The Last Dig

This is a pretty engaging digging game. The general play loop is pretty straightforward, dig, sell, build infrastructure, and upgrade. The deeper you go, the more interesting things you find. Environmental cues suggest there is something bigger going on, but I haven't played long enough or dug deep enough to find out what's happening yet. The merchant characters have nice design. The interface is pretty intuitive. The upgrades actually make a difference in the functionality of the digger, which becomes readily apparent when you re-spawn and have to retrieve them from your dead digger. Overall, I've been enjoying the game and would recommend it for someone looking for an atmospheric mining collector.

I received this game for free so I figured I'd write a little review to help the dev out. It's a Motherload clone. I loved playing Motherload back in the day, so obviously I was intrigued by this. It's a little fun and does some things differently from Motherload, like the lack of fuel and the oxygen mechanic. I don't really like the chromatic abberation effect and the fact that you can't turn it off. I also don't like that I can't access the specific shopkeepers when I need them, I have to wait until they are available and it might not be the shopkeeper I need if I wanted to build more pipes. I'm also not a fan of the AI art. I know real art might be more expensive but it's really worth it. If you loved the game Motherload, maybe this is up your alley!
