  2. Extract the zip file.
  3. Run the launcher in the resulting folder.

Game Instructions

  • Move with Arrow Keys.
  • Dig brick down + left/right with A and D (which creates a hole).
  • Boost by pressing SPACE.
  • Collect all the gold and then make it to the top of the level.
  • Your energy bar fills when you collect a gold.
  • Do not get caught by the enemies, or the level will restart.
  • Restart the current level at any time with R.
  • Quit the current level at any time with BACKSPACE.
  • Advance to the next level at any time with END.

Additional Tips

  • You can fall through holes you dig, but enemies will get stuck inside. This is how you avoid enemies.
  • You can walk on top of enemies without getting caught.
  • Enemies can pick up gold, too. You can force them to drop their gold by dropping them in a hole you dig.
  • After a period of time, an enemy may try to climb out of a hole he fell into. You can stand on top of him to stop this.

Settings

  • Enable/disable boosting.
  • Enable/disable in-game music.
  • Speedrun Display: the clock will display total time for the entire package, instead of time for the current level.
  • ExpertMode: enemies not stopped by holes. You gotta be on your toes if you enable this!
  • SluggishMode (will be removed): Makes you slower than the enemies.
