JUST DIGGING

JUST DIGGING is a mobile game teaching about the importance of nutrients in the well-being of the earth. The game has 25 distinct levels where the main task is to collect phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium from the ground and process them into the soil. These nutrients are essential for the plants to grow in real life too.

There are three antagonists in the game; the fisherman, the hedgehog and the thunderstorm and all of these have their distinct features on how to meddle with the game.

The thunderstorm and the rain will flush the nutrients off from all the unfinished blocks of soil. When visible, the hedgehog will catch the worm, if it enters the ground level. The fisherman will stay away from the worm grounds, if the soil is healthy. When the soil is unfinished, the fisherman will come and look for worms and hit the ground with The Great Shovel. There is a warning sign and a siren noise to warn the worm to dig deeper to safety.

The game starts with an easy level where the only task is to collect nutrients and process them into the soil, while avoiding the hedgehog. The levels ahead will introduce the rest antagonists of the game. In the end all antagonists will show up more frequently and all in the same level. The aim of the game is to collect as many points as possible and every second left in the timer of each level is worth a hundred points, so every second counts!
