Doug is a Dwarf. Doug loves digging. Well, actually he doesn't: what he likes is to find buried treasure. Anyway, one day Doug decided to gather as much treasure from as deep under the earth as he could go. So Doug dug. And he dug. And he fought monsters and avoided massive avalanches of falling rock. And then he dug some more. And he picked up lots of bling. Now it's your turn. Help Doug dig deep down under the earth in the quest for shimmering jewels and precious gold. Go farther and deeper than any of your friends. Find more gold than anyone in the world. Oh but watch out for colossal cave-ins. No they're really colossal—you won't believe it. And creepy monsters. And bottomless pits. Ah, don't worry it's just a game. Do you like Spelunky? Dig Dug? Well c'mon you like Minecraft don't you? Well then you'll like this. Plus it's cheaper. And better. Plus your friends are playing it and you don't want to be left out, do you? Or maybe no one is playing it, in which case you'll be the one who introduces all your friends to "Doug dug." Then everyone will say, "Hey look there goes *your name here* who introduced us to 'Doug dug' and who is therefore cooler than the rest of us because he/she discovered it first." One of those two great options is bound to happen. So what are you waiting for? Doug dug. Will you? Visit http://youtu.be/GZazFfw_O7A to see how it plays.
Orb 3D
Read full descriptionHide full description
Orb 3D is a fresh take on the classic block-stacking puzzle — played on a rotating cylinder instead of a flat board. Pieces fall onto an 18-column ring that wraps all the way around. Spin the world left or right to position your piece anywhere on the cylinder. Clear a full ring of 18 blocks to score, and place 100 pieces to conquer each level. GAMEPLAY • Cylindrical 18×15 board — every row is a complete ring • Classic 7 tetrominoes — I, O, T, S, Z, J, L • Rotate the world to move pieces around the cylinder • Spin, hold, and drop pieces with one-handed virtual controls • Fill a complete ring to clear it with an explosion animation • Place 100 pieces to advance to the next level CONTROLS • World Left / Right — spin the cylinder to align your piece • Rotate — flip the falling tetromino • Hold — save a piece for later • Drop — tap to step down, hold to soft-drop fast • Tap the center of the screen to pause FEATURES • Neon 3D rendering powered by Metal • Satisfying haptic feedback on every action • Explosion animation when a ring is cleared • Adjustable camera — zoom and shift the view to your liking • Clean, minimal interface that stays out of your way
