Free Major Expansion! Return of the Chompys

Welcome to the New Frontier, Prospectors!

Howdy frontier miners! Welcome to the new update, the Return of the Chompys. We are releasing a long waited update with tons of different features! For Free! New endings, new gameplay methods, new enemies, and most importantly, MORE CHOMPYS!

Please welcome the new addition to our Chompy Family. Hellraiser Chompy, Punk Chompy, and Miner Chompy!

Hellraiser Chompy

is a demoniac monstrosity from the hell dimensions! He’s big, mean and spiky, and make no mistake: this guy is here to hunt you down! You better run as fast as you can to get out of its sight.

Punk Chompy

might not be as terrifying to look at, but she’s definitely bringing the chaos! Armed with Molotov cocktails, this Chompy will destroy everything on her way. She’s the definition of rebellious and unpredictable. I guess this is the result of being overworked.!

Miner Chompy

is the other side of the coin. Similar to the original Chompy in the first Cave Digger, this guy will team up with you in the mine. He can dig out walls for you, and deliver riches straight to your account. With Miner Chompy around, backpack space won't be a problem and I'm sure he will become your favorite companion in no time.

We added RUN GENERATORS so you can now decide what perils await you in the mines deep below. Will you find more riches? Get more enemies? Find natural disasters? The elevator now has a run generator that allows you to roll for run modifiers before heading down into the mines. This means that you’ll have some control over your prospecting work in the search of riches.

But of course we’ve added more than just Chompys to the game. A new mysterious enemy type is stalking the caves, the Drone Construct. These ancient devices will often remain cloaked until you step too close. Keep your eyes open and prepare to deflect their plasma blasts! They are a guardian of the Eerie Ruins, and will try to stop any intruders to the mysterious halls and caverns there...
