I wish they would make another entry of the dig series. I really enjoy that style of gameplay.
Same! Dig 2 was sooooo good. And there aren't many like it really. Searching for all the powerups, making notes about spots on the map. Loved it. Dig 3 would be an instant purchase for me, I hope they get around to it next after Build.
I would have been pretty close to perfectly satisfied just adding an "endless mode" DLC that randomized areas and did something to make power up progression feel bigger. I used to play the hell out of the browser mining game motherlode and this is the first example of mining feeling kind of similar that I can think of.
Thanks for unlocking a memory for me! I played so much motherlode — I think my friend and I discovered it in the school computer lab. It had a great soundtrack too!
It does seem to exist on steam. I haven't pulled the trigger, but they made a different very different looking version, and if you dig down to the description it says it includes "motherload goldium edition". I have it on my wishlist to buy if it's ever discounted a bit in a steam sale, but the newer game doesn't appeal to me enough to spend $15.
It is quite a bit different, but as far as games that scratch the "mining" itch, I found this to be really fun -
