window, start mining and you'll know within a minute or two if the loop suits you.
