About this game
Rescue Boggies!
The goal of most stages in a given location is to rescue all of the stray Boggies. Bring them to the Boggie Door to save them & get them on the path back to their homes!
Dig Holes!
Use your trusty iron shovel to dig holes in the dirt to trap enemies, take shortcuts, or reach inaccessible areas! You can't dig through rock though!
Survive.
Now that the Boggies are safe, you must save yourself next. Be careful out there on your way to the Exit Door!
Best Friends Don't Let Each Other Down.
Put retirement aside. Your good boy needs you.
A love letter to the fans of a particular granny that was super.
