Beaten on the highest difficulty with 3 gold stars and in just under 9.5 hours. I don't really know what to say about this game, and I don't really think anything could give it proper justification with how much it means to me. But - no exaggeration - every time I replay it, I end up appreciating it even more. It's genuinely incredible how this game really encapsulates pure fun. All I know for a factct is that I could not possibly be more excited for Heist 2 :)

It absolutely can't be overstated how formative this game was to me as a kid. Bias aside, I can't think of many things it doesn't do well at. It's an experimental metroidvania, and while Dig 2 becomes a full-fledged one using the excellent foundations here, the core gameplay of Dig 1 is so solid that I almost prefer it at times. Only wish is that it was longer and maybe a little more replayable, but that's what Dig 2 is for. Get it now while it's on sale for a dirt cheap price :)

Despite a few issues, mostly on the technical side, I really like this game. Wish the text font and camera were a bit better but other than that I have no complaints. I absolutely love the aestethics otherwise. Guess I wish I was better at the game so I had more of a reason to revisit and improve lol, but it's a strong recommend if you like platformers or have sentimental attachment to, like, weird PSP games.
