Dig-Pit Runner (Playdate) + free Demo
A downloadable game
Dig-Pit Runner
Action horror platformer about a treasure hunter trapped in the cursed mine pits of a remote island, forced to descend deeper into an ancient underground labyrinth to escape the horrors lurking in the dark.
Explore collapsing tunnels, forgotten shafts and underground temples as you search for a way out. Every step takes you further into a maze filled with deadly traps, unstable floors and things that hunt by sound and movement.
Different types of enemies will stalk you in the dark: beasts hiding in narrow passages, venomous creatures in the walls and relentless guardians of the island’s secret. Use ladders, ropes and fragile platforms to stay ahead of them – or be cornered with nowhere to run.
Find hidden artifacts and strange relics that unlock new paths, shortcuts and abilities, helping the hero dig deeper into the labyrinth – and maybe survive long enough to see the sky again.
Run forward, don't look back!

Hi, this is Patricio Land, congratulations on this new release!
I'm running a magazine called Cranko! (full paper, old fashioned style) that's is having a great support from the Playdate community. As I'm working on issue 5 and I'd like to contact you to have some inside info about the development of your game. The game looksfantastic!
Let me know if you're interested in sharing a few words on the matter. Thanks a lot!
