Fun game that kept me playing until day 10 when I had discovered everything. I had nothing to do so i spent the next four days putzing around, only to discover I hadn't "cleared" any ruins? Not very straight forward, I have no idea what i did wrong. I went to replay it, but I completely bombed the first day, and I don't have enough curiosity to go through it again. All in all, it was alright, fun but just alright.
Reviews for "Excavate!"
First playthrough: Failed completely
Second playthrough: Cleared all ruins
The game encourages experimentation to see what combos work and what combos don't. It's a lot of fun and makes you think. Another fantastic game from Scriptwelder.
Pretty good.

Was fun until, without the game giving any warning in the slightest, all of my 87 catalogued finds got stolen in the night.
It's a surprisingly fun game. I had a good time going through it the first time around. The one problem stems from the fact that there's nothing beyond the initial 14 days. Once you've played through it once, there really isn't a reason to play through it again, unless you want the achievements. I had hoped that there was things you could do to build on. Make yourself a legendary archaeologist, or something. As it is, it's a fun way to spend 30 minutes, or whatever, but it's not worth anything beyond that.
