The Fungies Spelungies

Dig left, right, and straight down as Seth the Fungie, but watch out—one wrong swipe sends a boulder crashing onto your cap.

Seth's got a problem: the caves under Fungietown are packed with shiny loot, but every tunnel you carve could collapse. The Fungies Spelungies is a digging puzzle where you move in three directions—left, right, down—and the moment you start a path, gravity does the rest. I spent my first few runs just smashing downward and wondering why boulders kept bonking me. Then it clicked: you have to read the rock layers before you dig. Each level is a small grid of dirt, gems, and hazards. You guide Seth with arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to collect the required treasure and reach the exit. The catch? You can't dig upward, so every downward move is a commitment. If you leave a gap above, a rock might drop and squash you. It's part puzzle, part reflex test, and the goofy art style keeps it from feeling stressful—until you're one tile from the goal and a boulder the size of Seth's head rolls in. The game nails that 'just one more try' feel. Some levels have multiple routes, and you'll learn to memorize which tiles shift. It's genuinely satisfying to carve a perfect S-shaped tunnel and watch Seth pop out the other side. Not the longest game, but for a free browser title, it's a tight little adventure.

Desktop Use the left, down, and right arrow keys to dig. You can only dig down or to the sides. You can not dig up. Mobile Use your finger to direct Seth.

Plan your route from bottom to top mentally—you can't reverse upward, so treat every down move like a one-way door. On mobile, a short swipe is more precise than a long drag when you're lining up tight turns. Boulders fall when the tile below them is empty; never dig directly under a suspicious rock. Grab optional gems only if the path back to the exit stays clear—greed kills. Some levels have breakable blocks that reveal safe pockets; test the edges first. Restart is instant, so don't be afraid to sacrifice a run to learn the hazard layout.
