About this game

Rusty can explore the mine by hacking away dirt with the pick-axe.
The goal is to find treasure and additional equipment which is required to be able to proceed in other areas, e.g. a drill allows to break stone.
However, those gadgets require water which can be refilled at water reserves which can be found in the mine.
Other obstacles are traps, enemies, switch puzzles and platforming sequences.
It is also advised to watch for rocks - when Rusty removes dirt under them, gravity comes into play.
The found precious metals or gems have to be sold on the surface - fortunately there are teleporter and elevators which shorten the way - for money which in turn is used to buy upgrades (e.g. more health points or a bigger capacity for carrying treasure) or equipment (e.g. dynamite for killing enemies, ladders or lanterns).
Some upgrades additionally cost energy balls which can be found inside the mine.
After dying, the people on the surface repair Rusty against a fee.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks SteamWorld Dig for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding SteamWorld Dig to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2013.
