About One Million Coins
One Million Coins is a short, first‑person incremental game where you start with empty hands inside a vault that holds exactly one million coins. You collect coins, bring them to a deposit station, and turn them into spendable funds for upgrades.
The game features a 250‑plus node skill tree, expanding carry capacity, and the ability to restore vault infrastructure as you dig deeper. Most players can clear the vault in about two hours while playing at their own pace.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay Loop
You begin by scooping coins from the massive pile with your bare hands and carrying them to a deposit station. Depositing converts the coins into funds that can be spent on equipment and skill upgrades, creating a repeatable loop of collection, deposit, and improvement.
Each upgrade makes the next haul faster, larger, or more efficient, reinforcing the incremental progression. The loop continues until the vault’s one million coins are exhausted, providing a clear end goal for the short experience.
- Observe how many trips each upgrade saves before committing funds.
- Compare the time taken for a haul before and after a deposit‑rate upgrade.

250+ Node Skill Tree
The game offers a skill tree with over 250 nodes spread across seven upgrade paths. Nodes improve movement, reach, collection speed, tool strength, capacity, and deposit rate, letting you shape a personal excavation build.
Spending earned funds on these nodes tailors your progression. By selecting nodes that match your current needs—such as capacity early on or speed later—you can optimize the incremental gains from each upgrade.
- Plan a balanced path that boosts both speed and capacity for smoother progression.
- Note which nodes affect reach versus tool power to decide where to invest next.

Equipment Upgrades
Upgrades include pouches, backpacks, and later high‑powered tools that pull in larger waves of coins. Each piece expands how much you can carry and how quickly you can collect, directly influencing haul efficiency.
Equipment upgrades work hand‑in‑hand with skill‑tree nodes, allowing you to handle larger loads as you progress deeper into the vault and restore more infrastructure.
- Upgrade bags before tools if you find yourself making many trips.
- Test new equipment on a small pile first to gauge its efficiency.

Vault Exploration
The vault is a finite space containing exactly one million coins. As you collect, you can also restore deposit stations, cargo lifts, conveyors, and other infrastructure, expanding the functional layout of the bunker.
Exploring deeper is tied to your upgrades; improved tools and skills let you reach further into the underground area at your own pace, gradually emptying the vault.
- Prioritize restoring deposit stations to reduce travel time between hauls.
- Observe how each infrastructure upgrade changes overall haul efficiency.

Progression and Save
The game is single‑player with save‑anytime functionality, allowing you to pause and resume without losing progress. Steam Cloud support keeps your save data synchronized across sessions.
Steam Achievements, Leaderboards, and Family Sharing are available, but they do not affect core gameplay. The design encourages a focused, self‑paced experience.
- Save before attempting a large haul to avoid losing time if you need a break.
- Check leaderboards after finishing to see how your total time compares.
