About this game

Digger Classic - The authentic Digger experience.
This version of the good old DOS-game Digger, now on Android, is not a remake, but is based on the Java port (by Marek Futrega) of Andrew Jenner's reverse-engineered open-source version of Digger for DOS. This makes for an authentic Digger experience with exact gameplay, just as you remember it from the good old days. Eg bags will not fall down when moving up on them from below (and you may reverse-shoot when doing this).
The Android port is developed and made available by Runar Holen. It is provided free of charge and with no ads. For more info about Digger, visit http://www.digger.org/

Ratings and reviews

Yep. Had to 1 star it same as a lot of folks. Control placement is TERRIBLE. Makes the game unplayable because your hand can't move fast enough from directional buttons to the shoot button. Should be move on one side shoot on the other side with the game in the middle. And the d-pad should be a joystick instead of 4 isolated separate arrows. And lastly it should have an option to switch it in reverse for left handed people. Fix it and this is easily a fun 5 star classic remake.

Everything is great to recreate the original game - Music, graphics, speed of play etc... until you try to use the controls. It's a 2-handed game that's all setup on one side of the phone.

Please fix the controls ASAP. I love this game but I can't find any control mode that would help me pass the game. I think it is related to the fire button located at the same place as direction arrows. And that the direction arrows have this enormous and useless square in the middle, this doesn't allow the player to move fast from one direction to another.
