We are happy to say that we are bringing Moleman: TBD to Steam under the new title, DURT. We have rebuilt DURT from the ground up to include significantly more block mechanics, new worlds, and a built-in level editor to create your own levels and share/play them with the community through the Steam Workshop. Please consider giving us a wishlist if you enjoyed this prototype!

Gameplay

MoleMan: The Big Dig is a puzzle platformer where you play as a mole that is determined to rescue all of the trapped miners! Currently there are 13 unique levels that slowly introduce you to different blocks and mechanics in the game. The final levels will test your ability to maneuver through the dirt to rescue everyone! If you have difficulty on a level, you can always return to the level selection screen and skip to a different level.

NOTE: There is a known issue with Godot 4 exports for MacOS browsers. If you have issues playing the game in the browser on itch, use the attached MacOS download.

Posted on the jam page and wanted to post here too!


I really like the puzzle design here! This turned out to be a very unique take on a movement puzzle where knowing where your character is and what blocks you can reach ends up being critical to solving each level. Well done!

Love it. Lot of fun. Seems like a couple extra block types and you could make 64 levels :3

Diving into 'MoleMan: The Big Dig' felt like unearthing a hidden treasure in the gaming world. Navigating the 13 levels as MoleMan was a joy – each one a puzzle-packed adventure. The gradual introduction of mechanics kept me on my toes, and the final levels provided a thrilling challenge. Unraveling the mysteries beneath the surface became a personal journey that left me craving more. Bring on more levels!!
