DIG EMBER v1.01

The sky belongs to them: gunships, carpet bombers, transport planes

dropping troops right on your head. The ground is yours — all 800

tiles of it, and every single one can be shot, drilled or blasted

into someone's face.

DIG EMBER is an endless side-view survival shooter about choosing

your ground. Hold the surface and trade lead with the waves, or dig

straight down and fight in tunnels you carved yourself. The enemy

doesn't mind. Once you go underground, infantry start chewing their

way down after you, and the portals keep feeding new things into the

dark.

When you die — and you will — the bounty you banked buys permanent

upgrades. The next run starts with a faster drill, a bigger magazine,

and bullets that punch through one more wall.

FEATURES

- A fully destructible 80x800 map across four biomes: mountains,

  forest, a half-ruined city, and a plateau with a very long cliff.

- Noita-style water and lava. They flow, pool and pour through the

  tunnel you just opened, and cancel each other out on contact.

  Underwater means a breath meter. Lava just means damage.

- 16 enemy types: riflemen, shielded breachers, rocketeers, tanks

  that rocket-jump into your tunnel, strategic bombers dropping a

  bomb you can shoot down mid-air.

- Weak points. A soldier's head, a tank's rear — every enemy carries

  a spot that takes double damage, with a beat of hit-stop and a

  small camera lean to let you feel it land.

- Friendly fire is on for everyone. Every explosion hits every unit,

  including the enemy's own formations. Use that.

- Supply crates fall under gravity and can be opened from range.

  Shoot one, see what's inside, then decide if it's worth the walk.

- A reactive soundtrack that shifts between calm, sneak, combat and

  danger as the fight changes.

- Blood, debris and scorch marks stay on the map (adjustable in

  settings). A long fight should look like one.

- 34 permanent upgrades. Six languages. Your best wave is saved.

  Beat it.

Controls: WASD to move, mouse to aim, left click to fire, right

click to dig. That's the whole tutorial.
