May 11, 2021Game Competition Entries, Podcast, Show and TellKnox Game Design

Knox Game Design had two great entries for Spring ’21. The theme was Deeper and deeper. Let us know if we missed your game entry and we will add it to the list!

Delve Inc. by Jacob

You play as a dwarf in a hastily constructed drillship delving deep into an abandoned mining plot to search for much needed metals. However, the new inhabitants of the plot are not to keen on you invading their territory.

Digmania by Levi

Help Mr. Digger dig as far as possible into the earth. Pick up the shovel to start digging. Pick up additional shovels to speed up digging speed. Avoid the enemies as you dig. Get hit three times and the game is over. Enter your name for the online leaderboard.
