Boulderdash!
by Dave Koelle

In this great game you collect the diamonds and avoid the falling rocks!
(See directions below the game!)

Directions: Use your arrow keys to move. To drop a rock or diamond, stand under it, then step to the side and the rock will fall. If you hold the SHIFT key while pressing an arrow key, you affect that spot without actually moving there. So if there's a piece of dirt to the player's right, and a rock above the dirt, if the player presses SHIFT-RIGHT, the dirt will go away and the rock will fall. You can also collect diamonds and push rocks this way; using SHIFT is required for Level 9. To blow up a firefly, force the firefly to follow you into a trail where you're waiting with a rock. When it gets close enough, step away from the rock (not downward, or you'll get killed too!) or push a rock onto it. Fireflies and butterflies always (usually) follow edges of empty spaces.

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.

Monster 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 monsters 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.
