About Dig, Cubby, Dig!
A 2D pixel digging adventure in the browser for up to six players per world. Grandad Oldby has hidden his treasures in chests under the Forest and given each of his grandkids a house, so you drill down through earth, stone and caves for chests and the keys that open them, which lie elsewhere. A chest does not open in your hands: you carry it home, put it on a stand, turn the key and wait for an alarm clock that keeps running even when the game is closed, from a couple of minutes for a Wooden chest to a day or a day and a half for an Infernal one. Inside is an artifact that goes on a shelf and earns coins; a million coins brings Grandad's next letter and the road to the next land, from the Forest to the Desert and beyond. The treasure underground is shared, so a chest belongs to whoever finds it first, and there are leaderboards, quests with riddles, mages, a workbench, hostile creatures, bosses, fishing, weather and day and night. The developer says Claude Code writes all of the code: they describe what they want in plain words, Claude Code builds it on its own branch, and they play every change before it is merged. Free in the browser with no sign-up, on a computer or with touch controls on a phone, in English and Russian.
How it was built
Partially verifiedIn a post on r/ClaudeCode titled “I built a multiplayer browser game with Claude Code in 3 weeks” (15 Oct 2026, UTC) the developer writes: “How I use Claude Code: it writes all of the code. I describe what I want in plain words, it asks about the unclear parts, builds it on its own branch, and I play every change in the running game before it gets merged. About 440 commits since September 20.” The developer says Claude Code still needs them for taste (flat-looking turns, legs detached from bodies, a whole parallax system they threw away) and that anything touching production waits for their explicit go-ahead. The developer, who says they have worked as a developer for over 25 years, adds that Claude now helps with the visual side, which had always been the hard part for them.
Per the developer: TypeScript, PixiJS 8 and Vite on the client; Nakama and Postgres on one virtual machine for accounts, worlds, chests and chat; WebRTC between nearby players for movement and voice. The game's devlog says development started on 20 Sep 2026; the first multiplayer version connected players' browsers directly through a small go-between server, and on 1 Oct 2026 the game moved to its own server, which keeps saves, chest timers and contents and leaderboards; a second server (Russia and Finland) followed on 11 Oct. The name was chosen on 30 Sep and the game moved to cubbydig.io on 2 Oct. Voice chat is between players. The game does not call AI services.

Verification notes: AI use, stack and commit count from the developer's post on r/ClaudeCode by u/visemaar (15 Oct 2026, 15:13 UTC), read from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 8 Nov 2026; it links cubbydig.io. The 100% share is the developer's “it writes all of the code”. Story, features, controls and languages from cubbydig.io and the game page on cubby.krendo.games; dates from the game's blog (posts of 19 to 25 Oct 2026); all read on 8 Nov 2026. Developer: cubbydig.io links the game page on Krendo Games, which calls itself an indie studio (“we”) and lists two other browser games; the Reddit post is written in the first person, and no personal name or team size is given, so the Reddit account is recorded as an alias with medium confidence. The post title's “3 weeks” and the blog's start date of 20 Sep 2026 agree. No public launch date is stated (the game was on cubbydig.io from 2 Oct 2026 per the blog), so the release date is left empty. The client script (about 7.6 MB) was searched and contacts only the game's own servers and the Google, VK, Yandex and Telegram log-in or community hosts; no AI services. Nakama is the developer's statement. The krendo.games home page is in Russian, with English and Turkish options; the game offers English and Russian. The game was not played.
