Game of the week: Dig-N-Rig

(DigiPen, free for Windows)

While “gamification” has become a buzzword, thoughtful designers have reduced the importance of imposed goals. It’s easy to get your digging bot to the centre of the earth and see the perfunctory win screen (you wrecked a civilisation for that?). The fun is in constructing a complex (though unfortunately near-linear) system to get deep minerals to your colonialist overlord. Suggestion for the commercial version: the world is a sphere.
