About ORE Tycoon
ORE Tycoon is a tycoon game about running a mine, starting with a single mine marked Click Me. A conveyor belt runs from it to a gray furnace at the far end, and a cash counter at the top keeps score, with a world record figure just under it.
At first every ore comes from your own clicks. The cheapest purchase is a copper mine for 75 dollars, an automatic miner that digs without you. Ore upgraders, starting at 750, make each ore worth more, and the conveyor itself can be upgraded for 1K. Beyond copper there are many more kinds of ore to reach.
There's no save or load, so a mine lasts as long as the tab stays open. The art is flat and bright, with gray mountains, a big yellow sun and green grass, and music plays while you work. You can play ORE Tycoon free in your browser here, with a mouse or by touch.
How to Play ORE Tycoon
- Click or tap the mine marked Click Me to dig ore by hand.
- Buy a copper mine at 75 dollars so ore keeps coming without clicking.
- Add an ore upgrader at 750 dollars to make each ore worth more.
- Upgrade the conveyor belt for 1K once your income picks up.
- Move the camera with A and D, the arrow keys, or touch to look around your mine.
- Keep putting cash back into new mines and upgrades to grow your total.
What to Expect in ORE Tycoon
Like most tycoon games, it starts slow and speeds up. The first minutes are hands-on clicking, then the automatic mines take over and your job turns into choosing what to buy next. New ore types and upgraders push your income higher as you go.
It's a big Scratch project, built from more than 1,500 code blocks, with chunky pixel lettering and red buy buttons that show the price right beside them. Because nothing saves, the best way to play ORE Tycoon online is in one sitting with the tab left running.
Tips for ORE Tycoon
- Click fast at the start. Your hand is the only income until you own a copper mine, so the first 75 dollars is the slowest part.
- Buy the copper mine before anything else, since it keeps digging while you save for the next purchase.
- Get the ore upgrader early. It makes your ores worth more, so it pays back more the longer you play.
- Pan the camera now and then to check every part of your mine, not only the starting view.
- Keep the tab open between purchases. There's no save, so closing or reloading it starts you over at zero.
