Howdy, Diggers!

As you might know, CD2 was recently released on Quest standalone platforms, App Lab and SideQuest. However, the real treasure lies in the official Meta Quest store. As we're getting closer and closer to the full release of the game, we're working on pitching the game to Meta (Oculus) staff.

We think that the user reviews are a good indicator for them that Cave Digger 2 has something unique to offer and it should be part of the official Meta Quest store! So we ask you kindly to write a review of the game on Steam or any other platform where you've purchased the game.

Getting on the Meta Quest store will help the game to get wayyy more visibility, which will be great for both the development team (duh) and the community! More players in the mines to have adventures with.

In the meantime, join our discord to get some sneak peeks of the upcoming game features. You won't see some of them on other channels for a long time!
