If you are going fast, pressing it will do nothing as the jackhammer will power itself.\n\nLeft\/Right - Move left and right. Used to maneuver past obstacles and to get ores. (Note: you can only dig to the side while going down)\n\n\nBlocks:\n\nSilver\/Gold\/Diamond - Collect these for extra score.\n\nObsidian - Used to slow yourself down if you are going too fast. Be careful though as you can lose all power and lose if you hit too many too fast.\n\nLava - You will die if you fall into it. \n\n\nChangelog:\n\n(4\/30\/21) - New link added to JAR compatible down to Java 8 ","title":"Super Jackhammer","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/236501+236502+236503+236504+236505+236506+236507+236508+236509+236510+236511+236512+236513+236514+236515+236516+236517+236518+236519+236520+236521+236522+236523+236524+236525+236526+236527+236528+236529+236530+236531+236532+236533+236534+236535+236536+236537+236538+236539+236540+236541+236542+236543+236544+236545+236546+236547+236548+236549+236550+236551+236552+236553+236554+236555+236556+236557+236558+236559+236560+236561+236562+236563+236564+236565+236566+236567+236568+236569+236570+236571+236572+236573+236574+236575+236576+236577+236578+236579+236580+236581+236582+236583+236584+236585+236586+236587+236588+236589+236590+236591+236592+236593+236594+236595+236596+236597+236598+236599+236600+236601+236602+236603+236604+236605+236606+236607+236608+236609+236610+236611+236612+236613+236614+236615+236616+236617+236618+236619+236620+236621+236622+236623+236624+236625+236626+236627+236628+236629+236630+236631+236632+236633+236634+236635+236636+236637+236638+236639+236640+236641+236642+236643+236644+236645+236646+236647+236648+236649+236650+236651+236652+236653+236654+236655+236656+236657+236658+236659+236660+236661+236662+236663+236664+236665+236666+236667+236668+236669+236670+236671+236672+236673+236674+236675+236676+236677+236678+236679+236680+236681+236682+236683+236684+236685+236686+236687+236688+236689+236690+236691+236692+236693+236694+236695+236696+236697+236698+236699+236700+236701+236702+236703+236704+236705+236706+236707+236708+236709+236710+236711+236712+236713+236714+236715+236716+236717+236718+236719+236720+236721+236722+236723+236724+236725+236726+236727+236728+236729+236730+236731+236732+236733+236734+236735+236736+236737+236738+236739+236740+236741+236742+236743+236744+236745+236746+236747+236748+236749+236750+236751+236752+236753+236754+236755+236756+236757+236758+236759+236760+236761+236762+236763+236764+236765+236766+236767+236768+236769+236770+236771+236772+236773+236774+236775+236776+236777+236778+236779+236780+236781+236782+236783+236784+236785+236786+236787+236788+236789+236790+236791+236792+236793+236794+236795+236796+236797+236798+236799+236800+236801+236802+236803+236804+236805+236806+236807+236808+236809+236810+236811+236812+236813+236814+236815+236816+236817+236818+236819+236820+236821+236822+236823+236824+236825+236826+236827+236828+236829+236830+236831+236832+236833+236834+236835+236836+236837+236838+236839+236840+236841+236842+236843+236844+236845+236846+236847+236848+236849+236850+236851+236852+236853+236854+236855+236856+236857+236858+236859+236860+236861+236862+236863+236864+236865+236866+236867+236868+236869+236870+236871+236872+236873+236874+236875+236876+236877+236878+236879+236880+236881+236882+236883+236884+236885+236886+236887+236888+236889+236890+236891+236892+236893+236894+236895+236896+236897+236898+236899+236900+236901+236902+236903+236904+236905+236906+236907+236908+236909+236910+236911+236912+236913+236914+236915+236916+236917+236918+236919+236920+236921+236922+236923+236924+236925+236926+236927+236928+236929+236930+236931+236932+236933+236934+236935+236936+236937+236938+236939+236940+236941+236942+236943+236944+236945+236946+236947+236948+236949+236950+236951+236952+236953+236954+236955+236956+236957+236958+236959+236960+236961+236962+236963+236964+236965+236966+236967+236968+236969+236970+236971+236972+236973+236974+236975+236976+236977+236978+236979+236980+236981+236982+236983+236984+236985+236986+236987+236988+236989+236990+236991+236992+236993+236994+236995+236996+236997+236998+236999+237000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/1c\/1ca2fbf6a8b7c39322cacf216c921d71f791fdcae8c1d12181b54488cc7f37c2","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/6c6df262b1f89f86631fcfc509d521f4628948e66d41c15302f4f804bbe38219.json","sha256":"1ca2fbf6a8b7c39322cacf216c921d71f791fdcae8c1d12181b54488cc7f37c2","source":"https","stored_at":1784022307}}
