Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

An excellent app, recommended by Leo Laporte!

I Dig It is a wonderful application. It is almost a port of Motherload, a flash game from a couple of years ago. You are some sort of bulldozer with a drill mounted in front and rockets on the bottom. Your mission is to dig tunnels through the 2D ground under your farm to mine ores, crystals, and artifacts. Money earned from 'diggings' is used to buy fuel and upgrades. There are a number of scenarios and campaign missions, some of which are slated to take 2 hours to complete. I've easily put 10 hours into this game, after maybe 3 weeks of intermittent playing. The worst part of the game is the sound, which is largely composed on engine noise (there is no mute option). Gameplay is fun, with a hint of tactics and a whole lotta digging!!
