### 5/5 — Having fun

*2023-08-15*

This feels like an ultimate retro gaming experience.
It’s lots of fun and tons of fun surprises.

### 5/5 — For four years!?

*2023-05-24, version 1.62*

How do you not have anymore reviews in 4 years this is a awesome game oh and later I will think of some ideas 

1 add a restart progress button

2 coming soon

### 5/5 — Its a good game but its kinda strange

*2023-03-12*

This is kinda similar to dig dug and mr driller except its not a puzzle game and you don’t inflate enemies with an air pump or drop rocks on them it’s like a hybrid. but overall it’s a great game!

### 1/5 — Honest I forgot this game

*2020-01-21, version 1.62*

But I’m pretty sure it was really bad

### 5/5 — Digby

*2019-03-29, version 1.62*

Great play now

### 5/5 — Better then my childhood

*2018-12-01*

Remember this on NES. Love this remake. Challenging at times, yet rewarding. Ads optional for currency advancement, they don’t smother you constantly which is such a huge relief! Pick it up and try it out for an enjoyable time passer. (Keeping this one!)

### 5/5 — Fun and Unique

*2018-07-30, version 1.62*

This game is pretty unique, but fun!

### 1/5 — A dig dug clone

*2018-07-29, version 1.62*

I got nothing to say but it’s just dig dug for a phone

### 1/5 — Doesn't work..

*2018-07-27, version 1.62*

Can't even do the tutorial, he won't dig anything :(

### 5/5 — IDEA

*2018-07-01, version 1.62*

-new card that removes the grinder (whatever its called)

-new card that morphs you into a random enemy, and gives you an ability (your choice what the ability is and if it should be different for different enemies)

-more robots so that theres a robot for every theme

-new death card that gives you 500 gems if killed by the grinder

-you can select the drill so that its a certain drill no matter what character you have selected (dont forget the random button)

-new bug themed characters (such as a bee, and not costumes actual bugs that are the same size as other characters)

-water animal themed characters (such as dolphin, and not costumes actual water animals)

-morph card that turns you into a robot and gives an ability (again its your choice what the ability is)

-themes also change the way the grinder and enemies look

-special card blocks will appear and give you a random card if 
you mine it (there will also be a variant called uber card block that will give you a random uber card if you mine it)

-update to the above idea: the regular card blocks will have the color of the type of card inside it (red for enemy, blue for drill etc.)

-enemy blocks will appear and spawn an enemy if you mine it

-you can buy pets in the store and if you put it in a pet spot it will be equipped and unlike cards they last forever, they look and act like enemies but if you touch one you wont die, if you go out of range they will follow you then go back to there regular behaviour once your in range, they only last one round and then you need to feed them pet food for them to come another round, you can buy pet food in the shop or get it by mining a block called the pet food block, you can also get pets from mining pet blocks, they give you what they mined after you die, all the pets behaviour is the same mining pattern as the enemies there based on well in range,  except for the pets based on those pink bombs which will explode random areas well following you and wont die when they explode, pets cant die.

-new card called clone card that clones your character, clone is computer controlled and mines random blocks well following you, cant die and gives you what it mined after you die
