Diggy
About Diggy
Digging downward is the entire loop in Diggy, where an astronaut with an oversized drill burrows into the Moon in search of minerals worth carrying back up. Depth costs fuel and time, and the deeper strata hold both better ore and harder rock, so every descent is a judgement about when to turn around. Money spent on drill, hull and fuel upgrades between trips is what makes the next layer reachable. The pixel art has a grubby, hand-drawn charm to it, and the odd creature waiting in the dark makes going one layer further genuinely risky.
How to Play
- Drill downwards through the lunar strata, collecting minerals as you go.
- Watch your fuel — running out before you resurface ends the trip.
- Sell what you have hauled up and spend the money on drill, fuel and hull upgrades.
- Return deeper each run; the valuable ore sits below rock your starting gear cannot cut.
Diggy FAQ
How deep should you go on an early run in Diggy?
Only as far as your fuel comfortably allows a return. The upgrades that make deep runs viable are bought with ore you actually brought back, so an aborted greedy dive sets you back further than a short cautious one.
