A different digger than Puzzle to Center of Earth, my favorite digger.... This is a close 2nd! Especially later levels lots of challenge and options...

The levels were too big and open, without much to actually do other than find the exit. This looks super, though. anabolicMike Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2013 302 0 0 #7 anabolicMike, Apr 16, 2015 The controls are horrible I keep messing up.

Thanks PeteOzzy And thanks to the folks I quoted, both for testing and for saying nice things. Sorry to hear you're not liking the controls, anabolicMike. Any specific thing that's getting under your skin? Some people prefer to draw a path - personally I play by just tapping individual tiles, or tapping my destination. coolpepper43 ð® Spam Police ð Aug 31, 2012 4,615 7 38 On the toilet #10 coolpepper43, Apr 16, 2015 I'm still confused on exactly how the controls work. hraefn Member Feb 1, 2011 15 0 0 #11 hraefn, Apr 16, 2015 OK, maybe we should add a bit to the tutorial. For the controls, you can either 1) drag your finger to create a path leading away from the character, or 2) tap a tile to auto-calculate the path. For 2, the tile can be adjacent or a little ways off. You can add tiles to the end of the path by tapping any tile adjacent to its endpoint, or cancel the path by tapping on the screen away from it. coolpepper43 ð® Spam Police ð Aug 31, 2012 4,615 7 38 On the toilet #12 coolpepper43, Apr 16, 2015 I didn't pick up the game yet when I asked. I was just trying to understand before getting this. Downloading as we speak. touchy85 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2015 1,616 1 38 #13 touchy85, Apr 16, 2015 Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #14 NOEN, Apr 16, 2015 Ok, so I gave this a go for a little bit. I'm not too far into it. I've played the first two levels and then went back and replayed them to try and find everything I could, but I can already tell that I'm going to like this game. It reminds me somewhat of Steamworld Dig which is a compliment because I love that game. Something about digging games. I am a sucker for them. I don't know what it is. I guess the exploration maybe? I like this one because it's kind of a mashup of exploring like in an action/adventure game, upgrading like in a RPG, then there's puzzle elements because you've got to plan ahead and determine where your going to dig next so you can get to everything and not screw yourself over. The controls work well in it. Pretty much tap to where you want to move or dig. I really like the art style of this too. Everything is or at least looks like it's hand drawn. Like I said, I'm very early into the game, but so far I'm really "digging" it. ZING! I'm almost positive that I'll do a video on this today/tonight sometime, so I'll leave more detailed impressions on that I'm sure. I swear, every Thursday is like Christmas morning with all these good games that get released. korkidog Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Apr 12, 2012 153 0 16 Illinois #15 korkidog, Apr 16, 2015 I'm really enjoying the game so far, but on the iPhone 6 Plus sometimes the game stutters a bit. Anyone else having this issue? hraefn Member Feb 1, 2011 15 0 0 #16 hraefn, Apr 16, 2015 Hey korkidog, I'm surprised there's any performance issues on a device like the 6+. The game runs smoothly on my 5, actually. If you have time, would you mind messaging me here or at chris at chroniclegames with a quick description of when it seems to happen? I'd guess maybe when traps go off, or when blocks are destroyed? Would also love to hear if anyone else is noticing technical glitches .THOTH. Well-Known Member Mar 6, 2012 279 0 16 Credit counselor :( Tacoma, WA #17 .THOTH., Apr 16, 2015 Love the game but just encountered the worst kind of bug. After several attempts on the second star level I decided to quit and when it took me back to the menu all my saved data including upgrades and levels unlocked were lost. I hope this can be fixed. hraefn Member Feb 1, 2011 15 0 0 #18 hraefn, Apr 16, 2015 Oof. Sorry to hear that happened, Thoth. We're going to get it figured ASAP. Just to be sure everything is gone, try exiting fully out of the app and restarting. Hopefully the "Load Game" button will show up.
