Quarries of Scred is essentially, a simplistic Arcade style game - the goal is to acquire credits through the acquisition of valuable resources, while avoiding gravity-induced peril. Players must be aware of their surroundings as they dig deeper into the underground - a misplaced laser blast could cue a landslide. Precious gems can be squished by falling objects, and each move should be well thought.

Through the use of a seed, each game is generated dynamically - though there is also a new, standardised seed each day over which players can compete to have the highest score.
