Dig the Dog

by coreloop

Dig the Dog is a clicker game about digging. Uncle Rudy's dog Biscuit dug a hole in Rudy's lot and got stuck at the bottom. You dig down through 60 layers of blocks to get him out. Then an old map he found down there sends you on to the next dig. How it plays You click blocks to break them. Each block you break gives you money. When every block on a layer is gone, you move down to the next one. Deeper layers have harder blocks that pay more. You spend money on upgrades: a stronger pickaxe, crit chance, crit damage, an auto-clicker (Hand Drill) and drill rigs. Rigs are small machines that dig blocks on their own while you click. You can have up to six, and one skill adds a seventh. The first dig to the bottom takes about an hour to an hour and a half. The three sites after it take about two to three hours more. Skill tree There are 62 skills in four groups. More of them unlock as you reach layers 12, 25 and 40, on your second dig, and when you reach the Junkyard and the Old Quarry. Pickaxe: hit the blocks around the one you click, extra damage on stone, instantly break almost-broken blocks, and Frenzy (click fast to fill a meter, then every hit crits for a few seconds). Rigs: better drill bits, faster cooling, rigs that go for ore first, rigs that dig the block under your cursor, a seventh rig. Fortune: a bonus for every cleared layer, interest on your money, treasure chests hidden in layers, lucky hits worth 10 or 25 times more. Biscuit: after you find him, Biscuit helps. He shows where chests are, digs blocks with you and finds bones worth money. The Junkyard and Old Quarry rows have skills for the new blocks: triple damage to crushed cars, scrap that pays double, TNT blasts that reach two blocks out, and rigs that set off crates. Rig skills also change how your rigs look: new bits and new colours. After you find Biscuit The first dig ends with a short scene at the bottom and a results screen. Biscuit's treasure holds a torn corner of Old Bones' map, and it points to the next dig site: the Orchard, 55 more layers under an apple orchard, with roots, mossy rock and gold. After the Orchard comes the Junkyard: 50 layers of brick and buried cars. Scrap pays a little every time you hit it, and crushed cars only break to your pickaxe. Then the Old Quarry: 60 layers of limestone, silver and coal, with TNT crates that blast every block around them. You pick where to dig on the map on Rudy's table. You keep all your upgrades and skills, and you can dig a cleared site again to beat your best time.
