🕹 Editor's notes
Boulder dash fans may find Digging Jim quite familiar as it contains similar game elements. For instance, the objective remains the same: the Player must collect diamonds while confronting different obstacles at each level. In short, you can refer to it as the modern-day Boulder Dash.
Digging Jim was developed by Persei Entertainment in 1999. Here, a small fluffy ghost Jim is introduced and its home planet Akturien. It is keen on exploring caves, more like a treasure hunt facing different obstacles and challenges.
Reminiscence of Boulder dash
It's pretty commendable how the creator of this game conceived the elements of Boulder Dash and infused their style. It's more colorful and user-friendly. The game concept is simple and basic.
In the cave, you have to face various obstacles like monsters, falling objects, solving challenging puzzles, and more. It's smooth with good color graphics. The game also features an editor where you can design or create your own caves.
It has impressive sound quality and good music. The scroll button is smooth, allowing easy movement. Note that this game is not a remake of Boulder Dash but somehow makes you feel a sense of similarity. With each level, the task gets more complex with more challenging obstacles.
The game is fun and leaves you on the hook. Since it's a commercial game, only twenty levels are possible in the shareware version. You can switch to the full version through registration, where you will get a unique code.
Overall, Digging Jim is a delightful game that leaves you quite nostalgic. This game is for all ages and is a stress reliever too. Well, it can leave you in despair, but that's the fun part of the game. Try this game if you're new and immerse in the world of Jim and its planet.
