Grab your hard hat and your favourite blanket—it’s time to go sub-surface. DigDigDrill, the “Overwhelmingly Positive” Steam hit from solo developer Toorai and publisher Phoenixx Inc., officially makes its way to the Nintendo Switch today, March 18, 2026.
If you’ve been looking for a game that captures the zen-like rhythm of mining without the stress of exploding Creepers or ticking clocks, this might just be your new obsession.
What is DigDigDrill?
At its core, DigDigDrill is a 2D mining simulation that focuses entirely on the “collectathon” experience. Your goal is deceptively simple: dig down to the 999th floor. Along the way, you’ll harvest ores, uncover treasure chests, and discover blueprints to upgrade your gear.
What sets it apart from other mining titles is its “Puzzle Forging” system. Instead of just clicking “upgrade,” you have to fit collected minerals into blueprints—almost like a game of Tetris—to craft the ultimate drill.
Key Features
- Zero Pressure: No enemies, no time limits, and no complicated story. It’s just you, the rocks, and a very catchy soundtrack.
- Hack-and-Slash Customisation: Forge drills with random special effects and enchantments. Want a drill that focuses on massive explosions? Or one that boosts movement speed for quick resource hauls? The build is up to you.
- Deep Progression: While the 999th floor is the big milestone, the game offers additional “challenging stages” for those who want to push their custom builds to the limit.
- Perfect for Handheld: With its simple loop and “one more floor” addictive quality, it’s practically built for the Switch’s portable mode.
