The speedruns for this game are insane

“That was my favorite mug.”
“…now it’s in The Hole.”

Isaac Newton is one of those people who got called dumb due to the apple falling of a tree concept.

Gotta love the quote “If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid” truly a game that fits this description

[dokushi]

The ones hating are the same people that play COD and Madden and ignore the obvious garbage they get from EA and Activision

[thenobledarkshinobi]

his mechanic just worked so well to make a great gameplay loop

[gamafin]

“Created an insane mechanic : dirt being removed in a circular way with no physic”

[TheGreatPapyrus]

I feel like at the end, when you finally dig deep enough, you should find a temple, and it turns into a horror game where you're running from a ruined god who was left abandoned and unsupported

[zucc]

anybody who's mad about this success is just a jealous loser who will never be successful

[The_Pixel]

This is proof that creativity is more important than graphics

[Shadow-niwm]

a game about flying is going to be crazy

[JakeJAZ]

Bro it’s fun as hell, and that solar game looks awesome

[elisamuel]

I AM A DWARF AND I'M DIGGING A HOLE, DIGGY DIGGY HOLE, DIGGING A HOLE!!!

Or more accurately....

DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!?!?

[ShieldWolfy]

Considering I used to dig holes in the backyard when I was a kid, it makes perfect sense why the game sold well.

[fullyrandomuser]

It’s mainly because of the glitches. There is a glitch where you can literally delete parts of the map using a lamp

[madukes_G]

After i play this, i hope she digs me 😂

[therealdude]

Big game industries are so bad people would rather go shovel dirt for hours. I hope a paint drying sim beats out triple a games some day

[nugget]

People that got mad are just confused and upset about the volatility of people’s attention on the internet: it’s never where you expect.

"i am a dwarf and i'm diggin a hole, diggy diggy hole"

Dev should acknowledge his inspiration from the classic flash game Motherload tbh. Pretty much the 2d version of this game with the same fuel/storage management mechanics, upgrades, hovering etc.
