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.
Siren Strait
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drag to sail. Let go to fire. Survive the wine-dark sea. Siren Strait is a bite-sized naval roguelite set in the age of Greek heroes. Steer your warship with one finger, drop anchor to unleash auto-aimed broadsides, and carve through pirate fleets, ramming dinghies, and sea-lord bosses. EVERY LEVEL, A CHOICE Clear the fleet, sail into the maelstrom, and pick one of three gifts of the gods: multishot, ricochet, chain lightning, Greek fire, Poseidon's wrath and more. No two voyages build the same. YOUR CREW IS YOUR LIFE Rescue castaways mid-battle. Every crewman aboard takes a hit for the ship - lose them all, and the hull is next. FIGHT THE LEGENDS Polyphemos, Scylla, Charybdis and the Siren Queen bar the way every five levels. PLUNDER THE DEEP Bank gold, stockpile rare gems for the finest gifts, hire extra hands, and dress your trireme in the Harbor Shop. One thumb. Endless seas. How deep can you sail?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Siren Strait at none against Doug dug.'s 1. Siren Strait also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Doug dug.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
