Gameplay:

The miner starts in a maze, digging horizontal and vertical tunnels. Emeralds (often in groups), power-ups, and monsters populate the labyrinth. Digging under stones causes them to fall after a short delay, crushing anything below. Stones can be pushed horizontally in vertical tunnels. Falling stones and power-ups eliminate monsters, but also the miner! The miner uses bombs to clear areas and defeat enemies. This game is a fresh take on the classic retro game, Digger.

Controls:

• On-screen controls to move the miner.
• Double-tap to activate bombs.
