Fun game, had to play twice since when you finish it only gives option for new game and I misssed 2 'chieves but I had fun
I dig and dig and dig... that I ended up getting whipped because I keep digging a hole... oh well.
Horrible.
Of all the games about digging, this is one of them.
If you're into any of the digging a hole games, you will definitely like this one. Its short, simple and has a nice upgrade system. No insane grinding either. It has some simple yet effective mechanics that I wish many other digging games adopted, like the auto flashlight and the upgradeable drone to quickly return back to the surface. The physics are pretty great too, Its not super complex, but I had more fun with it than id like to admit Again, super fun, super simple gameplay. I was able to 100% it in the 3 hours that I played, you can probably do it in less.
В целом, для времяпрепровождения, где хочется просто отдохнуть, кнопая мышей - нормально, от других диггеров не особо отличается. Что не понравилось - выемка грунта. Если обычно апгрейд лопаты-кирки подразумевает за собой увеличение скорости и объёма копания, то здесь такого нет, просто чуть быстрее будут взмахи. Сам грунт копается не окружностью, а представляет из себя нечто вроде кусковой мозаики, и апгрейд кирки и бура впоследствии позволит лишь увеличить его силу, чтобы иметь возможность разбивать более дорогую руду: железо\серебро\золото и так далее в градации. Соответственно, чтобы закрыть ачивки, придётся прокапываться очень глубоко, особенно в поисках всех артефактов, вплоть до самого нижнего уровня, где находится... Впрочем, это уже будет спойлер:)
Fun little game to play in my opinion. Simple and easy as it gets.
This game is super satisfying! The physics are really fun, I love watching stuff crumble and collapse. The upgrades are meaningful and keep the pace just right. There are also tons of cool items to find
Better than " dig a whole " or whatever it's called
Really nice and cozy game with a super fun ending! Thank you very much for this!
