Balance locating gems on the current floor against scouting out the next floor in this procedural puzzle game. A bit of Minesweeper-style deduction and a bit of luck is required. I highly recommend figuring out how to dig with the shovel to scout the next floor before descending down to level 2!
Play through a 10 floor "score attack" collecting as many gems as you can. Score attack uses the same procedural seed for all players and has an online high score list to compare your scores. Endless Mode (not recommended) will give you a new sequence of large levels every time you play.
