A Stunning Underground Adventure

The game includes five modes that differ from previous parts of the franchise. They are lined up as attractions available to the user in a large amusement park.

When you manage to collect "seals" in all five modes, you will be available to fight with the boss. If he is defeated, then you can continue the game at new levels.

On each map the player solves one simple task. He needs to get to the exit, choosing the best path for the driller. If you force blocks of the same color to connect, they will disappear. It is also necessary to monitor the amount of oxygen. Additionally, the user calculates the entire path so as not to be under the rubble.
