Help identifying an old game?
I've been trying to find a game that I played probably 10 or so years ago. I thought the name was digiminer or digimon or something like that but I know it's not those games.
The game (from what I remember) was about mining as a robot or in a ship of some sort. It was 2d. Whenever you mined areas it dropped pixels to be picked up that you had to fly/jump/move over to. I think it had a vacuum that you equipped to grab everything? You could upgrade and such to mine faster/larger and have a better pickup area. The mining area was mainly on the right side of the screen I think, the left side was all empty. The game was fully free, and I'm pretty sure that to run it you had it all downloaded in a file then ran the .exe.
I could be getting some of the ideas wrong, it's been a long time since I played or saw the game If anyone can help identify this game I'd appreciate it! I've been trying to find it for a few years, I remember it being a fun time sink
Edit: the game was dig-n-rig by digipen
Possibly Dig-N-Rig, although you dig to the left.
This is exactly it, thank you so much! The digipen must've been why I was thinking digiminer.
Kinda sounds like the flash game Motherload
That’s what I was thinking. Just got a nice tinge of nostalgia from this comment ☺️
Another commenter got it, the game I was remembering is dig-n-rig
Tried it a bit, doesn't quite sound like what op is describing, though, there's no vacuuming or things being dropped on the floor and the mining is downwards.

That's more or less what it sounds like to me too, might be a different but might still be close enough to scratch that sme itch.
Sounds like starbound to me.
It wasn't, it's dig-n-rig. That said, I really need to redownload Starbound, it's been a while since I've played it but I remember it being a lot of fun too
