Community Insight:
It is a perfect replica of the pc version but sometimes when we throw tnt it goes straight through the dirt.
If you get to deep the lights suddenly make it harder to see because they make boxes dark and light on the screen.
We need a Save game button to have 4 game because if your baby sister clicks new game and it starts a new game you cant get it back and that is what happened to us pls update the Save game button Update.
Im enjoying this game so far ever since Ive seen it on YouTube. Its quite fun, but it does need some work. The game feels great, but its demanding, which means our iPhone started throttling (or burning up) quickly, so we would appreciate if there was customizable graphic options to lower consumption. Ive also noticed theres frame drops even on 60 FPS, but of course we are playing on iOS 26, so while iOS 26 needs work we would appreciate it if you could also find a way to fix the FPS issues. Overall great game, little issues here and there, but not too bothering.
We have played this game on pc and we were excited when we saw it in the App Store. It is super fun to play, but we were a little disappointed when our backbone controller is not supported. Would love to get backbone controller support for it.
The game is super fun. Our only suggestion is to make it so you dont have random particles sticking around and that those particles will clear up automatically.
Doesnt seem to work in main menu, but works well in game! Hold Right Trigger to dig.
This game is so freaking fun that we shared it with our cousin. Its really worth buying we do recommend. It helps us with stress or when Im just bored. Overall the best digging game ever.
had our gear maxed in a few hours, before ever finding gold, then we got to end of game to a very disappointing ending.
Awesome experience digging , awful ending. We dont get it. Game was way too short. What was the story? Did all that digging to get eaten by a huge mole? Am we the mole? Hope there is an expansion or something.
Some things just work. This is one of those things. Everything about this works. From the implementation to the gameplay loop, it just works. Its extremely satisfying. Im happy to pay a few bucks for a contained experience like back in the day. Ill pay 5 bucks for this experience all day long. Its infinitely more fulfilling than every single p2w gacha combined. And its a game about digging a hole. The philosophical implications of digging a virtual hole being more spiritually fulfilling than an entire genre of entertainment are hilarious. Dig your hole. Find your zen.
A game to definitely help with stress, we love it, thank you.
Im digging a hole. Dig dig digging a hole.
No we can relive digging to unbooty the earth. Now on our phone.
We love this game, but it plays so much better with a mouse and keyboard. The touch controls are janky. Ill probably not play much on mobile, but we wanted to support the dev.
Saw a few vids online of people playing it, never watched the full playthrough and glad we didnt. Ending is scary funny.
Great game, could use a visual indicator for how much your bad is full next to the health and energy gauge.
We love this game its so fun. But pls add more updates soon. But we love it. Thank you.
Dig hella holes, get materials sell them, get upgrades, and just do all that yeah its fun.
What an incredibly addictive game. This game is fantastic, like surprisingly so. So much fun.
Good game but addicting because when you start the whole, you want to finish the whole.
Nice concept. We do have a few suggestions. Instead of just finding ore, there should be random objects like silverware, jewelry, cans, etc..stuff you might normally find digging around. Also, more upgrades please. We think it would be cool if you could use your cash to make upgrades to the house as well. Having an elevator to purchase would be nice. Overall good game and has potential.
Control needs to be better especially when using the shovel. Pressing buttons in the options barely works and this is 2025 bro ALL CONTROLS SHOULD BE CUSTOMIZABLE.
Was pretty fun and enjoyable but beat it very quickly and wish they would expand more.
Good game, in this mobile version its just a bit hard to move around (walking, jumping, turning).
Eh once you upgrade its kinda boring, most of the fun is getting new resources, wish there were other tools to unlock or better equipment.
First of all, the digging tool is really hard to use. Second, we wish it has more guidance, we mean at the end we find out where to dig and where to sell etc. But we wish has more guidance. The third, you should really really really improve some details. For example, we wish you make the game less dizzy. We mean seriously, Im ok with many 3d games, but this one only takes us like five mins, Im dizzy to close to vomit. And it last for hours. The other thing is the selling and upgrade tools room is waaaaaaaay more far away than necessary. Its annoying, and increase the dizziness. We sort of can get you are making it harder by not using it in the button, but theres no point to make it this far away.
