About
Ever wondered: “Could I escape prison with just a spoon?”
You wake up in the bottom floor of Alco-Trash - a grim, forgotten island prison with walls that crumble faster than the inmates. Your only companion is Blue, a voice from the toilet that promises freedom if you keep digging.
DIG YOUR WAY TO CONTRABAND AND FREEDOM
Every scrape of dirt brings you closer to the old sewer tunnels below. Along the way, you’ll find Contraband - all valuable in their own weird way. Trade your junk with Blue to unlock spoon schematics.
MODIFY YOUR SPOON TO SUIT YOUR DIGGING NEEDS
Dig faster, dig bigger, dig deeper, dig cooler - it's up to you!
Combine different types of Heads & Stems to turn your spoon into an absolute beast!
Will you tunnel straight down? Spiral out sideways? Grapple past toxic sludge? It’s your hole.
Reach the sewers, climb the ladder, and freedom is yours. Or is it? There’s always a catch in Alco-Trash.
There’s no timer, no alarms - just you, your spoon, and the dirty secret waiting at the bottom.
Wishlist: Digging a Hole... with a Spoon: Escape from Alcatraz now - your hole isn’t going to dig itself!
“One spoon, infinite dirt, zero dignity.”

Got the game. Dug a hole. Beat the game. I had fun doing it and.... did not see the ending coming.
Pretty good for the price, pretty fun for what it is. Digging a hole being able to upgrade with the items grabbed and learning which upgrades work best. Some details for upgrade system could be a little clearer but other than that. Fun to play. The ending is made me laugh.
I played this for a good while, and I do like how unserious tis game can be some times. I recommended this to my friend, and he would buy it if he had the money. I think it has a lot of potential. So keep up the good work. My friend did say to add crouching btw
Game beat. I expect more than 45 minutes of entertainment when I purchase a full release game.
Please add achievements I need a reason to play a second time

It's a very good and fun game, but too short. I hope this get an update or any extension and more tools, or anything. I wish the best to the developers! <3
Good Consept. Kinda the same game as "A Game about Diggin a Hole", without the concept of getting caught. Just to keep digging with no conecpt of sleep to refill energy or times, just digging to escape. There needs to me more. Also no save feature? How do you know when the game is saved? You cannot save it in the Menu or the Bed? At this stage I don't recommend the game but will give it another go later.
Sorry, but this game is not finish, and it Sorry, but this game is broken and not finished at all. There is text missing from the options, the settings button does not work and I came out from above the prison and fell into infinity! I'm requesting a refund now.
