Gameplay
Characters
Rockford
The cave explorer who digs through dirt, collects diamonds, and escapes falling boulders and enemies.
Strategy
Study how boulders are supported before digging so you do not trap yourself or trigger a dangerous chain reaction. Use falling rocks to defeat enemies, but avoid setting them off in narrow passages without an escape route. Open safe loops and exits before collecting the last diamonds.

Tips
Tips and tricks
- Learn how a single rolling boulder creates safe space; many hard levels depend on that idea.
- Do not chase the nearest diamond until you know the return path will stay open.
- When enemies track you, create long corridors to control their movement.
