DIG AROUND & FIND OUT is a solo-developed arcade-style digging game built as a personal tribute to my grandparents, with characters inspired by them. The game has no defined story—players are free to interpret the experience in their own way. Its design focuses purely on gameplay: simple, intuitive mechanics that make it easy to pick up and play immediately. Each run can be as short or as long as the player wants. You can jump in for a quick attempt or spend time refining your strategy and pushing for a higher score. The challenge comes from going deeper, managing your upgrades, and improving with each run. At its core, it’s an endlessly replayable high-score game that rewards both casual play and dedicated grinding, all built from the ground up by a single developer.
