Gameplay Overview:

The player controls a miner who is trapped in an intricate underground maze. The miner can dig tunnels both horizontally and vertically, starting with at least one pre-existing tunnel. Players will encounter clusters of emeralds and various bonuses strategically located throughout the labyrinth. Monsters also spawn at different points within the maze. Digging beneath stones causes them to sway briefly before falling, and these stones can be maneuvered left or right through vertical paths. Caution is advised; while falling stones and bonuses can eliminate monsters, they can also crush the miner.

The miner is equipped with bombs that can be placed strategically to clear areas around them upon detonation. This title serves as a reimagining of the classic game Digger.

Controls:

• Touchscreen controls to guide your character.
• A double tap activates the bomb.
