Digging Dudes

What is this game?

Command a squad of hard-working dudes, tunnel through different biomes and layers, collect rare ores and gemstones, equip powerful pickaxes, and descend into the depths!

A Promise to Players

I’m committed to keeping all future content updates free, with no paid DLC - games should never cost 150$ for the full experience.

The game will leave Early Access as a complete experience, while continuing to receive meaningful updates and improvements afterwards, performance being the key aspect so the game can be enjoyed on old devices too!

I also stand in support of the Stop Killing Games movement and the idea that players should be able to keep the games they’ve paid for playable.

Early Access notice:

During the Early Access (EA) period profiles may become unstable and unusable, please have patience and provide any feedback you may have - it is always welcome and features might be implemented or changed if they fit the theme of the game.
