Gali
Mine ORE in a mini open-world pixel game on Solana.
Gali turns ORE mining into a place you walk around in. Pick a spot on the island, meet miners in town and dig deeper together.
Ninety seconds of the game, then ninety seconds of why we built it.
One town, five places to go. Scroll to walk through them.
Twenty-five spots on one island, and each one is a square on ORE's real board. Put SOL on the spots you like. When the round ends, ORE picks one winning square.
A pixel town where every connected miner walks around live. It's where you start, and where everyone meets between rounds.
Three quick table games in 40-second rounds, played in ORE or SKR. The house locks in its secret before anyone stakes, and you can check it after.
Walk your miner through a lantern-lit cave with a joystick and a swing button. Break rocks, grab gems, dodge bats and climb down before the oil runs out.
A walled pit for up to 12 miners, with a crowd in the stands. Matches rotate between three modes, and level-ups unlock superpowers.
Practice on the real Gali Island, with no SOL involved. Tap spots on the island to choose them, then strike.
Tap a spot to choose it
On the real island, this is one ORE round. The board waits for its first deploy, runs for about 80 seconds, then ORE selects one spot to be mined, on chain.
Think of a blockchain where only one block out of 25 gets mined each round. Miners point their SOL at the blocks they want to work. The block that gets mined pays its miners in new ORE.
You deploy 0.01 SOL on a spot, and another miner deploys 0.03 SOL there. You hold a quarter of that spot.
If your spot is mined: you receive 0.25 ORE and 0.0099 SOL back. If another spot is mined: 0.00891 SOL comes back to you.
Starred solo spots pay the whole 1 ORE to one miner on the spot, picked in proportion to SOL. With a quarter of the spot, you'd be picked about 1 round in 4.
Everything you need to play, and the exact rules behind every number.
| Event | What happens |
|---|---|
| Winning square | Mines the round's 1 ORE, split by how much SOL each miner put on it. |
| Solo squares | Ten of the 25 squares each round. On a solo winner, one miner takes the whole 1 ORE. Your odds equal your share of that square. |
| Motherlode | ORE adds 0.2 ORE every round and pays the pool out 1 round in 500, split by SOL on the winning square. |
| Your SOL | ORE keeps 1% of every square, plus 10% of the rest on squares that miss. Everything else comes back to you. |
SOL claims are free. Unrefined ORE pays ORE's 10% refining fee when you claim it, and that fee goes to everyone still holding as refined ORE. Gali runs ORE's checkpoint for you before each claim.
Approve once, then your miner deploys every round with no wallet pop-up.
In PRO, set rounds above 1. Gali sets up ORE's own automation for your wallet and funds it for every round you chose. A key kept on your device runs it.
| What the key can do | Deploy from your automation. It cannot withdraw, and ORE pays winnings to your own miner account. |
| Where it lives | Encrypted on your device in the phone's secure storage. |
| Limits | Up to 100 rounds. During the beta, autopilot is also capped at 1 SOL across all rounds. We remove this cap at public launch. |
| Fee | 0.00001 SOL per round, ORE's executor fee set at cost. It covers the network fee for each deploy. |
| Stopping | Press STOP and approve once. Unused SOL comes back to your wallet. |
Pick a tunnel. One caves in.
Five tunnels, one cave-in. Miners in the other four split the collapsed tunnel's stakes, minus the 5% house fee. If nobody or everybody picked it, everyone is refunded.
Buy in. One miner strikes gold.
Every stake buys tickets. One ticket is drawn and its miner takes the pot, minus the 5% house fee. A pot with one player is refunded.
Pick a cash-out. Beat the crash.
A minecart climbs and crashes at a random multiplier. Pick 1.2x to 10x before the round. Reach it and you win your stake times that number.
| Rule | ORE tables | SKR tables |
|---|---|---|
| Chips | 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 ORE | 10, 50, 100 SKR |
| Most per wallet per round | 0.5 ORE | 500 SKR |
| House fee | 5% | 5% |
Rounds last 40 seconds. Stakes close 30 seconds in, the round settles at 46 seconds, and winners are paid from the house wallet automatically. A table shows "not funded" until the house can pay it.
