The Playtest is now open!
Margarite Entertainment
Gold Miner: Party Rush is a co-op & versus party game built on the classic gold-digging arcade formula, and starting today, you can play it early.
How to join: click Request Access in the Playtest box on our store page.
What's in the playtest
- Play with Friends — private rooms for 2-6 players: free-for-all, 2v2 and 3v3 team battles
- Co-op Endless — team up with 2-3 players for one shared run, with global leaderboards. How deep can you go?
- Quick Play — online matchmaking. It opens automatically when enough players are online, so bring a friend and watch this page for group play sessions
- Solo warmup, a short tutorial, and 13 special level mechanics — blackouts, floods, conveyor belts, zero gravity and more
- Voice chat, a locker with sample cosmetics, and in-game feedback tools
- Own the classic Gold Miner? All 4 characters are unlocked for you from the start
What's not in it (yet)
Ranked mode, cosmetic unlocks, point redemption and achievements are saved for Early Access. Playtest progress is stored separately and won't carry over to the full game.
Tell us everything
This is a work-in-progress build — rough edges are expected, and finding them is exactly what the playtest is for. The fastest way to reach us is the in-game feedback hub ( on the main menu): post bugs, ideas and balance thoughts, and vote on what other players wrote. We read all of it.
How long will it run?
The playtest will be open at least through the end of September. When it's time to wrap up, we'll post a notice here at least one week in advance. If you enjoy what you play, adding the game to your wishlist is the single most helpful thing you can do. See you in the mine!
