Digger Classic
- The authentic Digger experience.This version of the good old DOS-game Digger, now on Android, is not a remake, but is based on the Java port (by Marek Futrega) of Andrew Jenner's reverse-engineered open-source version of Digger for DOS. This makes for an authentic Digger experience with exact gameplay, just as you remember it from the good old days. Eg bags will not fall down when moving up on them from below (and you may reverse-shoot when doing this).The Android port is developed and made available by Runar Holen. It is provided free of charge and with no ads. For more info about Digger, visit http://www.digger.org/You may also play Digger online at http://www.futrega.org/digger/

Yep. Had to 1 star it same as a lot of folks. Control placement is TERRIBLE. Makes the game unplayable because your hand can't move fast enough from directional buttons to the shoot button. Should be move on one side shoot on the other side with the game in the middle. And the d-pad should be a joystick instead of 4 isolated separate arrows. And lastly it should have an option to switch it in reverse for left handed people. Fix it and this is easily a fun 5 star classic remake.
Love the game but like others have said, the controls make it impossible to play. Control pad at the bottom middle would be ideal
Amazing retro game. Takes me back to the mid80's as a kid. Only issue is that it screws up the audio for other apps so after playing I have to kill the processes/game manually (samsung s9.latest android)
Please please move the controls. You won't believe how much time at college was waisted playing this game. Never got passed level 9 though.
5 ★s for accurate nostalgic 80s throwback game! Desktop is much more satisfying but hey, there's only so much that a smartphone can do for a DOS based program!
It brings back memories when I played the PC version and modify its data file to get more lifes using Pascal in late 1980s, thank you for redeveloping this classical game on phone.
The control arrows are not user friendly. They should be located where it is easy to find without moving your eyes to seek for them. So pity
It was the first game I ever player on my PC and loved it. Control buttons position makes it impossible to enjoy it.
Please fix the controls! This game is soo much fun on computer, I would love to be able to play it properly on my Android!
The controls are terrible. Very hard to control, makes it pretty much unplayable.
Very nice game ,many thanks for redoing it,I like its special music ,pls check if u can do more to update to facilitate controls or to slower the game cutsomising its speed, .many thanks again ,love u
Childhood favorite, used to get well past level 20 on the computers that gave you radiation. Artic was another good one. Anyways theres a lag on movements
4 star as control can't as need. thank to make it on device friendly. As I play first game on PC is digger. love it lot at that time.
I was told this was an old version and needed to see if there was an upgrade and there is not uninstall I shall. And that is a pisser! I was looking forward to this game
Why would you arrange the controls in such a clunky way? This could be a Play Store top app if it had a normal control scheme.
Best game ever...was favorite game growing up and still is HOPE this exact IBM game is addictive as hell still only level 4 once :-) If have to be honest better control keys would be better plus I'm left handed so yeah.......thanks Rubberducky79
unplayable because the controller is so uncomfortable. it should be exactly like the keyboard and fire should be located where F1 is located
This was a very addictive game. It was very fun! The controls the world little bit hard I didn't like them very much.:-(
Games really fun you can get used to the controls
good old time game, but very bad controller. they should correct the Arrows to increase user experience
Controls are pathetic... How I can keep on pressing the screen.. follow finger is also not impressive... Please be innovative for controls
Given 2 stars because my controls kept freezing. Have rebooted my phone tonight so if it runs OK then I'll re — rate it
Unless you have an actual keyboard it's useless. Still, nice port of the 80s game.
Wanted to love it, but as others have said, the controls being on one side is a huge issue.
oldschool game, the best game. but too bad the controller button is not good, hard to use.
Top game but control is bad 👎 which is only 3 🌟 ratings.....shame really.....
This game is so garbage and it's so terrible and the theme music is sound horrible I hate it and it's hurting my ear
Please fix the controls ASAP. I love this game but I can't find any control mode that would help me pass the game. I think it is related to the fire button located at the same place as direction arrows. And that the direction arrows have this enormous and useless square in the middle, this doesn't allow the player to move fast from one direction to another.
