Bob the Miner

What it does

BOB NEEDS YOU! Bob the Miner is a free browser match-3 game with a twist: matching gems fuses them into rarer ones - 3 stones become a Ruby, 2 Rubies fuse into an Emerald, all the way to Opals. Features: real fusion (not just points), a mascot who wanders the screen, earthquake power-ups, 1,000+ levels, a wardrobe to unlock for Bob, and a Google leaderboard. No download, no account needed - just open it in your browser.

Deep beneath the mountain, Bob has spent his whole life turning humble stones into dazzling gems — one careful match at a time. Legends speak of an Opal so bright it could light the entire mine... and Bob intends to find it. Will you help him dig? Dress Bob up, climb the leaderboard, and see how deep you canfrom bob-the-miner.vercel.app

  Speed Miners – A tiny RTS resource mini-gameJan 2026 · speedminers.fun · ▲49

  I've always loved RTS games and wanted to make a game similar for a long time. I thought I'd just try and build a mini / puzzle game around the resource gathering aspects of an RTS. Objective: You have a base at the center and you need to mine and "refine" all of the resources on the map in as short a time as possible. By default, the game will play automatically, but not optimally (moving and buying upgrades). You can disable that with the buttons. You can select drones and right click to move them to specific resources patches and buy upgrades as you earn upgrade points. I've…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
