For grown-ups
Squishy Dig is a game for iPhone and iPad that is still being made. This page says what it is and what it is being built without.
What it is
You bounce a jelly ball off a paddle into a pit of wobbling jellies. Every hit takes a bite. The little squishies buried inside poke out, pop free and fall, and catching one on the paddle keeps it for your collection. Most of them are foods; the rare ones are animals.
You pick a sidekick to play with, from a cast of seven characters, and a paddle and a ball. There are seven worlds of six levels, each looked after by one of the sidekicks, a story that runs through them, and numbered levels to keep climbing once the story is done. A level takes a minute or two.
It is forgiving. Each level gives you three balls, and good catches earn more. If they run out, nothing is taken away: what you caught stays caught, and the next try starts with an extra ball.
What it is being built without
- No ads.
- No accounts, and it never asks who is playing.
- No chat, and nowhere to type. The sidekicks only say lines we wrote.
- Nothing that is bought by chance.
- No streak that can be lost by missing a day.
- Nothing about the player is sent to us.
It works with no internet connection.
When
It is not out yet. This page will say when it is.
