A Game About Digging a Hole is a minimalist experience that will not blow you away. However, it is enjoyable in small doses. I liked the straightforward action and the freedom to explore. However, a lack of structural items creates grind. If the developer expands the core idea, this could be something special.

Ultimately, the gameplay is the same from start to finish. Dig for a while, fill your inventory, fly out of the hole, sell your ores, upgrade if you can afford it, go back in the hole. You start to feel like you’re living Groundhog Day.

Now, A Game About Digging A Hole keeps it simple and fun. It doesn’t try to do anything too wild, which I’m okay with. The game knows what it wants to do and I Dig it. The only improvements (well, more like suggestions) are to add some secrets while digging or maybe bones. Other than that, the game is enjoyable and great for killing some time. So I would recommend it and I think it deserves A Thumb Culture Gold Award.
