How to play
Dig with the pad, a swipe, or the arrow keys. You dig slower through fresh dirt than through open tunnel — plan your escape routes. PUMP (button, Space, or X) fires your harpoon at a monster next to you. Once it hooks, keep tapping PUMP to inflate it — four pumps pops it. Stop pumping and it deflates… and wakes up angry. While you pump, you can’t move. That’s the risk.
- Pookas (goggles) just chase. Fygars (dragons) breathe fire sideways in tunnels — it’s telegraphed, so run!
- Monsters slip through solid dirt as ghost eyes, slower — they solidify again in tunnels.
- Dig under a rock and it wobbles, then falls — crushing anything underneath, including you.
- Drop 2 rocks and the round’s veggie appears in the center, for 10 seconds.
- The last monster speeds up and tries to escape off the top-left. If it gets out, the round still ends.
