A Game About Digging A Hole was released on Steam in February 2025. This quirky simulation title focuses entirely on excavation, and now the full experience is available on Android.
Developed by DoubleBee with Mipumi handling the mobile port, it’s published by rokaplay and Headup. Originally built quickly for Steam, it rapidly gained popularity due to its oddly satisfying core loop.
You just keep digging and follow your curiosity
A Game About Digging A Hole is straightforward: you’ve purchased a house with a backyard where the action unfolds. Armed only with a shovel and no instructions, you discover hints of interesting things beneath the surface.
Digging reveals ores and materials to sell for cash, which funds better gear like larger inventories, stronger tools, explosives, and even jetpacks. These upgrades transform your digging strategy. The loop is simple: dig, sell, upgrade, go deeper. You’ll also encounter three hostile moles that try to block your progress.
But the further you descend, the stranger things become, with a mystery awaiting below.
What’s the mystery in A Game About Digging A Hole?
Is it the legendary treasure others whisper about, or something else entirely? You’ll uncover rare ores, hidden chambers, and obstacles as you realize there is more beneath your backyard than expected.
The developers have intentionally simplified the visuals with a blocky, clean style to emphasize movement and progression. Colors and textures are used to distinguish different depths and materials.
Check out the game on the Google Play Store. Also, be sure to read our next scoop on Social Narrative RPG Bloomtown: A Different Story Set.
