REVEAL: A Game About Digging A Hole™ Together

A Game About Digging a Hole Together is real

Hey everyone, Ben here!

Last year I released A Game About Digging a Hole , a small game I built in just a few weeks as a fun side project while I was mainly working on Solarpunk. I genuinely never expected it to become what it did. Seeing so many people play the game, share videos and just have fun with this little project has been completely surreal.

Thank you to everyone who played it and supported me. You genuinely changed my life.

You wanted to dig more

After release, there were two things I kept hearing from you again and again: “We want more to do” and “LET US DIG WITH FRIENDS!”

So I started thinking about what a second game could look like. I eventually decided to hand development over to my friends at Mi'Pu'Mi Games, who already worked on the console versions of A Game About Digging a Hole and Solarpunk. The goal was pretty simple: Keep the accessible, minimalist formula of the original game, but make everything around it bigger and better.

There was just one small problem. The code of the first game was... not exactly built with a sequel in mind.

So Mipumi basically had to rebuild the game from scratch. That also gave us the opportunity to properly build multiplayer, add crossplay and create a foundation that works across all platforms from day one.

So, what's new?

A Game About Digging a Hole Together keeps the simple idea of the original game, but gives you much more to discover.

Online co op for up to four players Crossplay A bigger world with more playtime per run Multiple terrain types Four tool categories with more upgrades More things to discover and collect underground A completely new beach setting Collectibles to find and complete your collection back at the beach More replayability Plenty of quality of life improvements

You can still play alone if you just want some peaceful digging time.

P.S.

My favorite thing that happened after the first game launched might be that someone made an entire video essay about why men like digging holes , inspired by the game.

I made a game about digging a hole and somehow contributed to the scientific investigation of mankind's desire to dig.
