Rocks Off!
A tile-based puzzle game. You are an adventurer exploring different worlds in search of treasure, facing monsters along the way.
About
Dig through the dirt with the arrow keys, or the on-screen keypad on a phone, and collect enough treasure to open the exit and escape. Rocks and treasure fall when nothing holds them up, so every tunnel you dig changes what can land on your head.
Monsters patrol the edges of the tunnels. Drop a rock on one and it explodes, clearing a 3×3 area, or, for a treasure monster, turning it into treasure. Destructible walls give way to the blast and open new paths through the map.
