Miner Builder

Bulldozing your way into a construction career sounds unlikely, but that's exactly the job in Miner Builder. You hop into a bulldozer, scoop up cubes, then swap over to a crane to stack them skyward - no hard hat required, just patience and a steady hand.

The whole point is height. You collect blocks with the bulldozer, haul them up with the crane, and watch your skyscraper climb toward being the tallest one around. Boarding either machine just means walking up and waiting for the gauge to fill, so there's no fiddly setup between the digging and the building.

It plays in portrait mode on your phone or desktop browser, and it's free with nothing to install. If you like games where a simple loop turns into something satisfying to watch grow, this one from the Simulation games shelf fits right in alongside Building Games and other Casual Games on the site.

Build the tallest skyscraper in the world by collecting blocks and stacking them ever higher.

Move around using the on-screen stick, WASD, or arrow keys. To operate a bulldozer or crane, walk up to it and wait for its gauge to fill before you're allowed to board - press the button shown on screen to hop back out when you're done.

Use the bulldozer to collect cubes first, then switch to the crane to lift and place them onto your growing tower. Keep an eye on the gauges so you're not standing around waiting when you could already be building.
