Dig Donkey Kong Bananza? Check out this new hole game next
The article discusses a new game called Mashina, which follows the recent trend of games that focus on the joy of digging. Mashina is a lo-fi, stop-motion animation game where the player controls an egg-shaped robot on a mission to gather minerals by digging holes in a 2D mine. The game's progression system and gameplay loop are similar to Steamworld Dig, with the player upgrading their tools and abilities as they explore the underground. While the game has some rough edges, such as a clumsy building system and a repetitive third act, the article praises its surreal, handcrafted visuals and the sense of being a "night shift hero" working to keep the world moving. Overall, Mashina is presented as a chill, satisfying alternative to the more bombastic Donkey Kong Bananza, with a focus on the simple pleasures of digging.
