a lighthearted, fast-paced arcade puzzle game where you guide a pixel worm through dirt to collect treasure with increasing difficulty.

What players say

Players say it is a simple, addictive puzzle game with retro graphics and adorable sound effects, comparable to Dig Dug. Most enjoy the challenge, but some players report a bug in the post-game challenge mode that has not received a developer fix since release, cutting the full content. Players split on whether the difficulty ramps fairly or becomes frustratingly random.
