About Astro Digger
Astro Digger is a single-player HTML5 arcade game. Meet Astro Digger and help him do what he came to do on alien earth by collecting gold and minerals. There are lots of distractions on his route, move him while planting bombs and using teleport if you get stuck. Use arrow keys or swipes to take control of fearless Astro Digger.
