Support the Dig

Hi! I'm the one human (plus a bit of AI) who dug this whole game out of the ground. It's finished, it's free, and it's staying that way — no ads, ever.

Honestly, you enjoying it is the whole point for me. But if you ever feel like tossing a snack into the burrow anyway, there'll be a button for that right here soon.

Toss in a snack

Once someone tosses the first snack in, I'll thank them right here. 🦡

Privacy

This site doesn't use cookies or third-party analytics. No ads, no trackers of any kind.

Some data stays local: your browser stores your scores, your progress, your editor saves, and your language preference using localStorage, right on your device.

If you set a high score, your initials and score are sent to a small database so they can appear on the global leaderboard for everyone to see. That's the only thing that ever leaves your device — no other personal data is collected.

If that ever changes — for example, if some form of analytics gets added — this page will be updated to reflect it before it happens.
