**************
Fallen on hard times, farmer Lewis converts an old bulldozer into a fantastic high-tech “diggin” machine.  Help him dig up stuff to sell (60+ unique diggings) in a race against the clock to pay the mortgage and save the farm (campaign mode).  

In addition there are 4 mini-game challenge matches, plus open-ended free play mode, offering hours of game play.

Manage fuel, temperature, and damage while searching for diggins.  Sell them at the farmhouse to earn cash.  Save cash to pay the mortgage, upgrade your digger, or make repairs.  Use the on-screen “analog” joystick, or touch-screen to control digger movement.  Watch out for rocks and caverns that disrupt your path. Have fun!

### 4/5 — It’s not actually that hard

*2026-06-07, version 1.2.124*

Takes some getting used to, but it’s pretty solid. Good remake of a game I used to play a lot on the original iPad. Lost some enjoyable hours to this game.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.124*

I’m deleting the app, I re-downloaded it reminiscing on something I enjoyed years back but this game isn’t enjoyable anymore with how hard they’ve made it. Can’t I come home from work and enjoy something easy?

### 4/5 — Спасибо за эмоции

*2026-02-22*

Спасибо что позволили вернуться во времена когда у меня был ipod touch без камер с хромированной крышкой. Жаль звук не работает в этой версии и нет водных уровней как в i dig it 2, но все равно спасибо

### 3/5 — Still fun but,

*2026-02-18, version 1.2.124*

So I finally bought this ‘remastered’ version after I had to delete the original app. I have to say that most of the changes you made have largely made the game worse. The sole improvement I can see after playing the first level is that dynamite no longer eats up storage space.  I gave the original 5 stars that’s dropped to 3 stars for this version.

### 1/5 — Bring back the original I dig it expedition

*2025-11-29, version 1.2.124*

I don't know why that game doesn't exist anymore I dig it Expedition was the best.

### 2/5 — Severe balance issues

*2025-08-18, version 1.2.124*

I was a huge fan of earlier games in this franchise, which are regrettably no longer available.  This version is simply not worth it. It has balance issues that make the game near impossible from the start.  Between the necessary upgrades for the early level, not to mention fuel and hull repair costs, making any sort of profit you have completely depleted the earlier levels is simply not viable.

It is regrettable that this game appears to have been abandoned by the developers.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2025-07-22*

Отличная игра, не понимаю хейта. Очень жаль, что убили оценками отличную линейку игр. Нормальное тут управление, вполне легко привыкаешь. Лучшая из игр в серии копания шахты и добывания ресурсов. Мне нравится, периодически переигрываю.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2025-07-11, version 1.2.124*

Why ruin a fun game with this garbage? It used to be such a fun game but now it’s more frustrating than anything. I read the other reviews and thought it can’t be that bad but yes it is. I know this is a really old game but please bring back something like the original.

### 1/5 — Terrible - Do no download!

*2025-06-12, version 1.2.124*

This used to be my favourite game when the original version came out. Just paid £2.99 for the remastered version as they have taken the original away and I blow up constantly! I know the game is old so it won’t be fixed. What a waste…

### 1/5 — Injouable !

*2025-06-07*

Jeu déplorable, inadapté au concept "dig it". À éviter. Aucune comparaison avec la version mise en place avec l'iphone 3. Ce dernier disposait d'un grand terrain d'action, de niveaux différents (terre, banquise, océan...), d'une sauvegarde en cours de partie et surtout d'une très grande jouabilité. Fuir la présente version "remaster ed".
