I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole. Diggy diggy hole

Ahh, now that song is in my head. Thanks a lot. Now, I must diggy diggy hole!

Heh, that was fun 5 hours for 5 bucks. Cheaper than the arcade.

Well it's brainless fun. After making my index finger sore with all the digging, and worrying about wearing out my left mouse button, I decided to use X-Mouse Button Control (wonderfully useful app for remapping the mouse buttons) to setup the right mouse button (which doesn't seem to be used in the game - so far) to emulated the left mouse button, but repeatedly being pressed. Much easier on my finger and mouse.

For anyone interested, it's Simulated Keystrokes.
Custom keys: {LMBD}{LMBU}
How to send keystrokes = 6 Repatedly while button is down
Auto repeat delay = 10 milliseconds

EDIT: You DO get a better better digging tool later that negates the need for the macro.

I heard it's shovelware. How was I the first to post this? Low standards on my part, I figure.

End Thread.

OK, I picked it up and it is wild. There is way more to this game than digging. It's part excavation, part exploration, and part...well, that would be a spoiler.

Grabbing it now. Thx

Can you run into a mole or a vole in the hole?

I played Teardown to death recently. I had a ton of fun with that game and I got it for around $10 during the Steam holiday sale. Trying to get perfect on every map was a nice diversion.

Crap, I need to sit down and play that. I picked it up a while back.

I thought it was great but I did have to turn off depth of field to keep from getting a headache.

Is this game a comment on current US politics?

Well played good sir. Both sides seem to have dug themselves a hole, a shame we as voters can't just fill them in and start over.

Also, I'll play this if I can either dig through the center of the earth to Japan, and/or into long-buried ruins full of monsters and loot.

Wait, was that a Balrog reference at the end of the video?!

Heh, I am in the same mood as TFP. As of late, I have been playing a ton of KitHack Model Club, Stormworks, and Gunsmith Simulator. Just chill, uncomplicated games where I can build stuff without the game wanting me to manage a dozen systems and a hundred different resources.

Actually looks like some fun chill gameplay. I'm in that mood right now for some reason. Been playing an old (like WinXP Era) jigsaw puzzle game (Jigsaw Puzzle Platinum), which IMO is still the best of it's kind I've ever seen, and let's you create your own puzzles from JPG images.

Also been playing a lot of Airport Mania lately.

Just pleasant little time sinks.

I love me a short <$10 indie game.
