Obviously we have Terraria and Junk Jack, but I picked up a little freemium title called Pocket Mine where essentially you dig and get various artifacts for your collections. Any other games like this that I'm missing?

Help him dig up stuff to sell (60+ unique diggings) in a race against the clock to pay the mortgage and save the farm (campaign mode). In addition there are 8 mini-game challenge matches, plus open-ended free play mode and even a tutorial game mode for beginners, offering hours of game play. Manage fuel, temperature, and damage while searching for diggins. Sell them at the farmhouse to earn cash. Save cash to pay the mortgage, upgrade your digger, or make repairs. Use the on-screen “analog” joystick, or touch-screen to control digger movement. Watch out for rocks and caverns that disrupt your path. Have fun!

Dig! is pretty decent but has a different gameplay, and you can check out the roguelike Rogue Miner. For something really different but involves digging as well, Super Mole Escape dariusjr98 Well-Known Member Aug 4, 2012 937 0 0 A state in a country in a continent in the world #5 dariusjr98, Oct 7, 2013 You don't necessarily collect resources in this game, but I'd highly reccomend Micro Miners. It's very fun. HLW Well-Known Member Sep 2, 2010 1,355 0 0 UK #6 HLW, Oct 7, 2013 I Dig It HD is also good - the bigger screen really helps. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
