01
The core loop
Summary
In short
Every session follows the same rhythm: dig deeper, fight what shows up, grab what you find, and keep moving toward the boss.
The game is not just about holding a button and watching a hole grow. Enemies appear as you go deeper, items are scattered through the layers, and new areas open up the further you dig.
- Digging this is your main action; it moves you into new areas
- Combat enemies appear underground, so be ready to fight
- Item collection pick up everything you find
- Sound turn your audio on
- Goal reach and defeat the Dwarf Boss to find the treasure
