Tobias Lindqvist
Instant-win game analyst. I write the English side of this site, I play what I describe, and I say when I have not been able to check something.
How Tobias tests a game
By playing at the minimum stake long enough for the rhythm to appear, and logging three things: how often a round arrives with no pickaxe, the average depth of a descent before durability runs out, and the typical path of the counter in an ordinary round.
Those three observations are not statistics and do not pretend to be: they describe the experience of a real session, which is exactly what no spec sheet reports. The long-run statistics are already published by the studio, and they sit on the RTP page.
What was verified and what was not
Verified by playing: the draw of the four tools and of the no-pickaxe round, the counter advancing 0.1 per broken block, the existence of cells that restore durability or alter the trajectory, and the pickaxe health bars showing figures like 66/100 or 175/400.
Not verifiable from here: the stake range, which the studio does not publish and each operator sets. Which is why no minimum or maximum stake figure taken from somebody else's table appears on this site. Where something cannot be checked, this site says so instead of filling the gap.
Which figures are quoted and whose they are
A 95% RTP, low volatility, a release date of 18 June 2026 and a multiplier ladder topping out at 50x: those are Pixmove Games figures. Maximum win: x165 per the studio's announcement and x160 per several aggregator databases, and the two always appear together.
The arithmetic in euro — cost per hour, the comparison with a 96.5% title — is our own calculation on the declared RTP, not a forecast of results. It is labelled as a calculation every time it is used.
What I do not write
I do not write that a strategy improves the return, because on a game with a single input there is none. I do not sign lists of recommended casinos. And I do not attribute opinions to players who do not exist: the testing notes on this site are mine and are identified as such.
When the game or a framework changes, the pages change with them and the update date says so. A review that stands still while the world moves stops being true without telling anyone, and that is worse than being visibly out of date.
Frequently asked questions
Who writes the English pages of fallingpickaxe.info?
Tobias Lindqvist, an instant-win game analyst. The testing notes on the site are our own and are signed; opinions from players we cannot verify are not reproduced.
How are the games tested?
By playing at the minimum stake long enough for the rhythm to appear, logging three things: how often a round arrives with no pickaxe, the average descent depth, and the typical path of the counter.
Why is the game's minimum stake not listed?
Because the studio does not publish it and each operator sets it according to the account currency. Copying a figure from someone else's table would mean inventing it: yours is in the game's own pay table and in the cashier.
Where do the euro figures come from?
They are our own calculation on the declared 95% RTP, not a forecast of results, and they are labelled as calculations each time they are used.
