How it plays
How does Digger play?
Each level presents a diggable underground maze containing emeralds, gold bags, and enemies. Digger tunnels through the soil, collects treasure, and uses emerald shots or falling objects to clear threats.
The objective is to gather the required valuables and survive the pursuing monsters. Progression becomes harder as enemies move more aggressively and safe routes become less forgiving.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Digger?
Plan an escape route before opening long passages. Keeping some soil intact can slow enemies and preserve a safe retreat.
Use gold bags and narrow corridors strategically. Lure monsters beneath unstable bags, then move away before the bag falls; save emerald shots for situations where escape is difficult.

Before you begin
What should you know before playing?
- 1
Avoid digging aimlessly: a connected tunnel can give monsters a direct route to Digger.
- 2
Collecting treasure quickly is useful, but survival and an escape path matter more than a risky pickup.
