How to Play Falling Pickaxe
Everything you need to know about the block-breaking mechanics, special power-ups, and winning strategies in Pixmove's mining slot.
Game Basics
Falling Pickaxe by Pixmove is a single-reel instant win game. Instead of matching symbols on paylines, you spin to receive a pickaxe that falls through a grid of blocks. Each block destroyed may add to your win. The round ends when the pickaxe runs out of HP.
RTP is 95%, volatility is low, and the maximum win is x160 your bet.
Spinning for a Pickaxe
The top reel shows four pickaxe types (Wooden, Stone, Iron, Diamond) plus a Cross symbol. Landing a pickaxe starts the drop phase. Landing a Cross means no round – but after 7 consecutive Crosses, the 8th spin is guaranteed to give you a pickaxe.
The Drop Phase
Once you have a pickaxe, it falls through the block grid, breaking blocks one at a time. Each hit reduces the pickaxe's HP. Valuable blocks like Gold, Diamond, and Emerald pay multipliers relative to your bet.
Special Blocks
Three special block types change the course of a round:
- TNT – explodes on destruction, clearing all blocks in a radius.
- Upgrade Arrow – enlarges the pickaxe 1.5× for 3 seconds; stacks up to 2.5×.
- Workbench – fully repairs HP and upgrades to the next pickaxe tier.
Auto Spin & Bonus Buy
Use Auto to spin multiple rounds automatically. Bonus Buy lets you skip the reel and start a round directly with a pickaxe of your choice – ideal if you want action without waiting for a natural drop.
