Synopsis

  • Miner 2049er clone
  • You play Bob (Miner) and you have to explore abandoned mines.
  • In the mines live dangerous creatures which you must avoid.
  • Be careful, there might be traps which will end your journey as fast as it began!

How To Play

  • Use the joystick to walk around and explore the mine. As you do so, the floor will be marked to
    show you which parts of the mine you already visited.
  • If you encounter a ladder, move the joystick up or down to explore another layer of the map.
  • Use Button 1 on your controller to let Bob jump. This can be helpful to overcome obstacles or to
    reach other parts of the map.
  • If you touch one of the monsters, Bob will be moved back to the starting position.
  • In the mine you will find various objects which were left behind by previous miners a long time
    ago. If you collect them, the monsters will turn happy for a few second. If you touch them during
    that time, they will disappear and stop bothering you.
  • As soon as you colored all parts of the mine, you finished the level.
