Did I have fun? Yes. Would I recommend it? IDK. Yes? Sortof? It was a very satisfying way of digging, it felt rewarding. But I really thought there would be a lot to explore and find and such, making it worth it to dig out the pit as much as possible instead of going straight down, but I spent so much time trying to find the treasure and dig out the pit, I spent hours longer than needed, especially as all achievements except the treasure only unlock in newgame+ and I was literally 20min away from finishing despite thinking I had hours more of exploring to do which is why I didn't finish in the first session.

Game is too short, was hoping they would add more content but they never did. Overall i wouldnt recommend it. The game can be beat in a hour, 4 if you dig everything out, sure it's only $5 but to me it was about the principal.
