In this game you tunnel though the ground trying to accumulate enough diamonds to open the door to the next level. All within the time limit. The first game introduced quite a few puzzle elements with the various enemy types as well as a few tricks that some of the seemingly regular tiles could do. This game throws you in the deep end assuming you know (and remember) all the tricks from the first game. All in all it's a fun game but you're going to want to look up an faq on how the various enemy and diamond spawning techniques if you want to make it all the way though.
