Game Overview

You're an astronaut stranded on this weird alien planet, and your only way out is to dig deep, grab a giant jewel, and haul it back to your ship before everything goes wrong. Sounds simple, right? Nope.

First, there's a tank slowly blasting away at your ship from the other side of the screen—if it blows up, you're toast. Then there are these creepy little monsters crawling around, plus rocks falling out of nowhere. And digging? It's slow, awkward work. You've got to line up just right to tunnel through dirt, which makes dodging enemies a nightmare when you're panicking.

The real kicker? Once you finally reach the bottom pit and grab a jewel, arrows start raining down as you scramble back up. Oh, and that exit? It's a collapsing bridge over acid. Lose a life, and everything resets—jewels respawn, tunnels refill, and you're back to square one.

Your laser only shoots sideways, so no fancy angles. You'll die a lot at first, but there's something weirdly satisfying about finally nailing that perfect run. Just don't blame me when you get crushed by a boulder for the tenth time.
