Why you'll keep digging

Small robot. Big world.

Made for one thumb on each side of your phone: a stick to steer and aim, a button to drill.

Dig anywhere

Tunnel through soil, clay, stone and ember rock. Every block breaks, and the world remembers every tunnel you make.

Light the dark

Torches push back the darkness and keep creatures at bay. Throw flares into the deep, drop a rope and climb back home.

Upgrade everything

A faster drill, a brighter lamp, a bigger bag, a jetpack and a thruster dash. Each one changes how you explore.

Build your base

Turn empty plots into a refinery, a supply depot, a survey tower, a teleporter and a lift, then watch it grow into a headquarters.

Face the guardians

Three bosses guard the way down. Learn their moves, find the opening and claim what they guard.

A world that lives

Day and night, rain and four seasons above; echo stones, abandoned camps and hidden rooms below.

How deep will you go?

Five regions, each stranger than the last

From the roots under your workshop to the ember-lit depths and the ancient Deep Window at the bottom of the world.

The Root Cathedral: giant roots arching over a cavern.30 m

Root Hollows

Where every root meets in one great hall, and something wakes in the walls.

The Stillwater: a glowing underground lake with a waterfall.70 m

Lumen Grotto

Glowing caverns and a lake that never ripples.

The Crystal Cathedral: towering violet crystals.110 m

Amethyst Deep

The singing heart of the deep, ruled by the Crystal Matriarch.

The Deep Window: an ancient hall at the bottom of the world.200 m+

The Deep Window

Past the Ember Depths, the surveyors' last secret waits.
