It's still a wip, obviously.

It plays like Dig Dug, but it's more puzzle-oriented, where you need to dig a hole to grab a key buried in the ground then go back to the surface to open the locked door. The player can jump and climb (both of these actions have a range of one block).

To limit the player's movements, there's a limited number of wood pillars and ladders. The wood pillars need to be placed when making long horizontal tunnels so the dirt won't fall and crush you. You can break it to strategically drop the dirt and solve certain puzzles.

The ladder allows you to climb stuff higher than one block of height. You can tie two or more of them to make a longer ladder. You can take a previously placed ladder to reuse it later, too.
