Rocks'n'Diamonds

Rocks'n'Diamonds is a classic puzzle game inspired by titles such as Boulder Dash and Emerald Mine, combining exploration with gravity, digging, collecting and plenty of opportunities to get yourself trapped. You guide a character through increasingly complicated levels, gathering diamonds while avoiding enemies, falling rocks and other hazards. The basic rules are easy to understand, but clever level design creates puzzles that demand careful planning and good timing. The game also offers a substantial collection of levels and variations, making it much more than a quick retro curiosity. There is a special satisfaction in clearing a complicated screen after several failed attempts, especially when you finally realize that the solution was sitting there all along. Rocks'n'Diamonds is retro puzzle gaming with an impressive amount of staying power.

“An arcade style game for Unix, Mac OS X, Windows and DOS in the tradition of Boulder Dash, Emerald Mine, Supaplex, Sokoban.” - Artsoft Entertainment

Review by Game Hippo:

“This boulderdash type game has more than 1000 levels! Depending on which level set you select, there are lots of exciting things to see like monsters, diamonds, and explosives. This game includes the original levels for various versions of boulderdash and sokoban. In my opinion, the game interface is somewhat annoying, but other than that this game is quite impressive. There are even ways to play with other people.“
