Hole Digging Master Review Cons:
- Cannot remap the controls.
- No autosave.
- The Fall damage is harsh, and the height of it seems all over the place.
- The same music track just plays on loop, and it is very grating.
- Any tutorial stuff is brief, and even then, there isn’t a lot of it to begin with.
- There are still performance hiccups in places.
- Pricing of upgrades and how slow you get money make it a real slog to get going, and you always feel satisfied with the pace.
- The increments of the digging size are so small each time.
- Finding hidden mines and tunnels is tricky, as the device you use is not easy to read or understand.
- Any small bit of dirt that doesn’t get cleared will be a huge obstacle to you, especially when leaving the tunnel.
- It is easy to break and lose a lamp accidentally.
