You are Rockford, and you have to dig through monster-infested caves in search of diamonds. In each level, you must collect a certain number of these diamonds to open a portal to the next stage. Enemies can be squashed by falling boulders, which are released when the ground below them is removed or they are pushed onto empty ground, but be careful because these can also squash you. As you progress, difficulty increases with new puzzle elements and shorter time limits.
