Dig down. Dig sideways. Dig over the edge -- and the whole world turns under your feet.

DigHex is a tunnelling arcade game played on one giant hexagon. Walking is digging: every step carves a tunnel through the dirt. Tunnel over any of the hexagon's six edges and the entire board spins to meet you, so you are always standing flat and "down" is always the heart of the hex.

The DigHex title screen: PLAY, the digger, players, LOAD and UNLOCK over the hexagon

Round 1: tunnels carved through the dirt of the giant hexagon, with the touch stick and FIRE button

Round 3: a lava pocket broken open at the heart of the hex

Choose your character: Hex, Deep, Stem, Dread, Honored and Seed

Round 6: deeper and harder, with lava spilling toward the hub

Round 9: a deep board threaded with tunnels and liquid pockets

Mac The same route on a Mac: the grown-up question, the unlock sheet, the purchase, and all six diggers opened.

The ghosts are coming

Haunted Space Hotel ghosts hunt you through the tunnels you dig -- and when a tunnel will not take them where they want to go, they turn to vapour and drift straight through the dirt after you. Fend them off with the gadget you start with, and pick up bigger ones along the way.

Let the world do the work

Dig out from under a boulder and it falls toward the hub, onto whatever is waiting below. Break into a buried pocket and whatever is inside spills out: water, lava and oil. Water and lava make steam and solid stone. Oil and lava make a very big bang.

Power-ups

A beaten ghost sometimes leaves something behind: a burst of speed, a wider dig, a shield, a freeze, double points.

Six diggers from the Haunted Space Hotel

Every one plays differently. Hex is the fastest. Deep swims. Stem walls off the tunnel behind it. Dread eats dirt and makes boulders. Honored walks through fire and lava. Seed can hit a ghost even while it drifts through the dirt.

Round after round

The board grows deeper and harder. Six save slots: stop mid-round and pick up exactly where you left off. Touch controls, keyboard or a gamepad, in portrait or landscape.
