Gold Miner — free browser game

The miner sits at the top of the screen and the claw swings back and forth like a pendulum. Your only job is to time it right and launch the claw onto the loot buried in the dirt: press Space, Enter, the Down arrow, tap the screen, or use the 'Fire the Claw' button. The claw extends in a straight line; if it touches an object it grabs and reels it up, otherwise it bounces off the edge and returns empty. Key detail: the pull speed depends on the object's weight — small gold and diamonds come up fast, while large nuggets and rocks crawl up slowly and eat precious seconds. Values differ: small gold 60, medium 130, large nugget 320, diamond 650, the '$' bag is random (20–600), and rock is a near-worthless trap (12). Each level you must collect the Goal cash shown at the top within 60 seconds; reach it and you advance to the next, higher-goal level, but if time expires before the goal the run ends and your highest level reached is saved in the browser. Strategy: grab the fast, valuable diamonds and small gold first, attempt the big nugget only if you have time to spare, and avoid the rocks. Wait until the claw lines up exactly with your target — firing early wastes the throw and you have to wait for it to return.
