Launch of Dig, Dig!


Just finished this new digging game, hope you enjoy!

This game was inspired by play in the Underground in Pokemon Platinum.  As a young boy I was strangely addicted to the feeling of hammering away at those little pixelated dirt walls to find some buried treasure.
Pokémon Platinum - Sinnoh Underground

I quickly realized that I could use Bitsbox to quickly create my own little version of this lovely little minigame.  Though I'll admit that the project turned out to be much harder to program than I had anticipated!  The two main challenges were:

  1. Let the tool break the blocks in a cross-shape on the screen
  2. Randomly generate the positions for the treasures such that they did not overlap

I'm more or less satisfied with the final product.  Though I will say that I don't think the game is well balanced and needs more play testing and feedback to tweak the numbers into a good range.  Feel free to play it and drop your comments on what you think could be improved!
