Ground Digger Game

Ground Digger puts you at the controls of a heavy drilling rig and sends you straight down. Every run starts at the surface and pushes deeper, chewing through dirt and rock to expose gold chunks, gems, and rarer minerals the further you go. There's no jumping or dodging to learn, just a drill, a hole, and whatever the ground is hiding.

Choose one of three routes before you start, since each one leads through different stretches of ore. Whatever you haul up funds tool upgrades, and a stronger drill is what makes the next descent worth attempting, since the valuable stuff sits behind tougher rock the deeper you go.

Controls

• Left mouse button (or tap on phone/tablet): dig — hold it down to keep the drill moving

Tips

• Spend early earnings on a drill upgrade right away — deeper layers are noticeably tougher than the surface stuff.
• The three routes aren't interchangeable. If one is turning up thin, back out and try a different one next run.

It's a good fit for short sessions where you just want to watch numbers go up: no story, no combat, just dig, cash out, upgrade, repeat.
