About Pickochet
Pickochet is a short, incremental mining game where players click to break ore and earn money. The first pickaxe is provided for free, letting new players start mining immediately.
As you accumulate cash you can upgrade pickaxes, equip up to three abilities, and travel to new mining sites that contain unique ores. Automation options let pickaxes ricochet between ore, reducing the need for constant clicking.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mining Basics
The core loop of Pickochet revolves around clicking ore to break it and earn money. Each click generates cash that can be spent on upgrades or new locations. The game tracks earnings and progress through simple statistics.
Money earned is the primary resource for advancement. Money earned from mining is the resource highlighted for purchases in the game's description.
- Observe how quickly your cash accumulates to gauge when an upgrade becomes affordable.
- Compare the earnings per click before and after equipping abilities to see their impact.

Pickaxe Automation
Automation is offered through pickaxes that ricochet and bounce between ore, reducing the need for manual clicking. This feature is described as a way to “automate the mining experience.”
The first pickaxe is provided at no cost, giving players a starting tool without spending cash. No further details on automation levels are given.
- Try the free pickaxe first before spending cash on upgrades.
- Notice how automation changes the rhythm of play compared to manual clicking.

Abilities System
Players can equip up to three active or passive abilities at a time. Abilities are intended to increase mining speed or power, providing a boost beyond the basic pickaxe.
The description does not list specific abilities, only that they can be equipped and that they enhance mining performance.
- Mix active and passive abilities to see which combination yields the highest earnings per second.
- Swap abilities when you unlock new ones to compare their effectiveness.

Upgrade & Unlocks
Cash can be spent to upgrade pickaxes, unlock new ore types, and acquire additional abilities. Upgrades are presented as a way to boost mining profits.
The game mentions unlocking new ore, pickaxes, and abilities, but does not detail the cost structure or progression milestones.
- Prioritize upgrades that directly increase ore value.
- Track which upgrades give the biggest profit jump and focus on those first.
05 / THE GUIDE
Mining Sites
Multiple mining locations become available as you progress. Each site contains unique ores, encouraging travel between them to diversify earnings.
Travel between sites is described as “unlock and travel,” implying that new sites must be unlocked before travel.
- Visit each new site to compare ore values and decide where to focus your clicks.
- Note how ore types differ across sites to plan future upgrades.
