Gotta dig deeper!

You play as a cute golden retriever, and as a dog, you must dig. You might pull unexpected things from the ground, and even make some memorable encounters!

Controls

Use Q and W keys to dig, and the arrow keys to choose an action once you dug somthing up.

I actually had a lot of fun with this. I have a golden retriever which drew me to this. Loved the humor and the gameplay is simple yet satisfying. Good work!

This is fantastic 🐶

I laughed several times, and the digging mechanic really involved me without putting too much pressure.
The pixel art is very colorful, clear and look awesome!

Thanks for the game, I will definitely come back to it to see if I discovered everything!

Small bug: I cannot skip the tutorial on consecutive runs?

Thank you all for the comments, glad it made you smile!

@smelly-games this is one of the greatest compliments you could make lol, it's not really a coincidence we made it with a a GBA resolution.

It was really fun! I liked getting to choose what to do with the things you dig up.

This was a great idea; I liked it! It was simple but felt very polished. I would have enjoyed some kind of score, either time based or how many things I dug up, but even without that it was still fun to play. Great job!

Very funny and cute game. Loved the visuals and the music had that cute general midi vibe that worked with the aesthetic. Great job!

Very nice, at first I thought it would always just be sniff, bark, eat, but it was really fun to see what else little dogo was able to dig up, and the reaction of the things and some of the things themselves were really funny :D Great job!

Very cute! I couldn't resist trying it out when I saw the doggo! And I am happy I did try it, because this was a fun game. :)

Graphics are very cute and funny, the music and sounds are spot on and the gamplay is simple yet you need to pay attention. Well done you guys!

Cute concept. Loved the feel of the digging with both paws. The humor of most of the random objects was also great. Particularly liked the mirror and the other dog. Got repetitive after a while but fun little game overall.

Really cute, fun game. It was fun to try out all the actions and see what the dog would dig up next :)

I like the different options and responses. Like pitching to a mole with a baseball bat. Great work.

Excellent, good timing! Perfect length for a mini fun game.

If I had one thing to add : I would add a badge system to know which of the option I have explored! That would incentivize some replay.

Sweet and enjoyable game. The graphics are superb with lots of nice touches. I think a high score system would encourage repeated plays and reward the hard digging. Great entry.

Great mini-game. The art is amazing, and the game has a nice difficulty curve. The humor is clearly the best part about this. The only "downside" to this entry is the small replayability. But that is being extra picky. The game has a lot to look out for and deserves every minute you spend with it.

Nice simple game that is very well executed! There's not much depth to the gameplay, but it is cute and it has enough juice and effects that it's fun to mash the buttons to dig.