Move with the joystick and break rocks with SWING. On a computer, use the arrow keys and space. Find the ladder to the next floor before your lantern runs dry. Bats and falling rock cost hearts, and you get 3 per run.
| Find | XP |
|---|---|
| Rock | 1 |
| Bat | 3 |
| Nugget | 5 |
| Gem | 25 |
| Climbing down | 10 times the floor you cleared |
Every miner has an HP bar. Swing at anyone in the lobby or on the island, or fight properly in the Arena.
| Mode | How to win |
|---|---|
| Last Miner Standing | Be the last miner up in 2 minutes. A knocked-out miner watches from the stands until the next match. |
| King of the Hill | Hold the ring in the middle alone for 20 seconds in total. The match runs 90 seconds. |
| Mole King | Everyone fights the boss together for 2 minutes. It has 400 HP plus 150 for each extra miner. Step out of the red ring when it raises its claws. |
Your level unlocks powers, and they work in the Arena only. Every power you have unlocked is ready at once, each with its own cooldown. Pick one passive on the POWERS page.
| Power | Unlocks | What it does | Cooldown | Key |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dash Strike | Level 1 | Charge forward and hit the first miner in your path for 1.3 times the damage. | 6 s | Q |
| Pickaxe Guard | Level 2 | Block for 1.5 seconds. Hits do a fifth of their damage, and the attacker takes 5. | 8 s | E |
| Ground Slam | Level 4 | Leap and slam for 12 damage to everyone close. | 9 s | R |
| Ore Splash | Level 6 | Throw three ORE shards in a fan, 7 damage each. | 7 s | C |
| Whirlwind | Level 8 | Spin your pickaxe for 9 damage to everyone next to you. | 10 s | V |
| Second Wind | Level 10 | Get 25 HP back. | 16 s | X |
| Stone Skin | Level 5 | Passive. Take 15% less damage. | None | |
| Pet Assist | Level 7 | Passive. Your pet nips a miner next to you for 4 damage every 3 seconds. | 3 s |
On a phone, the joystick sits bottom left, with HIT and the power buttons bottom right. In the Arena, levels add at most 20% damage, so skill still decides a fight. Pick up ORE shards to throw, hearts for 30 HP, and shields for 3 seconds.
| Event | XP |
|---|---|
| Knockout in the lobby or on the island | 20 |
| Knockout in the Arena | 40 |
| Arena win | 50 |
| Mole King down | 30 for everyone who fought |

Every round of about 80 seconds, ORE's board has 25 spots and only one gets mined. Miners deploy SOL onto the spots they want to work. The mined spot produces 1 ORE, shared by SOL on it, and SOL on the other spots comes back minus a small fee. Try it on the practice island.
Gali opens to the public after the Solana Mobile hackathon results. You can play sooner as a beta tester: join our X group and we will add you.
No. Gali is built for Seeker, but at launch any Android phone with a Solana wallet can run it, and any computer can play in the browser.
Not on ORE Island. Your wallet deploys straight into ORE's program, and ORE pays your rewards. In the arcade, your stake sits in the house wallet until the round settles.
ORE starts each round's clock on its first deploy. Until somebody deploys, the board waits.
That is ORE's refining fee on unrefined ORE. It goes to holders, so waiting to claim earns you refined ORE from other people's claims.
Yes. The Android app plays in landscape, like most action games, so both thumbs have room. In a phone browser, Gali keeps its portrait layout.
No. Brawl and the Arena are free and pay XP only. Turn Brawl off on your profile page if you just want to mine.
No. Gear is cosmetic. It never changes your odds on ORE Island or in the arcade.
That table can't pay winners yet, so it takes no stakes. Try the other token's table, or come back later.
