help Digger FAQ
How do you defeat enemies in Digger?
The player can shoot monsters or crush them by dropping gold bags through the maze. A shot requires time to recharge, so tunneling and manipulating the bags are central survival mechanics.
What happens when a gold bag falls in Digger?
A bag drops after the soil beneath it has been removed, and a sufficiently long fall breaks it open into collectible gold. The same falling bag can kill monsters or the player.
Who created the original Digger computer game?
Rob Sleath developed Digger for the Canadian company Windmill Software. It first appeared for IBM PC compatibles in 1983 as a self-booting disk.
Why is Digger often compared with Mr. Do! and Dig Dug?
Like those arcade games, Digger combines maze excavation, pursuing enemies, and environmental tactics. Its falling gold bags particularly echo the strategic object-dropping play associated with Mr. Do!.
