How to play Gem Miner Idle Clicker
Gem Miner is an idle clicker, sometimes called an incremental game. You start by tapping a gem to collect one gem at a time. Gems buy upgrades, upgrades produce more gems, and the numbers climb faster and faster.
There are two kinds of upgrades. Stronger Pickaxe increases how many gems each tap is worth. The other items are helpers, from an Apprentice Miner up to a Star Forge, that produce gems every second without any tapping. Every time you buy the same helper its price rises by about 15 percent, so it pays to spread your spending across several kinds rather than stacking only one.
Once you have mined a million gems in a single run you can collect Star Shards and restart from zero. Each shard gives a permanent 10 percent boost to everything, so the next run is quicker. Progress saves automatically every few seconds, and miners keep working while the page is closed: when you return you are credited for up to eight hours of production.
A simple plan works well. Buy a few miners early, upgrade the pickaxe when it is cheap, and check back every so often. Large numbers are shortened to K, M, B and so on. There are no ads inside the game and no purchases.
Frequently asked questions
Does the game keep running when I close the tab?
Not in real time, but when you come back the game works out what your helpers produced while you were away, up to eight hours’ worth.
What are Star Shards?
They are a reward for restarting after mining at least one million gems. Each shard permanently increases all gem income by 10 percent.
How do I reset my progress?
Press Erase save at the bottom of the game. This cannot be undone.
