About this game

Doug is a Dwarf. Doug loves digging. Well, actually he doesn't: what he likes is to find buried treasure. Anyway, one day Doug decided to gather as much treasure from as deep under the earth as he could go. So Doug dug. And he dug. And he fought monsters and avoided massive avalanches of falling rock. And then he dug some more. And he picked up lots of bling.

Now it's your turn. Help Doug dig deep down under the earth in the quest for shimmering jewels and precious gold. Go farther and deeper than any of your friends. Find more gold than anyone in the world. Oh but watch out for colossal cave-ins. No they're really colossal—you won't believe it. And creepy monsters. And bottomless pits. Ah, don't worry it's just a game.

So what are you waiting for?

Doug dug. Will you?

Ratings and reviews

Played since early 2017. Sometime in mid 2022 I finally got a million point run & that pretty much wraps up my final play. The game has never had any new content added so once you've done something like this that's pretty much it unless you want to go for 2 million. No reason to play it again. The controls will get you killed sometimes pulling you under falling blocks & sometimes blocks fall from above the top of the screen where you can't avoid them. Fun but no reason to play ever again.

Much more frustrating post update. The cave in physics appear to have been changed, so there's no consistency to occurrences. Playing smart in how you dig no longer matters, the system just seems to proc a cave in wherever the invisible RNG tells it to. Please fix this I enjoy the game, but zero predictability to cave ins just kills the fun and provides no reward for thinking strategically.

This is such a good find and after all these years is still strong and addictive. Playable one handed and lots of depth to be discovered once you start to go deep. By the way - just found out you can stand up on tiptoes... sometimes useful to collect gems above you.

What's new

Made monsters a little more difficult. If they land on you, or if they hit you in the back, they'll kill you. Stomp them or face them when you touch them to kill them.
