About Fungies Spelungies
It is a 2D mining adventure starring the mushroom people from the Cartoon Network show The Fungies, who spend their time digging under their town for fossils.
The main danger is your own digging. Some blocks drop as soon as you remove the dirt under them, and if one lands on your character you have to retry the level. You also cannot jump or dig upward, so every step down is a commitment.

Each level is a short arcade stage that starts with your character walking along the top of the dig site. Dirt gives way in three directions, but solid rock cannot be dug through at all. Some boulders can be shoved aside by walking into them.
You collect fossils just by digging into them. Keys work the same way, and you need them to clear blocks with locks on them so you can reach new parts of the level.
Every level rates you with up to three stars, and the more fossils you pick up, the higher your rating. Reaching the cave is enough to finish, so you can rush through all 21 levels or go back and chase three stars on each one.
The Fungies are a colorful cartoon crew who want nothing more than to dig deep and haul up anything valuable, a bit like the burrowing critters in an animal game.
Quick summary
- You start at the top of the dig site with fossils buried somewhere below you.
- You dig through dirt and around solid rock, collecting every fossil you can reach.
- Reaching the cave at the bottom finishes the level.
- Getting crushed by a falling block sends you back to retry the level.
Key features
- There are 21 levels of digging under the Fungies' town.
- Blocks fall once the dirt under them is gone, which adds a bit of action to the planning.
- You can dig down, left and right, but never up, and you cannot jump.
- Keys open locked blocks, and some boulders can be pushed.
- Each level gives up to three stars based on the fossils you collect.
Tips & tricks
- Look over where all the fossils sit before your first dig and plan a route that reaches as many as possible.
- Build that route around the shiniest, most intact fossils first.
- Use the solid rock as a guide, since where it sits shows where you should stand and how you should dig.
- Before you dig under any block, check whether it will drop onto the spot where you are heading.
- Since you cannot dig back up, grab the fossils in the upper rows before going deeper.
