Overburden

A free platformer game — play it in your browser, no install. ⛏ OVERBURDEN — a fiscally responsible roguelike. Spelunky-style mining platformer with a genuine double-entry ledger underneath. Every bomb is blasting expense. The balance sheet always balances.

From the README

You are the newly incorporated single-asset subsidiary of a small mining holdco, lowered into the pit with a pickaxe, a modest line of credit, and a legal obligation to turn a profit. Dig, blast, dodge boulders, outrun floods — while underneath the platforming runs a **genuine double-entry accounting engine**. Every bomb is blasting expense. Every banked ore chunk is revenue. The balance sheet balances after every single game event, or the game literally crashes. (It has never crashed. We audited.)

You can ignore the numbers completely and play it as a pure action roguelike.
