Dig Big

Game still in active development

Dig smart, find gold, and conquer the wild West!

DIG BIG is a puzzle game set in the deserts of the Wild West. Your goal? Dig for gold while managing your limited shovel digs. Each level features a grid where you must find hidden gold, using visual clues to guide you and avoiding dangerous obstacles that will cost you digs.

As you progress, discover powerful tools to help you:
• 🔫 Revolver – Digs an entire row.
• 💣 Dynamite – Explodes and uncovers a large area.
• ⛏️ Pickaxe – Grants extra digs.

But watch out for penalties that can reduce your remaining digs. Between levels, spend your earned gold at a cowboy-run store, where you can buy relics that enhance your abilities and customize your playstyle for the next challenge.

With roguelite-inspired mechanics, DIG BIG offers high replayability, encouraging players to experiment with different strategies to maximize their chances of success.

• Strategic Digging Gameplay: Use your limited digs to uncover gold before running out of shovels.
• Power-ups and Relics: Discover tools like the revolver, dynamite, and pickaxe, and buy relics that enhance gameplay with bonuses like extra digs or improved tools.
• Roguelite Mechanics: Every run is different, allowing you to explore new strategies with each level.
• Wild West Atmosphere: Experience the gritty Wild West with visuals and sounds that immerse you in the frontier setting.

In DIG BIG, players dig through a grid representing the Wild West desert. Each tile may be empty, hold gold, contain a bonus, or trigger a penalty. With limited digs per level, you must choose wisely where to dig. Visual clues will help you locate key elements like gold or traps.

As levels become larger and more complex, you can use power-ups and relics from the store to optimize your strategy. Each run offers new challenges and encourages different build combinations to tackle the increasing difficulty.
