Our take on Diggerman
The defining structure is two-button arcade mining across five worlds, with hazards interrupting each digging run and a giant mole serving as the story’s boss.
What is Diggerman?
Diggerman is a fast arcade digging game built around a rescue story.
A giant mole kidnaps the protagonist’s sweetheart, sending the player underground to mine through five worlds. Digging runs include hazards such as falling rocks, spikes, spider webs, TNT, lava, and bats. Treasures can be collected and sold for money, while hired workers provide additional support and passive income. Battery upgrades extend the mining setup. The game uses two-button controls and includes a boss encounter against the giant mole. Its structure combines arcade digging, a story ending, treasure collection, upgrades, and obstacle-filled stages.
