Released on Steam in February 2025, A Game About Digging A Hole is a quirky simulation focused entirely on excavation. The full experience is now available on Android.
DoubleBee developed the game, with Mipumi assisting on the mobile version, published by rokaplay and Headup. Originally created in a short timeframe, its strangely satisfying gameplay quickly attracted attention after the Steam launch.
Following your curiosity, one scoop at a time
A Game About Digging A Hole keeps things straightforward. You've purchased a house, and the backyard is your domain. Starting with just a shovel and no instructions, a subtle suggestion hints that something fascinating lies underground.
While digging, you uncover ores and materials to sell. Use the earnings to purchase better equipment—expand your inventory, acquire stronger tools, buy explosives, or even a jetpack. These upgrades swiftly alter your digging strategy.
That's the core loop: dig, sell, upgrade, and dig deeper. Hostile moles will appear—three of them—attempting to block your progress.
The deeper you go, the weirder things become. A mystery awaits somewhere beneath the surface.
What lies beneath in A Game About Digging A Hole?
Perhaps it's the treasure everyone mentions, or maybe it's something else entirely. Discover rare minerals, secret rooms, and various obstructions. You'll soon realize there's far more happening under your backyard than you imagined.
The developers intentionally used a minimalist visual style. The blocky, clean aesthetic keeps the emphasis on movement and advancement. Colors and textures indicate different depths and materials.
