Summary
Dig Dog is already a play on the game Dig Dug so it’s only fitting to say the gameplay is much the same. The formula is the same but the actual mechanics are different with every level feeling like a speed run event, enemies jump around and its all a lot faster. I like that you can unlock new palettes and it does mix it up a tad but overall its a short decent time waster that lacks any longevity.
