What it says on the box

It is what is says it is - a game about digging a hole. You dig and dig and collect and dig and upgrade and dig some more.

There is a semblance of a story, but I didn't find any secrets of easter eggs that might hint at anything deeper than what you see on the surface.

But the gameplay is kinda relaxing and scratches that primal urge to just... dig a hole.

Shovelware That could be more interesting if it had some extra length.
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

This isn't deep. The story is kind of amusing... But it's very sparse. It's way too easy to max out your upgrades and this is essentially going to take you a smigdeon longer to finish than you could to go and get a refund lol.

HOLEY MOLEY THAT ENDING IS BAD... I played this for free and enjoyed it but the real treat is seeing player reactions.

the upgrade trees could have been a lot longer. it would have been nice to have a big upgrade tree for the dynamite as well (But maybe that would make it too easy)

I managed to complete it in about an hour and a half my first try, then went for all the easter eggs, secrets, etc (there's not a lot of stuff lol)... Shame it's so short, there's not much replay value. If you are curious, but don't wanna buy, this sort of thing is perfect for a Let's Play IMO.

It's true.... you do dig a hole.

The physics are very satisfying.

Very short game though and I'm not a fan of the ending.

Interesting

It is rather cathartic like Powerwash Simulator. I hope there is a second one that has more upgrade and more things to find. By the end, I had so much money but nothing to spend it on. Worth a few bucks, though!

we need a new word for these meditative, single-task games. Think-em-ups? Chills-like? First person thinker? I dunno I'm just the ideas guy. Anyway this is a very good one of those.

Actually pretty fun

It takes about a second to download and only about an hour to get through but it's actually more fun than it has any right to be for something this short and simple. If you have Game Pass just play it. You have nothing to lose with this game!

Very short game, shorter than Portal, but the ending is hilarious.

The game is what it says on the tin. you dig a hole. Good for slapping on a podcast and chilling for a bit.
