Deep Digg Overview
Deep Digg was one of those games you'd find tucked away on a Flash portal in the mid-2000s. It didn't have a complicated story or fancy graphics. It was just you, a grid of colored blocks, and a steadily draining air meter. The simplicity was the point. You loaded it up in your browser during a study break or a slow afternoon, and for a few minutes, nothing else mattered but the next dig.
You control a little miner, moving him left and right with the arrow keys. Your job is to dig downward, clearing colored ore and solid rock by pressing the spacebar. The main objective is straightforward: reach the bottom of the mine. The tension comes from the air system. In the standard mode, your air depletes with every action; digging a tough rock costs more than clearing soft ore. You have to plan your path, because if you dig out a block supporting the ones above, they'll collapse. Getting crushed means starting over. The pace is methodical but urgent, a constant calculation between speed and careful excavation. It feels like a quiet, pressurized puzzle where every move has a cost.
