You Can't Drink Gold

Game premise and mechanics

You Can't Drink Gold is an active incremental mining roguelite for PC. In the game, you dig for gems and treasures while managing a water bill that arrives every five days. Instead of manually clicking to dig, you use left-click for the shovel and right-click for the pickaxe. The tools operate automatically in a rhythmic fashion based on your cursor's position, allowing you to drill down or carve wide without wrist strain.

Digging and resource management

As you dig deeper, you'll encounter a variety of rocks, each becoming stranger and potentially hazardous. Uncovering items like gunpowder can lead to explosions, creating craters in your excavation site. The depth determines the quality of resources and rewards you find, with rarer ores and chests located in the depths. Your water supply limits each day, so managing your resources is crucial as the water bill grows increasingly demanding.
