User Reviews

Reviews praise A Game About Digging A Hole™ for its unique, thought-provoking concept and visually striking, calming presentation. Players enjoy the satisfying digging loop and the game as a compact experience. However, many note the game is short with an abrupt or unclear ending, which lessens the impact. Technical and UX issues appear across reviews: clunky touch controls, lack of a solid save system, occasional performance problems (frame-rate drops, throttling, black screens), and limited controller support. Overall, a strong concept with high presentation that could benefit from more content, steadier saves, and refined controls.

Pros

Unique concept with a philosophical, zen vibe around digging a hole
Visually stunning graphics and a calming, beautiful presentation
Satisfying, relaxing digging gameplay that many find stress-relieving
Compact, self-contained experience that some players feel is worth the price

Cons

Game is very short and ends quickly with an abrupt or underwhelming ending
Save/Progress issues: no reliable save system and progress can reset on new runs
Touch controls are clunky or unresponsive and not customizable
Performance and stability problems: frame-rate drops, throttling, black screens
Controller support is limited or missing (e.g., Backbone support requested)

Recent reviews

this game was the best. I absolutely loved it, but the moles were a bit scary. Besides that it was great. I only got one achievement though.

A 2hr game, a fast ending that doesn’t reward your time wasted, then forced you to start fresh after wasting time maxing out all your gear. No ‘New Game +’ type of reward. You unlock achievement/trophy hunting after beating it. Wahoo…

When playing A Game About Digging A Hole™️ I had fun digging a hole, I found the treasure and beat the game, the idea is a very unique one. And the storyline is beautiful, the graphics are visually stunning, and the gameplay is just as interesting as the gameplay. But, when I finaly dug the hole, it was sad that it all came to an end, but I enjoyed my time with it. This really was, A Game About Digging A Hole™️.
