How to play VECTABOULDER

Cave greed — dig dirt, bank gems, respect gravity rocks or get CRUSHED.

Goal: Dig ten named caves for gems. Make the quota to unseal the exit, then decide: every extra gem grows a pot you only keep by walking out, seconds left pay a time bonus, and the cave clock ends in a collapse. Bonus caves cost no lives, and making their quota earns one.

Controls: Touch: drag to dig and move, tap to step, GRAB · Keys: arrows / WASD, Space to grab
