# Boulder Dash® - Pirate's Quest™ – Game Play

### Aim Of The Game

The aim of the game is to collect all diamonds in each level in order to open the exit and then to find that opened exit which will take you to the next level. You lose a life if you die, run out of time; or, if when trapped you elect to restart the level by forfeiting a life. Your game ends if you run out of lives. You can resume a previously ended game too, but your score will be erased.

### Game Screen

The main area of the screen, to the left, contains the current level. Here you have to control your selected hero, to gather all diamonds without becoming trapped; being killed; or, running out of time.

The panel on the right side of the screen consists of the following items (from top to bottom):

- Captain "Lost 'Em" Stonewall, who when clicked on, will give you hints for the given level;
- any super gems that you have collected;
- the name and number of the current level;
- your current score;
- the tools that are currently available for you in inventory;
- next to them it shows the remaining time and the number of diamonds yet to be collected;
- a life preserver that if clicked on will display help for how to play the game;
- a raft at the bottom, which if clicked on will display the Pause Menu.
