The game
What is Falling Pickaxe by Pixmove?
Pixmove files Falling Pickaxe under Instant in its catalogue. The English demo Rules call it a single-reel slot. The reel lands on a Cross or one of four pickaxes. If you get a pickaxe, the mining starts automatically.
This is an adult gambling game. The Rules we read describe neither aiming the tool nor cashing out during the fall. If you came looking for an idle mining app, check the same-name games below.
Mechanic
How the mining round works
Choose a stake and spin. A Cross gives you no pickaxe. With a tool in play, each ordinary hit takes one HP (one point of durability) off the tool and the block it hits. At zero HP the block breaks. Dirt and stone pay nothing on their own. Destroyed ore adds to the payout.
TNT clears nearby blocks. The Upgrade Arrow briefly makes the tool bigger, and the Workbench repairs and upgrades it. At zero tool HP, the game pays the accumulated award. For the full sequence, see How to Play. For HP and special effects, see the pickaxes and blocks reference.

Review: what stands out, and who may want to skip it
The interesting part to watch is what the tool breaks on the way down. A Workbench can repair and upgrade it in mid-fall. Depth by itself tells you little about the payout. The rules explain which events change the result.
In a standard spin, the reel picks the starting tool. If you’re looking for a game where you aim or decide when to cash out, start with the round structures in Similar Games.
This review is based on the rules, without scoring played rounds or testing a casino’s service or phone compatibility. To see the game in a browser without a separate app, use the official demo access guide. For operator-specific access, see Where to Play.
