Digging Down

As per expectation set by the developers, the game is short. One could probably finish the game in a day (or less) if playing actively. The game itself is simple, and the experience is linear. Progression is mostly just "numbers go up", with little variation on upgrade selection (or "builds"). There isn't a grandiose story to be had, but the snippets of lore seem thematic to the game's minimalist presentation. [spoiler]Starting a New Game+ introduces an in-game feature where you can adjust the game speed to make it faster (even more for every new game+). Nothing changes much with the game itself should you do this, but it is a handy way to try and get all the story endings.[/spoiler] UI seems to be reliant on scrolling (options: mouse wheel, arrow keys, pg up/down, home/end) so some folks might find that awkward. There are no IAP's, thus what you've paid for is what you get. Probably good for keeping yourself busy for a couple of hours should you need the distraction.

I'm not far along in the game at all, but... I mostly got it because I really like Idle Wizard. So far, it looks pretty cool! Nice graphics, cool little back story. The interface is nice. It appears to ride that fine line between being complex enough to be engaging, without being overwhelming, and not being too easy & basic, so as to be boring. It seems like the bulk of negative reviews about ALL idle games comes down to its either too long/too short... But that's neither here nor there. Whatever tho- if you like idle games, you'll like this, I believe. And, if you're into Idle Wizard, Id say buy it to support the dev, if nothing else. Plus, you get some Idle Wizard swag, as well... p.s. I really liked the fact that Idle Wizard had Linux support (hint hint) :-) EDIT: Less than 24 hours after posting this review, the Dev got in touch to point out that he had set up a Linux port! Thanks so much!

Well made finite incremental / idle game. Progression has good pacing, active play is rewarded a lot, but is not required to finish the game. You have some strategic choices on how and when to use your ressources. Soundtrack is vibing too. Also very worth to check out their other game "Idle Wizards" which is literally the best idle game on steam.
