Great concept for a small game.

I dig it. get it? simple but enjoyable, atleast for one time, i got some feedback about the ratio of the game, but i guess that is intended so you can't just swing away like crazy!

Really cool idea for a game. I REALLY want to see a port to a WII etc. I sooo want to play this game with motion controls! Apart from that: Great Idea!

Smooth action, quite an interesting game

goty 10/10

for real though, i loved the concept. While the controls are weird and the digging takes getting used to, i think that this is the exact perfect thing for such game. And i really like the music that you have - provides a great comedic feel (throwing the orchestra at something as simple as digging - love it!)

One pet peeve i found is that when i entered my name into the high score it told me it's too short. Please let me use my 4 letter name. thanks.

Really neat concept, and I really like the digging motion you make with the mouse since its not something you see often anymore. I really like how the dirt pile at the top get bigger as you go deeper, I love small details like that. One small nitpick is that the depth the game tells you seems really off (It appears im only a few meters deeps but the game tells me im 30m deep). Other than that it does what it says it does and is a really fun game.

Hahah nice game. Such a simple idea but still it was fun to play. Greate work guys!

I dig deep enough to feel satisfied!

Simple mechanic thats nicely done with good graphics and ( to me at least) hilarious song XD. Loved it!

Simple game that's really fun! It's an obvious concept for the theme but no one would ever think they could make a game out of it and you did. well executed as well, the controls leave room for skill expression and it seems like it could be an actual game that people could kill time with. great music too! nice game

The idea is fun, but it really difficult to do right. But anyway I still liked it. Well done.

Clever idea, and very well executed. This is a good example of a simple idea executed well!

This would be a great minigame in some bigger project :b you rarely see games with digging as a mechanic! Fun! Would love to see this expanded on.

The art was good. I like how you did the tutorial. Your game give me a feeling of dread. You have presented a cool use of mouse tracking.

Cool idea and engaging control scheme.
