About this game

Dig Dug: Digging Strike brings the classic digger back for a dual-screen adventure on Nintendo DS. Players explore 3D environments on the upper screen to locate fault lines, then dig on the lower screen to connect them and break apart monster-infested islands.

Classic enemies such as Pooka and Fygar return alongside new bosses. Careful timing and planning are essential, since poorly placed fault lines can trap Dig Dug as well as his enemies. Rolling rocks, quicksand, and flowing lava add hazards, while weapons and items can stop enemies or guide them through tunnels.
