Dig Dug on Twitch — competition and audience
Dig Dug is a 1-2 player arcade game in which you have to use your shovel to dig your way through the earth. Stopping you from doing this are two monsters, called Pooka and Fygar, who will continually chase you around. The only weapon that you carry is an air pump, which you can use to inflate the monsters to the point where they explode. (if you start to inflate them but stop doing so, the monsters will get turned back to their normal selves). Furthermore, rocks are scattered throughout the earth, and you can use these rocks to squash them. If the monsters do not find you for several seconds, they will eventually get turned into ghosts, which are able to walk through the earth. They are invincible and cannot be killed. From time to time, vegetables will appear in the center, and you can get these for points.

What is Dig Dug about?
In the classic 1982 arcade game Dig Dug, you play as Taizo Hori, an underground miner or gardener. His mission is to protect the surface world by clearing an underground maze of mutated, subterranean monsters—the goggle-wearing Pookas and fire-breathing green dragons called Fygars.
Should I stream Dig Dug on Twitch?
0/100 · Closed off· 1 viewers per streamer on paperProbably not. The only English stream here holds all 1 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.
The only English stream here holds all 1 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.
Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.
This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is Dig Dug too saturated on Twitch?
Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Dig Dug, and the one English stream holds all 1 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
