PROGRAMM DESCRIPTION:

Millennium Digger is a remake of the old popular game Digger.

The game's concept is as follows: its hero, Digger, has to collect all the diamonds by wandering through tunnels laid along various venues such as green lawns, snow-clad vastness, dungeons or even whole futuristic worlds.


Game Rules:

The game is aimed at gradually scoring as many points as possible. The points are awarded for collection of various bonuses and diamonds as well as for destruction of monsters. Digger's joy of scoring is endangered by Monsters who lose no effort to eat Digger. Of primary importance are bonuses. When "eaten" by Digger they can miraculously reshape the game by changing the parameters of playing in general or the parameters of some of the game's characters. Digger is on a truck that goes up and through many different levels. The only condition of passing on to the next level is to collect all the diamonds on the current level unless he collects a bonus that may sharply change the course of the game. To fight against the monsters, Digger can use a grenade-gun and, first of all, his own cunning and quick wits.

 

Monsters:

"Weak monster"- poses no threat for Digger. It passes away when it bumps into Digger.
"Common monster" - collision with a common monster is a real menace for Digger, causing his temporal "death" and a loss of one life. This monster can move only along the corridors dig up by Digger. From time to time a common monster can turn into a short-lived "Advanced monster".
"Advanced monster" - chases Digger by passing through any possible obstacle and gobbling up everything on its way. On collision with such a monster Digger temporarily dies and loses one life..
"Sack" - is no threat for anyone unless it drops right on one's head.
and so on ..

Bonuses:

"Cherry" - temporarily turns all monsters into "Weak monsters" .
"Kill all" - kills all Digger's enemy "Slow down" - slows down the movement of monsters
"Invisibility" - makes Digger temporarily invisible for monsters
"Teleport" - allows Digger to shift to another place
"Kill the near" - kills the nearest monster
"Bomb" - some time after Digger initiates the fuse, the bomb explodes and destroys everything in the neighborhood.
and so on ..
