This is a game about digging a hole in the ground and it's just as fun as it sounds, if not more!

It's surprising that with such a simple premise and simple gameplay, solo developer Cyberwave has managed to strike such an exquisite balance between player progression and curiosity to get to the end of the story in A Game About Digging A Hole.

A Game About Digging A Hole is a chill, laid-back game perfect for relaxing without any pressure or real goal. You just dig a hole and upgrade your equipment. There’s nothing special about it, but it doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. The price is low and fits the content, although you can find better games for the same amount. It’s simple entertainment for a short while, good for unwinding, but easily forgettable.

A Game About Digging A Hole is not just a game about digging, it is a small and exciting adventure that combines elements of strategy, exploration and creativity. It doesn't pretend to be complex or epic, but it can give you a few hours of pleasant fun. If you are looking for something unusual and relaxing, this game is definitely worth your attention.

A Game About Digging a Hole is exactly what it promises: a simple, silly and unpretentious experience, but one that delivers honest fun for those looking for something different and without commitment. Its basic gameplay loop — digging, finding items, selling and improving equipment — may seem repetitive at first, but becomes more engaging as the player progresses. The game doesn't worry about guiding the player or teaching them how things in this little world work, which reinforces its casual and straightforward proposal.

A Game About Digging a Hole is a minimalist experience that will not blow you away. However, it is enjoyable in small doses. I liked the straightforward action and the freedom to explore. However, a lack of structural items creates grind. If the developer expands the core idea, this could be something special.

An ok, self-explanatory game, but I definitely left disappointed in its actual payoffs and the end to its story.

I ****...that is what the game is. No false advertising here. More of a tech demo than anything else.

The game delivers on the promise presented in its title. This is indeed a game about digging a hole. Nothing more, nothing less. Yet despite that, it's slightly underwhelming with a shallow and cheap ending. It's filled with annoyances like pixels of dirt staying behind you when you dig. Dynamite bouncing all over the place. Just to name a few.

sure, it's only 5 dollars, but it's legitimately not worth a cent. this is a cheap asset flip that starts out looking like it has potential, but just has far too little content to justify any cost at all. make it free until you intend to release a finished game. it's really not that bad to play, but i finished it in under an hour and was quite disappointed with how quickly it ended. if you like living on timers and harvesting ore, just play subnautica instead.
