Stonebreakers

About the game

Grab a weapon, break every rock you can find, and turn the loot into gear that makes you break them even faster. Every rebirth makes you permanently stronger — the ladder never ends.

How to Play

1. Pick a weapon. You start with nothing. Walk into one of the weapons floating in the starting room to equip it. You can only carry ONE at a time:

• Gun — fast, reliable ranged damage.
• Bow — quicker shots, faster projectiles.
• Sword & Shield — fights up close, but the shield gives you extra health.
• Ancient Staff — slow, heavy arcane bolts.
• Bone — raises skeleton minions that fight for you while you walk away.

1. Break rocks. Your weapon fires automatically at the nearest rock in range — just get close and let it work. Every rock drops a coin (it flies to you on its own) and gives EXP equal to its health. Rocks get tougher the deeper you go, and rare and epic ones pay far more.

2. Level up. Filling the purple EXP bar levels you up, giving permanent +2 damage and +5 max health for this life. Higher levels also unlock better shops.

3. Spend your gold. Walk into a floating item on a shop stand to buy it — no menus, no buttons. Items stack, and their effects are wild: extra damage, exploding crits, lightning that chains between rocks, life-steal, ghost blades, double shots, and more. Your collection is listed in the bottom-right corner.

4. Open the world. Some stands sell keys. Carry keys near a door or a chest and they fly out of you automatically — doors slide open to new areas, chests pop and drop a random upgrade.

5. Rebirth. From level 7 (then 10, 13, and so on) the Rebirth button goes live. Rebirthing resets your level, weapon and items — but you keep ONE item of your choice permanently, forever, and gain +8 permanent damage that survives every future reset. Each run gets faster than the last.

Tips

• Attacks are automatic, so positioning is everything. Stand where the most rocks are in range and keep moving between them instead of waiting on one.
• Follow the golden arrow. It always points at what to do next — the rock field you should be farming, or a shop you can finally afford.
• Buy the cheap stat pads early. Attack speed and damage pay for themselves in minutes; saving for a big item while under-geared just slows you down.
• Rocks scale x4 per tier, and gold scales with them. A field that feels slow means you're under-geared, not unlucky — go spend your gold, then come back.
• Chase the rare and epic rocks (the ones with the glowing marching outline) — same effort per hit, far more gold.
• Don't rebirth the second it unlocks. Push a few levels past the requirement first, since you keep only one item — make it a good one.
• Ranged weapons out-range trouble; the sword out-lives it. Pick based on how close you like to fight, and remember you can swap any time by walking into a new weapon.
