Digger Dan DX coming to the 3DS eShop this summer
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Four Horses is converting its DSiWare game Digger Dan and Kaboom into a 3DS eShop game as “Digger Dan DX”, the company announced today. It’s currently scheduled for a worldwide release this summer.
Four Horses promises “a fresh new look and improved sound effects” for Digger Dan DX. Here’s an overview of the game:
Guide Dan through 100 increasingly difficult levels digging through earth, pushing rocks and avoiding monsters to collect all the gems in this action puzzle game. He also teams up with his pet gopher Kaboom, working collaboratively to solve more complex puzzles.
As the player digs deeper and deeper through the 100 caves, they will uncover secret gems buried in the earth, unravel the mysteries of the wormholes which transport them around the level, blow holes in walls with the abandoned barrels full of TNT and collect pickaxes to release gems that are trapped in rock.
Some of the caves encountered are flooded with water requiring players to plan their routes more carefully so that they don’t run out of air. Cameras can be used to take snapshots of the level, enabling the player to restart form a given point if they make mistakes or get trapped.
Digger Dan DX will feature all 100 levels from the original game, which have been “re-ordered to introduce new features more gradually.” The four themed areas have new graphics as well. Stereoscopic 3D layers are supported, as well as 60 frames per second and the inclusion of English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch languages.
