We should be able to turn the bird off

I like shovel noise but I don’t like birds

Genuinely so fun

This game is a work of art. truly. i looked for a hole digging game right after i watched a youtuber play one and i came across this one. i could sit here and play this game for hourssssss and not get bored. and to see it being actively updated and worked on is so refreshing. they’ve added so much since i first started playing i just now noticed you can go inside the house and upgrade stuff in there. AND they have a computer where i imagine we can go to other places and dig holes there with new loot drops. VERY VERY FUN GAME one of the only games i tolerate ads in to be honest. 10/10 will play again

Oddly relaxing and more depth than you expect

I’ve sunk hours into this game and I keep going back to the well for more. The gameplay loop is oddly addicting where you dig a bit, collect some random things, cash them in, buy gear and repeat.

I would love to see the devs include a journal of sorts or an item tracker. It would be great to see progress on collecting things like pieces of a map or a whole set of Dino bones. The options for this would be endless and add a little more fuel to keep digging.

How I like it

The game is fun finding treasure and upgrading there’s not to many ads but they need to fix how glitchy it gets sometimes it’s fine but sometimes it gets stuck

Response from developer

Thank you for your rating! We will fix this in the next updates
