Dig×Sweeper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dig while avoiding enemies! Dig x Sweeper, a fusion of mine search puzzle and hole digging game, is born! How far can you dig before you run out of energy? Dig Sweeper is an action puzzle game where you have to dig deeper and deeper into the ground to avoid destroying blocks where enemies are hiding. When you break a block, a number may appear, and this number indicates how many blocks there are in the surrounding area (8 blocks in total) that you must not break (blocks with enemies). Use this number as a hint to find out which blocks contain enemies, and dig deeper and deeper into the ground to avoid destroying them. Collecting coins along the way restores a little of your energy, and you can also use the coins you collect to further strengthen your character. Use your quick judgment and aim for a high score!
