Pickochet

The release date for Pickochet is July 22, 2026, on PC. Developed by kron and drunken goat, this title presents a physics-based twist on the incremental mining genre where progression relies on ricocheting tools rather than just manual clicks.

You manage a growing collection of pickaxes that bounce between ore deposits to generate passive income. The loop focuses on balancing three active or passive ability slots and traveling between distinct mining sites to find higher-tier materials. Unlike long-form idle games, this is designed as a shorter experience centered on optimizing the ricochet automation and upgrading your gear to clear screens faster. It strips away complex narrative layers to focus entirely on the satisfying visual of high-speed bouncing tools and resource accumulation.

Ideal for fans of idle games who want a clear end goal and physics-driven progression. Purchase it at launch for a quick, focused automation fix.
