You have probably either played or heard of the Boulder Dash and Bomberman games – Mix those two games, and you get this – a game where you wander around caves collecting diamonds, while you also have the opportunity for using bombs. You can blow up rocks with the bombs but you can also use them to kill the enemies, because when an enemy is killed, he turns into a diamond, and you have to collect all the diamonds to complete a stage.

This is a full color arcade puzzle game with very nice fast scrolling, very nice animations of all characters and stunning music. There is a high level of details, everything works and plays fantastic, the controls are flawless and the enemies AI is very good as they seem to use some kind of random pattern when moving around. Around the gameplay area there is some nice animated lava but on the later levels there is no walls holding the lava away from the gameplay area!

There is actually not very much more to say about this game because like Boulder Dash and Bomberman the gameplay is quite simple but addictive as hell. If you liked the two other games, and who did not ? …you should definitely get this new updated game because it is absolutely fantastic! Everyone: young, old, male, female can play this because it plays so well, it is so entertaining and addictive and have …not one, not two, but a whole bunch of extremely high quality soundtracks to accompany the gameplay. This game is a show off in how to use colors, making fast scrolling, making addictive gameplay and making awesome music on the ZX Spectrum!

Rating = 99%.

The game is made by Denis Grachev in 2016.
