Perfecting Minecraft's most satisfying bit, $5 sandbox game hits 1,000,000 sales

There are increasingly fewer things you can get for just $5 nowadays, but one of 2025’s most simple and satisfying sandbox games makes the cut, and it’s already proven a winner for more than a million eager players. A Game About Digging A Hole is, well, exactly what it says.

Now, developer Doublebee says it’s “speechless” as it crosses the seven-figure milestone.
