3 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is a polished HD reskin of a classic digging game, retaining many original mechanics with minor tweaks. It features simple yet effective elements like an auto flashlight and an upgradeable drone for convenience, resulting in a fun and straightforward experience.
“It has some simple yet effective mechanics that I wish many other digging games adopted, like the auto flashlight and the upgradeable drone to quickly return back to the surface.”
