Diggin

This game has the typical incremental formula down, with increasing progression for you to dig deeper each time. I feel like there were some aspects that were lacking for me. One, it was very possible to miss the things you were supposed to get because your little mole just digs as much as he wants and there's no way to really control him, especially with all the bombs happening. It was INCREDIBLY frustrating missing the special loot almost every single time because you couldn't control him. This is also the same for the stars as well in the late game. I also felt bored at some moments where progression didn't feel like it was going anywhere so it got a little monotonous. There was no explanation of what additional layers did until I tried it and had to figure it out myself. All in all I did like the art style, I just think it has some faults compared to other mining based incremental games I've played. Finished? Yes Steam Achievements? Easy Steam Deck? Really hard to select the thing you want at times. Rating? 6/10 My curator page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45865425-CozyAriGames/ Full videos on Youtube

Short and sweet. Its not going to be your forever game, but its fun while you play.

Too short for an idle game, but too restrictive in what it lets you do for a mining or exploration game. It's just.. weird. Also the progression system is this weird grid slop that every mining indie game seems to have now. Makes you wonder if this is either a unity asset that was only modified to the bare minimum or something AI now generates for every one of these games. Since the progression and gameplay barely make sense to me, I would suspect the latter.

Good length, not overstaying it's welcome. The upgrades are interresting, the numbers between damage, density, resources and upgrade cost balanced well into a smooth progression, where it doesn't feel like a pointless grind. Very nice progress seesaw, giving the taste of more and more destructive power, then letting us make things more resilient in exchange for greater rewards. At any moment, we can return to earlier level to experience the how far we have come. Way, way better way to handle it than the usual "prestige" system where our progress is reset. And more difficult to pull off, so kudos! The only criticism is the requirements for the Mining Master achivement - I had to grind over and over after finishing the game and all upgrades just to reach it. A much better spot for it would be 200k blocks, so that it happens around the same time as other points of full completion. That way, the last thing people remember will be excitement from finishing a good game, not boredom of grinding a single achivement.

Enjoyed the game play and ramp up of power. Would have liked longer.

A short, but very fun Skill Tree/Number Go Up game! 9.5/10
