Dig Dog Out
SCORE: 70
Dig Dog Out is an indie game similar to
Dig Dug. There are differences of course. Like we play a dog character
who is trying to get all the bones on the screen. The dog has some kind
of a weapon that can shoot the enemy characters - like mice. Dig Dog Out
does not let families climb up holes they have dug. Dirt is needed to
move up.
It is really easy to have your puppy die in Dig Dog Out. He can get
smashed by rocks, fall too far, and come in contact with enemy
characters. When this happens an angel of your doggie floats up to the
surface. Expect to die in Dig Dog Out at a regular interval. Thankfully
there are passwords to the start of the last level we completed. Which
means we have to replay that level again.
I ran into one odd glitch while playing Dig Dog Out. I would play a
level and get a GAME OVER screen. My dog was still alive, there was no
on screen timer that I saw, and I could access the rest of the bones on
the screen. So I have no idea why the game stopped me from playing.
Dig Dog Out contains cute graphics of objects and characters. Shooting
the mice produces a skeleton and then a pile of ash. That is the depth
of the violent content in Dig Dog Out. This Personal Computer game can
also be found on the iOS platform. For families with an iPad and/or
iPhone. I am not aware of any cross platform functionality.
The controls in Dig Dog Out can be a bit laggy. Stagnant is the word
that comes to mind while I was playing. I hate not being able to climb
up holes I created. This gave Dig Dog Out more of a strategic feel as
oppose to the arcade feel of Dig Dug. I also am baffled why the game
would just stop me on certain levels with no explanation, hint or help.
The music in Dig Dog Out is nice. Smooth and serene while we are digging
around in the earth. Dig Dog Out has quite a bit of promise for indie
developers and the future.
