Mine or Burn is an active incremental roguelite where you mine asteroids to collect fuel and alloy. Fuel lets you hyperjump to a new star system before enemies can locate your sector and take your resources.

You can upgrade your mining operation, your ship, and its defences. The faster you mine and the stronger your ship becomes, the better your chances of escaping to the next sector. If pursuers catch up, battles play out automatically, and the results depend on the choices you’ve made in your upgrades.

The game takes place across branching star systems. You choose sectors with rewards or modifiers that change how your environment behaves, and each jump shapes the challenges ahead. As you move deeper, more fuel is required to jump, so keeping up with upgrades is essential to stay ahead of escalating threats.

Every decision from mining asteroids to upgrading your ship to picking your route contributes to a steady sense of progress and growth.
