I Dig It, a $3 game from with a, is a beautifully-drawn and very popular game in the App Store.Go Deeper: The joystick on right controls your movement in I Dig It, and the gauges on the left measure fuel, temperature, and damage. (And yes, southpaws, there’s a left-handed mode, too.)The game’s storyline certainly feels reasonable in today’s economy: You need cash, and you’re tasked with digging underneath a farm to find various gems—referred to in the game as diggins—to make the mortgage each month. Along the way, you can use extra cash to buy newer equipment and tools. Your digger is a (heavily) modified bulldozer.As with visuals themselves, controlling the digger is a thing of beauty. There’s an on-screen joystick on one side, and a series of gauges to monitor on the other.

(The game cleverly offers a left-handed mode so that southpaws can play conveniently, too.) Sliding the controller moves your digger in the chosen direction, and you can even propel it upward through already-drilled pathways. I’ve never liked a virtual joystick on the iPhone as much as I like this one. It’s smooth and responsive.Those gauges are exceedingly important, too: You need to keep an eye on your fuel level, temperature, and overall damage; let any of them get too far in the red, and it’s game over. You’ll need to slow down your drilling to keep from overheating, and things get even hotter the deeper you get.
As you suffer hull damage or run low on gas, you’re forced to rocket back up to the surface to pay for repairs and upgrades, or top off the tank.And there are tons of upgrades. You can buy more powerful drills, strengthen the digger’s shell, and even buy dynamite to blow up rocks that are too tough to dig through. Of course, each upgrade comes with a cost, and when you need to make a mortgage payment, every penny counts.Much of the fun in I Dig It stems from keeping those levels under control, coupled with strategizing the best path to secure the most diggins with minimal wear and tear. The bank’s coming to repossess the farm in just four hours, so you need to scour for maximum pillagings, as efficiently as possible. (You’ll need to earn $100,000, which is no small task—retrofitted bulldozer be damned.) The deeper you dig, the more valuable the gems you’ll discover But of course doing so uses more fuel, incurs more damage, and takes more careful planning.This “campaign mode” is surprisingly deep, and continued mastery takes a long, enjoyable time. Impressively, I Dig It adds to its offerings with a robust set of built-in mini games. Challenges like scoring 100,000 points within 15 minutes, or exploring all over until you can find a spare tire, are as fun as the main game.

And some, like finding 100 coins in an underground maze before times run out, I actually even enjoy more!I Dig It Lite offers a scaled-down version of the game’s main campaign. It’s fun, but I urge you to cough up the cash needed for the pay version to unlock the full game, the challenges, and “free play” mode.

Forward to the Current ENGLISH Discussion Ana_Drobot Wednesday 29th of November 2006 12:52:21 AM 'I dig it': Could anyone tell me please what does the phrase 'I dig it' mean? I have an example below: 'I Dig It When You Have A Smile On Your Face' (Van Morrison) Danial Wednesday 29th of November 2006 01:40:12 AM Usually, 'I dig it' can mean either 'I get it', 'I understand it' or 'I like it' So in this context it mean, 'I like it when you have a smile on your face.' Hope this helps :) Danial stefan616 Wednesday 29th of November 2006 11:19:54 PM 'I dig it', has a much stronger meaning than 'I like it' in this context. The phrase is similar to 'dig deep down' which means to find/search for something that is hidden inside yourself, maybe you found strenght inside of yourself during a crisis, that you did not know you had. In this instance, he not only 'likes' the smile, he feels very strongly about it also, it 'digs' into him, meaning he feels it in a spiritual way. I do not like this phrase myself, or the usage of 'dig' in this manner. The first time I heard this 'you digg?' I did not understand what it meant. I would generally try to stay away from slang like this. 'Dig' can also have sexual connotations, I am sure you can figure out why. lesombresdeschats Saturday 13th of January 2007 04:47:31 PM 'dig it' simply means to really like something or think it's 'awesome' or 'cool' If you said 'dig it' in America no one would think anything sexual about it. However, no one really uses the term 'dig it' anymore. It is very outdated slang. I am an English native. If you have more questions, please let me know :) Shawn Anonymous Tuesday 20th of February 2007 04:14:04 PM 'A Plum in your Mouth: Why the way we talk speaks volumes about us' by Andrew Taylor (pg.134) '...the West African language established itself for some time as a common tongue among many slaves in the Southern States. It also brought a few words of its own into the language, often through the medium of black music - the Wolof hipi means to see or be aware, and survives in English as hip, while the slang dig, meaning to like or to sympathize with, comes from the Wolof degg, to understand.' In Ireland we sometimes use 'dig' but it more than likely comes from the Irish phrase: 'an dtuigeann tú mé?' (do you understand me? pron.: un digin teu may) so one might say in English: D'ya dig me? - I dig it! (Do you understand / get it? - I understand / get it!)
