This 'arcade style' game consists of a layout or walls and ladders. The object of the game is to run around with your 'digger', digging holes with your pick-axe. Digging holes sounds a bit strange, you may say, but how else are you going to destroy the evil creatures that are after you?
The "creatures" fall through the holes to their death. This may sound simple, but as the game gets more difficult the creatures may "float" over the holes if they wish. Towards the end of the game it can get quite hectic!
Handy Hints: I found it an advantage to predict the movements of the creatures rather than wait for them.
Digging a few holes in a row helps to ensure the creatures don't float over.
Overall, this is a very addictive game with a tidy layout and a good hi-score table and I give it four starts out of five.
