First I have to thank everyone who have purchased and downloaded "Shovel Duck II: Dig Duck!" I've seen a few videos popping up on youTube; thank you for doing that and for giving my game a go. After developing and playtesting over the past few months it's nice to get it out there so other people can enjoy it (hopefully). Thank you for taking a chance with this little duck-with-a-shovel game.

As per previous updates and the description on the main screen. It isn't just "Shovel Duck II: Dig Duck!" you get by purchasing. You get a number of additional, bonus games.  The first of which should be available in a week or two's time.

 Shovel Duck II: A Minor Panic. The worms are back. Dig holes. Trap worms. Progress through the levels. Sounds simple, right? Hopefully it is!

I mean, they're only worms right? How dangerous can they be?

This is  a single-screen platformer taking the Space Panic / Mr Driller influences from the main "Shovel Duck II: Dig Duck" game and moving them into their own little space. Had there been more than 48K available, this would have been accessed as one of the tasks Bill had to carry out, and the reward for playing would probably have been the opening of one of the mine entry points instead of having to carry out tasks; or it would have been a "mini game" to play for more lives or something similar.

Controls, by default are the same as the main "Shovel Duck II" game, O/P Left/Right, M Jump/Dig. Bill still has the "bounce between platforms" thing going on, but there have been a couple of tweaks to the digging to (hopefully) make it a little easier to dig when you're in the middle of a worm swarm.

Currently I'm designing levels; 10 levels done so far, hoping to hit a good number of screens of increasing difficulty (like 30 or 50). Expect this game in a couple of weeks time. It'll be added to the files you can download; and then I'll start work on Bonus Game 2. Which I'll keep secret for the time being...

Thank you again to everyone who has given my games a go. My next update (unless something needs bugfixing) will be to announce "Dig Duck II: A minor panic!" being made available to download.
