A game about making money the easy way and not losing sight of your competitor. Your goal is to collect more diamonds than your opponent within two Minutes!\r\n\r\nDig your way through the cave (Left Player: WASD, Right Player: ARROW-KEYS) to find treasures. Jump to reach higher positions - if you are in the air, you can try to climb the wall (Press and hold UP again). But remember, climbing is cumbersome and there's no time to spare. You ate dynamite again by accident - although you actually dislike dynamite: Why not pass it to your opponent by touching him or just wiggle arround fast enough to drop it. Be careful though, because an explosion can be really stunning! You can take a little rest during the action (Press Escape) and choose another cave system. Enough said, battle yourself with your friends for those thousand of diamonds beneath the surface!\r\n\r\n\r\nControls: WASD (left Player), ARROW-KEYS (right Player)\r\nPress ESC ingame to get more Tips on Gameplay.\r\n\r\n\r\nBuild within 48 hours with FlashDevelop & FlashPunk, MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Sfxr, Audacity\r\n\r\n\r\nBugfixes:\r\n2014-05-02  Version 1.01\r\n- Removed a bug where the player could destroy strong tiles very fast by attacking multiple directions at the same time\r\n- Changed the finding of the next to be attacked block to improve collision\r\n- Diamonds which where unreachable do not longer spawn within the stoneborder\r\n- Fixed a timer bug that the roundtime was very short which appeared after a round restart","title":"Diamond Diggers"}
