DIG IT! - A Digger Simulator
Developer Cape Copenhagen
Do you love that moment when the engine starts and that rich diesel sound fills the air? Do you get a kick out of moving earth with a variety of high-powered diggers, bulldozers and dump trucks? Do you yearn for the feeling of power that flows through you as the hard steel of the bucket digs into the earth while you remain in keep... From the Steam store page

The idea of a digging company would be to create a digging site for a big major contruction company or even mine a location down to size for money. Sadly, this game dosent have that. In my short play through this is what you get. You get a sandbox, where size decides how big your vehicles are, not the size of the location your working on. The location you work on is overly small with options to only…

For the most part, the stick controls are correct. It does feel like a real excavator. So all my skills and nuances translated perfectly into this simulation, albeit a few changes. The controls for the tracks, however, don't feel right because of the right shoulder used as a modifier. It just feels weird pressing that then the sticks. The digging aspect seems nominal at most. You…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best digger sim I ever tried! Im using an XBOX One controller and it works perfectly, the two joysticks work just like the joysticks in a real excavator and the feel is actually pretty impressive considering its "just" a game. One thing that annoys me is, that the right joystick left/right is inverted on the excavators, so that the bucket tilt outwards when u move the joystick left and vice versa, while it shd be the other way around. U can easily invert the bucket control under settings, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not too bad a game Decent Physics The level rating system could use some tweaking and one of the buckets needs fixing Fun game full and fun enough to keep you busy for a little bit
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game, worth the price! Graphics and physics work pretty well and the sounds are great. Vehicle models are well done. If you want to dig then this is the best I've ever found. GunninGamerz on YouTube/Twitch
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Graphics are nothing that would wow you, but this Digger Simulator deserves the name more than any other of those so called Digger Sims out there ( except maybe the professional ones but they are hundreds if not thousands of Dollars) The Controlls work well especially if you use a controller or like I do, rudder pedals and two Joysticks, which really enhances the experience. I have played it now up until Level 6 and it seems that the progression is a bit too easy. I would have wished for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →most intense f*cking game 100000/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only had a quick go, so far very impressed. Once you get used to the controls, digging becomes second nature. Great physics. Great graphics. Think Car Mechanic sim with diggers!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I write this on the 27th October, almost two weeks after release. No patches yet. I might change my view later if the developer decides to upgrade Dig It! to something better, but I doubt it. This game has the potential to be a nice game. But it isn't a good game as it is when I write this. The areas you can "work" in, are so small you would belive it is an actual sandbox. You can hardly turn your vehicle inside some of the places (reminds me of Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me, where he…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite an interesting game, I must say. I've gone through the most digging games and simulators and I must say I enjoy this one. The gameplay is solid, the controls are good especially if played with a controller (Altho the big truck could use some remaps) and there are quite a lot of machines. Physics are good too, but sometimes the bucket thinks it's empty/full when it shouldn't be. The only thing I really wish was different is that the plots were bigger. All in all a great game, and if they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DIG IT! A Digger Simulator is a great simulation game. The game has good physics and gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJglwQpOv0w
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good overall i guess.......at times can be a little rage inducing. Wish there were more levels but then again it is only a week old.... For me, i am a actually operator in real life it was extremely hard to use the jeyboard controls but once i pluged in my controller it became much easier due to the fact that the joysticks were laid out similar to my machine in real life. The missions take to long and are very hard to complete being accurate.... also the judgeing system is very harsh 10 mins to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the best game ever cant stop playing it just love it needs a truck and trailer to load the machines on
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a great game for someone that wants to simply move dirt. it's not a sim, just fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is barebones, the UI is a bit uncomfortable to look at, and the controls can be a bit touchy. The dirt physics are also erratic, not always behaving consistently
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't change controller bindings....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please don't purchase this game unless you want to have extreme amounts of regret everytime you see its name in gray in your library.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you want to know why i like this game its because its endless you can dig or make a parkour cores i can t spell but listen its so fun to paly if you creative and the a machine in the sandbox that. eats the earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but for anyone doenst like thin game can f off sure is has bad graphics and its not worth 20.00 bucks id by this for five bucks or free buts the are the only flaws i have found i think this game could beneifit form a multiplayer why because you could put your ferinds…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IT'S A good laughth has about ten hours in in but 15 if you play poroperly, dont buy if you dont lke simulations. I would like to multiplayer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Oh sweet, an excavator simulator. Perfect for my 2 joysticks!" Except that the game does not support it! All the effort to make a "simulator" that does not support twin joysticks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compete Garbage! Eqiupment is all the same, Sound effects are genaric from machine to machine, No phisics. Digging is all you do. No digging physics, it appears that the holes and dirt piles are just props that switch out for larger ones as you progress digging holes. Boring boring boring. Not worth the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing like the real thing at all
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad.. good graphics.. running a xbox controller so that's cool with two joysticks.. Anyone know how to assign boom to the other joystick as its on the wrong side?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good but plz add a backhoe
