Gold Miner Game Series

Gold Miner is an addictive flash game series that has you mining for gold using just a claw and reel to unearth valuable treasures in a race against the clock. Each level provides a dollar value goal that must be met within the time limit to move on to the next. Using just the [down] arrow on the keyboard, press the key to stop the claw from swinging and send it down to latch onto the first item it encounters. Gold nuggets, ranging in size from pebbles to boulders, yield values commensurate with their size. Rocks and larger gold nuggets require more time to reel in, with rocks being worth a tiny fraction of gold. Items can be bought with earnings to spice up the game.

Gold Miner 4

Clear each level of gold before time runs out to move up Gold Valley and earn your dollars for more points. Use the left and right cursor keys to move the cart and swing the rope. When the rope is aimed at a chunk of gold, press down to fire the rope, then use both up and down to reel it in whilst avoiding rocks.
