Fantastic

Thank yall for having no ads. I payed the $1 just as a thanks for letting me enjoy the game without all that nonsense. Seriously looking forward to future updates!

Really fun game I keep coming back to

This is my airplane game. Really fun. Replayable. Everyone in my family loves it including the kids (ages 7,11,14) and my wife.

Lag due to new iOS update

I like this game, I play it everyday during my commutes. However, im not sure if it’s just my phone bugging but it started to be extremely laggy after I updated my software to iOS 26. Would be really happy if it got fixed.

Great but Confusing

Love this game but I’m never really sure if the cave is gonna collapse or not, it seems random, because of that some deaths feel cheap. Maybe if there were check points? Or some explanation of why the caves collapse.
Besides that it’s amazing

Needs better controls

Pretty fun but the swipe controls aren’t ideal. Could really use a directional pad option.

Being at home due to ill health, I’m really enjoying this game. Ty

Great Game but flawed at the paywall @ 500ft

Superbly addicting. Went looking for Dig Dug and found this instead. I was happily impressed. However, when I finally got to 500 feet, it blocks you from continuing on. With almost $100K, I was super bummed. Should be rewarded for getting so far, not charged.

Suggestions

I do enjoy playing this game but it also seems to have no further progress. Would be sweet to see upgrades for Doug and or tools that stay or you have to spend in game money on.

Great little game

This is one I keep coming back to. Simple fun of digging. Taking risks. And dying a ton in funny and crazy ways. I hate the ghosts and wish I cold start at a higher difficulty but still fun all the same.

The best

My favorite iOS game for many years and probably forever

?

Great game, until you have to pay to continue

Addictive

As a teenager I loved playing Dig Dug in the arcade. This game is extremely similar and really fun to play. However the latest update 1.6.11 has introduced a lot more crumbling ground to contend with, and definitely gave the game a new challenge! Not sure if I like all the ground collapsing around me all the time, because I've lost count of the number of times where I was getting ready to have a great big payday and all of a sudden the ground dropped out from underneath me. The squish factor has definitely been upped as well!

Best Game Ever

Please give us Doug Dug 2 or at least some updates and more lives!!!!! Pleeeeeease

purely perfect game

it does exactly what all handheld games should do: simple gameplay, no timer, allows one to challenge one’s self a little for a casual minute or consider complex strategies for the deep dive turn when you have 10 minutes - and losing that turn is no big deal. *Phit* needs to be updated to work again too! PLEASE!! it was equally a perfect game!

Perfect

Cleaver, interesting, challenging. Effective game mechanics, beautiful aesthetics, all well executed. While most “games” are an excuse for ads, this is a real and with no ads!

2 player co op

Best game. Extremely replayable

The latest update fixed my brothers older iPad’s crash on opening app. 99 cents is a very fair price to pay for a game that has legs! I play this 20 or more times every day. I am hoping the developer adds new items to game in the future. Maybe tnt with a way to detonate from a safe distance, or a backpack to hold 2 items. Only 1 thing I wish they’d do: make the reward text ( the ones you get for quickly getting 3 or more of an item) smaller! Frustrating to die from an enemy behind the words! Update! Game still has annoying glitch. Numerous times I fall onto a spider and die!

really good

Despite this game’s simplicity, I like that it still has depth (pun intended), with the creatures and items interacting to create additional hazards or fortuitous opportunities. It definitely reminds me Spelunky - learning to avoid the myriad “dumb ways to die” included, haha.

Really, really good

[January 2024] Update - still got this installed and still playing it on a regular basis. Still a great game.

[21 March 2017] Update - I'm still playing this game a lot, on both phone and ipad. It is one of the few mobile games that actually manages to *feel* like an arcade game from the eighties, and that is a huge thumbs-up as far as I'm concerned.

[6 Feb 2016]I've been playing this one for months, just can't give it up. Pure 'one more go' arcade action that feels like a game from the golden age. It still gets great updates, such as the most recent one, to continually tweak the enjoyment factor. No IAPs... highly recommended.

Been playing this game for years

I love it. This game deserves way more players. It's great! Been playing for years. it's my go-to game when I need a short distraction. It never gets old for me because it's always both a challenge and some luck. My high score is 153k and 1096 meters. Not sure if that's good. I'm also not sure how to kill the orges except by jack hammer or invincibility. Is there some other way? Dragons and bombs don't seem to do it unless it takes a ton of them
