About the game
You and your friends dig a deep hole in the sand at a beach and see what is down there. You collect ores and other finds, sell them for money and spend it on better tools. Upgrades change how wide the hole gets and how fast you dig. The goal is a treasure said to be buried far below.
Up to four players can dig together online. The game shows how far away the others are, so you can all work on one spot or spread out and cover more ground. You can also play alone if you want a quiet dig.
The maker wants the same easy, stripped-down feel as the first game and describes playing alone as relaxed digging. Co-op adds your friends and a bigger world to dig through.
