Diggin

The game's premise is neat, but the execution is very sloppy and rough. There are several things in here that simply are not explained. For example: an upgrade you can unlock is a "Fever" block, which gives you the "Fever" state for several seconds. What does that do? Don't know! There was a good period of time where my gadgets and tools did *significantly* more damage than my drill, which is when I discovered that there is no penalty (other than wasting your IRL time) to simply standing somewhere and letting your gadgets do all the work. Aim your drill straight up and let your passives do all the work for you until your mining operation accidentally touches a high-level block and drains your fuel. Because different block types have a fuel cost to drill them, in addition to their normal HP pool. So to reach the lower floors reliably, your drill will run low on fuel; aim up and wait for your gadgets to passively blow up enough blocks to find fuel blocks, then have your passives destroy those until you refill your fuel and can safely touch another block with your drill. I don't understand what "Artifacts" do, because they list out things like "Drill effects and weapons do 25% m…

I want to give this a thumbs up; for the most part its a decent little game. But the final achievement to dig 300k blocks is just ridiculous. I completed the game and bought all upgrades before getting the 100k block achievement. So now I have to mine 3x as many blocks with absolutely no other purpose. No tracker or post run report on how many blocks I've got, so just clicking 'play again' and leaving him to it, again and again and again. Unfortunately soured what was otherwise a good experience.

Decent fun, but quickly falls into the trap of not actually needing to do anything and still doing just as well as actively playing. That realization took a good bit of the fun out, but I grinded my way to the end, and the ending was quite nice. Last achievement sucks, not gonna drop another 5 hours into the game to try to get an untracked (on the steam achievement list) achievement haha

Cool digging game, not too long.

Game was a fun little romp. Would have liked to see maybe builds or a talent tree that offered paths that stopped you from taking other sides. Being able to equip all of the talents on the tree at the same time, even the biggest ones, felt like it was overkill with no replayability, but the game was still fun for the one playthrough.

I’m using a translator for this review, so please forgive any awkward phrasing! [ Summary ] Highly recommended for anyone looking for mining, deep skill trees, and pure satisfying gameplay! [ GOOD ] + The pixel art is super cute, and the late-game effects are flashy and fun to watch. + The skill tree is surprisingly large, which gave me plenty of motivation to keep grinding. [ Feedback ] - Mining gets so fast that I ended up missing fossils and achievements a few times. It’d be great if there were a mechanics or QoL feature to help recover missed items! [ Playtime & Volume ] - Main Story: around 4 hours - 100% Achievements: around 4.5 hours - Great volume that’s super fun whether you binge it in one sitting or play bit by bit in your free time. [ Conclusion ] I got so hooked that I ended up beating it all in one go. Thank you so much to the developers for creating such a wonderful game!
