About Route Digger

Route Digger is a dig-and-guide puzzle: you carve away earth with a drag of the mouse, and gravity carries a ball down whatever channel you've made toward the goal.

It looks free-form but isn't — dig too much and the ball falls straight past the target, so the interesting problem is digging the minimum needed rather than the maximum you can.

How to play Route Digger

Dig
Click and drag through the earth
  1. Drag to dig channels through the terrain.
  2. The ball falls under gravity through what you've dug.
  3. Guide it into the goal.
  4. Collect stars along the way where present.

Route Digger tips

  • Dig the minimum path; over-digging removes the walls you need.
  • Leave ledges to slow the ball rather than letting it free-fall.
  • Plan the whole route before the first drag.
  • Restart rather than trying to patch a bad dig.

Route Digger — questions

What's the challenge?

Digging as little as possible. Removing too much earth takes away the walls that steer the ball, so the ball falls straight past the goal.

Are there collectibles?

Many levels place stars along optional routes, which need a more careful dig than simply reaching the goal.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — drag to dig. Nothing to install.
