I’ve never seen a clone of Boulder Dash this brutal! The enemies are endless, and you’ll need plenty of dexterity to escape them. Most of the time, you’ll have to guide the butterflies towards the green amoeba to trigger chain explosions. Watch out for the diamond avalanches!
Advantages: the game’s not linear (you’ll be replaying a level dozens of times, but at least you’re free to try different strategies) and the non-stop action is exhilarating!
Disadvantages: apart from a few exceptions, the 80 levels are all pretty much the same, and the difficulty doesn’t scale.
So, if you’ve criticised Boulder Dash for its lack of pace, Eat Mine is just what you need! On the other hand, puzzle fans will probably prefer a Bond Mine or a Supaplex.
