How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About DigDigDrill
You dig down with a drill that breaks the rock by itself: you just move, collect ores and chests and head up when your bag is full. Back on top you forge new drills by fitting the ores into a blueprint like puzzle pieces. The goal: floor 999.
