You have dug too deep!


Mining in the darkest depths of the deepest ocean for sunken treasure, you have unleashed the Cephaloids from the abyss beyond! Escape up to the surface before it's too late!

Controls


* Arrow Keys / WASD: Move
* Space: Shoot Harpoon
* Escape: Pause

To dig, press against the rock with the directional controls.

Navigate past the top of the map to win.

Instructions


Navigate your vessel from the depths of the ocean up to the surface. You will need to dig through earth and rock to escape from the undersea caverns.

Your submarine is equipped with a limited supply of harpoons. Harpoons can pin Cephaloids and can even pierce through a whole line of them for a combo bonus. You can pick up your harpoons that missed a Cephaloid, and you can find more harpoons amidst the treasures of the sea.

If a Cephaloid catches you, you lose a life. Your harpoon supply resets to 5 with each life.

Collect treasures and move toward the surface to score points. Extra lives are awarded every 25,000 points.

Scoring


* Gold: 500 points
* Diamond: 2000 points
* Chest: 5000 points
* Pinning a Cephaloid: 100 points + combo bonus
* Moving toward the surface: 10 points per foot of depth
* Extra life every 25,000 points
