Doug is a Dwarf. Doug loves digging. Well, actually he doesnt: what he likes is to find buried treasure. Anyway, one day Doug decided to gather as much treasure from as deep under the earth as he could go. So Doug dug. And he dug. And he fought monsters and avoided massive avalanches of falling rock. And then he dug some more. And he picked up lots of bling.

Now its your turn. Help Doug dig deep down under the earth in the quest for shimmering jewels and precious gold. Go farther and deeper than any of your friends. Find more gold than anyone in the world. Oh but watch out for colossal cave-ins. No theyre really colossal—you wont believe it. And creepy monsters. And bottomless pits. Ah, dont worry its just a game.

Do you like Spelunky? Dig Dug? Well cmon you like Minecraft dont you? Well then youll like this. Plus its cheaper. And better. Plus your friends are playing it and you dont want to be left out, do you? Or maybe no one is playing it, in which case youll be the one who introduces all your friends to "Doug dug." Then everyone will say, "Hey look there goes *your name here* who introduced us to Doug dug and who is therefore cooler than the rest of us because he/she discovered it first." One of those two great options is bound to happen.

So what are you waiting for?

Doug dug. Will you?

Pros and cons of Doug dug. app for iPhone and iPad

Doug dug. app good for

great game, lovely graphics i would like to see some kind of multiplayer mode maybe real time :) and more fluid-mechanica like in the amiga classic diggers great work! keep it going

Maybe the developer could consider adding in a D-pad control scheme

For some reason I JusT now started getting into this game after someone mentioning it in touch arcade, its awesome ! =]

I delved too greedily and too deep. Then I awoke the darkness of Khazad-dum! Shadow and Flame! Will dig again

Awesome game - super jeu Always coming back to the game to beat my highest score! Just a suggestion: could be nice implementing some rpg components (character customization, upgrades..), could be an incentive to collect and use all the ore that is digged.. Still a 5 star game

Dear creator of Doug, thank you for keeping updating the game. Its ok to change things! Doug should no cry, Im sure he has some pretty hardcore fans. I know that this is one of my go-to games whenever I need something simple but challenging, often enraging, but always fun!!

Some bad moments

This game has potential, but its very limited so far. Gets boring fast and controls are imprecise and clumsy.

Great game but there is a fatal glitch that makes the app crash after every time its opened. It has been more than 3 months and this glitch has not been fixed.

At first, its hard to see any rhyme or reason to why you got squished, but keep at it. Eventually, you see there is a rudimentary physics engine at work and understanding it allows you to make much more progress. Also, as simple as the audio is, its perfect. The rush and deafening crumble of a large collapse never ceases to thrill me.

Unfortunately, the latest update made it much more difficult to play. The crates that had the helmet, jackhammer, and invincible Doug in them have become nearly nonexistent making progress extremely slow. Ive seen Doug died way too many times since the update. Put it back the way it was. This is lame. Less fun. Im done with this version - and its barely 2 days. I do like the dragon though.

I dont mind the power-ups (immortal, gold rush, jackhammer) becoming somewhat more rare, but this is ridiculous. The last three games I played, I died the same way: I met an ogre and had no power-ups. Thats a situation I cant avoid or do anything about, so that tells me this update was poorly conceived and tested. Until his game is updated again, I cant recommend it to anyone.

This update have a lot of uncomfortable setting. I dont mind the power-up becomes rare spawn. But there is always a big lava waiting for me, when I use magical shovel. There is also a lot ghost, orge, lava or "collapse" happen to me, when I have nothing to recure myself. Less fun. This game is best for me before this update. I hope DEVs can find out the balance of "fun" and "difficult".
