Miner Machine

Miner Machine is a Boulder Dash variant in which the player must collect all the square lumps of gold, that have been trapped by an earthquake. This must be done before the time, shown in the upper right corner of the screen, runs out. Running out of time results in an instant Game Over. The miner machine can push stones in different directions, dig its way through the layers of sand, collect the gold bars and avoid or destroy enemies by slinging the vacant rocks at them. Being hit by a bat costs the player a life. A red rock can be moved aside pressing the firing button/space bar while moving in the direction the player wants it moved. However, this can only be done if there is no obstacle in it path. Although the bats are unable to penetrate the blue areas of the screen (mine dust), the player can. However, if the player has cleared a way through the mine dust, the bats can then move through the pathways that have been made.

The game features two difficulty levels, each of which contains 25 fields to clear. It also includes a game editor where players can build, save, and play their own levels.
