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.

The keyboard fell apart, can you stack it back together? QWERTYS is a fast, friendly puzzle that mashes up Tetris and the QWERTY keyboard. Keys (and little connected groups of keys) tumble into the well and STACK like Tetris blocks — they collide and pile up, they never pass through. Slide each piece over its real home on the keyboard and let it lock in. Land a key on its own slot and it snaps in place and lights up; land it anywhere else and it becomes gray junk cluttering the well. Rebuild the whole keyboard before the stack overflows the top. HOW TO PLAY: - A key falls into the well. Drag left/right (or tap a slot) to line it up with its home. - Swipe down (or hold ↓) to drop it faster. - Land it on its matching slot to lock it in, score, and light up the key. - Miss, and it turns into a gray obstacle — junk you'll have to work around. - Letters keep coming until every home is filled, so the board is always winnable — mistakes just pile up. - Clear a full keyboard row of correct keys for a big bonus and confetti. - Finish all 26 keys to clear the level. Let the stack overflow the top and it's game over. WATCH FOR: - Bomb emojis — drop one onto an obstacle (or a wrongly-placed key) to blow it away and free up space. - Rabbit and Turtle emojis — catch these floating power-ups by routing a piece through them to slow down or speed up the fall. - Lamp Emoji — briefly lights up every key's home so you can aim. - Country flags — a rare flag flips the whole layout (AZERTY, QWERTZ, or a ¡Órale! / Que chique splash that adds an Ñ or Ç). It explodes your junk, re-snaps every placed key into the new arrangement, and plays a little country tune before flipping back. FEATURES: - Tetris-style stacking with a real keyboard twist. - One-thumb touch controls, plus full keyboard support (← → and ↓). - Combo scoring and speed bonuses that reward a steady, quick hand. - Bombs, speed/reveal power-ups, and layout-flipping country flags. - Row clears, rising difficulty across levels, and pitch-ramping music. - Local high scores and a one-tap "beat my score" share. - A quick pick-up-and-play loop, perfect for a short break. Slide. Stack. Rebuild.
