DiggiMeow on itch

Join DiggiMeow, the brave archaeologist, on a quest deep down! Guided by whispers of legend, he ventures into forgotten caves in search of the legendary treasure — a real dinosaur skeleton! With charm, courage, and a trusty pickaxe, DiggiMeow is ready to uncover history... one paw-step at a time…

How to play: 

Just dig… and dig… and dig! Oh - and keep an eye out for hidden treasures.

If you find the game a bit too hard, here’s a small hint — pickaxe upgrades, additional “second chances,” and fireflies are your bros. Take them at the very beginning of the game.

Fun, replayable and nicely polished, good game.

This was so fun!! Loved how you turned the archeology minigame from diamond&pearl into its whole own game loop with upgrades and everything. Played it to the end! The only issue I ran into was wishing I could use the shape of my pickaxe on spots that I had already dug up, but not necessarily a problem, just something I wish I could do. Excellent work

A very tactile game with an interesting progression of digging and stone variety! Love it!
