## What is Dig!?

Join Douglas Chase as he digs up his backyard in search of treasures and fame!

*** iPhone 3GS not supported ***

Douglas Chase is a not so great archeologist working for a failing museum. He must dig up objects to save his job and the museum as well.
 Nigel the mummy will be out to get Douglas, but don’t worry, Nigel’s sense of direction is not so great (too many years buried in a tomb will do that), however if Nigel does touch your digging line, all heck will break loose!

Many more enemies will join Nigel so collect hats (magic hats of course!), that will help Douglas along his adventure digging deeper and deeper to the center of the earth… 

Inspired by the arcade game “QiX”, Dig! is a fast paced game which requires quick changes of direction and strategy to dig out 75% of each level to complete.  Different enemies will add to the difficulty however Nigel will always be close by, wandering around as he does. Collect artefacts for money to help the museum and to buy power-ups and hats. Collect exhibit pieces to put into the museum and earn a paycheck for Douglas.

### 1/5 — Just...No....

*2017-01-26*

This doesn't make sense considering you're trying to fight EGYPTIAN-themed enemies. Last I checked, elves, blobs, GIANT SQUIDS, and penguins weren't a part of Egyptian armies, especially if they were undead. Want it more realistic? Create more reasonable enemies, like scorpions, MUMMIES, even Egyptian soldier skeletons as enemies and ditch the lame, nonsensical ones. I know it's a child's game basically, but the whole concept is dumb. Instead of having the Egyptian pharaoh himself chasing the character, why not put him in as a final boss, while putting reasonable enemies in lower levels starting with just scorpions and snakes, then move slowly to putting mummies and other harder ones in later levers like maybe level 10 instead of 2?

Одна из лучших и интересных игр в апп сторе

### 5/5 — Freak you, Nigel!!!

*2016-08-10, version 1.2*

So, i have played this game sooo many times and i love it so. But OOOOOHHHH HOW I HATE NIGEL!!!!!!!! 😡😤 He is the first thing that gets me REAL worked up. No, i dont want you to remove him, but he is a big challenge. The second thing that annoys me is that YOU SPELLED ARTIFACTS WRONG!!!! *wilhelm scream* Look it up in the dictionary! Its not artefacts, its artifacts. With an i. I love this game and nigel, i cant wait to kick your fat butt!!

### 2/5 — Frustration

*2016-04-25*

I'm up for a good challenge, but this is just frustrating.  Controls are fine, just swipe whet you want to go, but monsters are you fast, too many, and know exactly where you are the whole time.