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, just wish I could change the controls! Also the devs abandoned the game lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. Shocking game! I absoultley love it so much. I'd give it a 8/10 I honestly can not stop playing it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like this game a lot ! fun to play ! if u like excavators buy it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Go and take a perfectly good 20 dollar bill and flush it down the toilet and watch it swirl away with some poop and pee. DO NOT BUY THIS BROKEN AN INCOMPLETE GAME. You can not get refunds and if you try to do a chargeback on your credit card steam will cancel your entire account. Criminal! CRIMINAL!!! Just send me 20 if you really feel like spending money today. PLEASE DO NOT BUY and add money to some losers pocket!!! F THIS criminality!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this a Good Game well I think so. This Game is quite a Digger Simulator it's got a selection of different vehicles, It's Realistic there are plenty of jobs to do in this game aswell from Digging, Loading a Dump Truck, Bulldozing and Flattening and even tidying up the Construction Site if you feel up to it, You get More Reward Money if you do that! You can name your Company what ever you want and the name of your company will be on your vehicles. The Down Sides... I do think the Controls…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont buy this wannabe "game". controller scheme is broken. cant select between keyboard or controller preferences. thats a no-no.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →does not work with joy sticks
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess you have to be a certain kind of a person to like this kind of game . I am, so there! Play with a controller if you can, it's a little painful using keyboard and mouse.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you like big machines you will love this highly recommend but maybe some better physics
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is way to expensive for a game that is this limited because all you do is sit there and dig a hole in a big or small digger and thats it. i would not pay 14 pounds for that
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only been playing it for a short wile but it works fine for me and just what i was looking for - lots of angles to view - proper controls so all good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best £2 I've ever spent
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im glad i bought this game very good with a german milf to play with jk get actually dabed on .DIg it more liek ♥♥♥♥ it sim.This games controls is like going outside which is very hard and i dont do it.SO lets get warmed up I knell before you, my breast bound tight and my hands tied behind my back. “Say it,” you order quietly. I lower my eyes . “♥♥♥♥ my mouth,” I reply almost in a whisper. “Look at me and say it.” You correct. I look in your eye and repeat, “♥♥♥♥ my mouth “. “Better” you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a good game overall, only i have one problem with it. It Doesnt support dual joysticks... so the digging experience (if you need it to be as close to reality as real operators, like me, or just want the real deal) it sucks... This game would have been soooo Killer you could use dual joysticks. Now its up to you if you want to buy the game. Its a good game, just not if you want it to feel realistic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes it's excellent
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game but i wish they would support dual joystick controlls like t.16000m joysticks and attack 3's etc
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Satisfied my obsession with excavators. Don't want to operate one for a living anymore. This stuff is hard
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game surprised me. (In a good way) The missions are quite reminiscent of Construction Simulator 2015 (minus some of the freedom for example, there is no material collection) Great game for about £3 (Summer sale) Just dont get it at full price. (Otherwise it would have been a thumbs down from me xD)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've only played the sandbox so far. Honestly, not much to do but drive around and dig. I mainly got this because my son (3yo) is in love with construction vehicles. From a game standpoint, not the best. From my standpoint, its worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No dual flightstick support. I can not recommend this game for that reason alone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gotta say, you try once, youve seen it all then. Not recommended for HC simulation fans, as there are no enviroments to try machines out, and the borders are so small. Just go and by a real thing for your sandbox.... Or maybe a real Komatsu/Hitachi simulator... x)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like it a lot
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The bad control settings and options are really killing this good low budged sim game. Though, there is a key map on the hud, but the settings are fixed, scatterd over the keyboard and do not really resemble the control arrangements of real machines.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look at the credits its like a 10 man team to make this XD why is the sand box mode a 10x10 area with 5x5 of trucks inside. XD great for my kid to mess around with for 5 mins thats it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Garbage - Controls are complicated af
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could have been a great game. This could have been an awesome game that allows you to experience what its like to use some of these big digging machines, but the developers managed to screw up the one thing they really needed to get right: the dirt physics. Somehow it is possible to both create and destroy dirt. This game doesn't really seem to model the dirt volume. It is based on getting the surface of a 2D mesh to the right height by adding or subtracting dirt. However with some of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions: its a cheap digging game from 2014. It is exactly as it seems. The controls are kinda wacky. They definitely arent top tier but i assume real machines arent either (plus you can rebind in the launcher iirc). Graphically and Audio-wise its kinda bad. Not totally bad but it kinda hurts to look at. Was also dissapointed there were no mods for this game. I wouldve expected maps/levels at least
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game would not work for me. In the Sandbox the view kept spinning and I could not make it stop. There was no way to change the control method. Both these problems have been reported by other people. Clearly others do not have these problems so it is a bit of a lottery if it will work for you. Found an excellent alternative - Demolish and Build 3 Demo - that worked without any problems and is free at the moment.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ran Heavy Equipment all my life. I'm now retired but enjoy just playing this virtual game, good memories!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is vary good if u want to drive a excavator or bulldozer or skid steer or mining excavator or dump truck it has u covered
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a great game but ruined because of no internal camera, bad way of controls and not even mention the option of using joysticks. + why is there time on this game when you can't even complete one mission at 10 minutes because your struggling with the controls.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You dig holes. You fill holes. Somehow you even have fun. I went into this with relatively low expectations and this game quickly exceeded them. I ended up playing through the most of the missions and unlocking all of the vehicles over the last couple days. It's a chill, casual construction vehicle game with missions that take 10-20 minutes. The core gameplay involves using your digger (Or other vehicles) to manipulate certain dotted grounds. White dots mean you need to dig deeper, red dots…
