DigDug was one the first games I play on arcade machines as a child. Love the reference! Very nice story, even two games in one. Great job done!

Wow. Epic game! I enjoyed how short and polished it was! I really enjoyed the stress of running away from Dug! Great wordplay!!!!! GG! I enjoy it a lot! If you have time could you check out my game?

I hope that ending means we're going to seeing a sequel at some point, that was a really fun little twist!

Brought back memories of playing Dig Dug on Atari 800. This was a neat take on the game.

Hah! What a great way to not only subvert these classics but also to tie them together. Excited to see if you expand into Asteroids for the next installment.

Wow what a twist, would love if you could push others citizens. But all in all great stuff!

Great twist on two classic games. Helped me realize how much of a monster Dig Dug is. The ending cutscene was creative and a nice touch too. I think the missile defense part could use some tweaks. Maybe make the ships bigger so they're easier to click on.

I actually liked the gameplay!! It was a little hard in the space ships. I loved the music too!
