About
Boulder Dash is a puzzle-action game where you dig through underground caves collecting gems while avoiding cave-ins. You control Rockford, who tunnels through dirt to grab diamonds and reach each level's exit before time runs out. The catch: digging destabilizes boulders above you. They fall when support disappears, potentially crushing you or triggering chain reactions. Enemies patrol the caves, and careless digging can trap you in dead ends or cause explosive collapses. Each level requires planning your route—grab enough gems to unlock the exit without getting buried. It's methodical excavation meets spatial puzzle-solving, where every move changes the physics of what's above you.
