Author's note- How do I play Boulderdash?
Collect the diamonds, and avoid the falling rocks!
Along the way, you'll encounter these elements:
| Titanium Wall |
An indestructable wall |
| Dirt |
You can dig through dirt, leaving empty spaces |
| Brick Wall |
This wall can be destroyed if, say, you blow up a firefly next to it |
| Magic Wall |
Just as destructable as the Brick Wall. If you drop a rock into
the Magic Wall, it turns into a diamond. If you drop a diamond, it
becomes a rock. There has to be an empty space under the Magic
Wall, or else the falling rock or diamond will be swallowed by the
wall and lost forever. |
| Firefly |
Moves clockwise. If you smash it with a rock or diamond, it explodes. Deadly to the touch. |
| Butterfly |
Moves counterclockwise. If you smash it with a rock or a
diamond, it explodes into diamonds. Also deadly to the touch. |
| Amoeba |
Grows randomly. If you suffocate it so it has no place to grow,
all of the amoeba will turn into diamonds. Amoeba is not deadly to
the touch (so you can help suffocate an amoeba by standing next to
it), but will kill fireflies or butterflies that touch it. |
| Closed Exit |
When you collect the required number of diamonds, this will turn
into an Opened Exit. |
| Opened Exit |
Passage to the next level. |
At any time during the game, you can press ESC or hit Restart
if you become hopelessly stuck. If you hold the SHIFT key
while moving in any direction, you will affect the element in that
direction without actually moving there. Therefore, you can clear dirt,
move a rock, or collect a diamond while standing still.
You may move to the previous and next
levels using the buttons provided, but your score will only be permanently
recorded when you successfully complete a level.
