Diamond Caves 3 is based on the idea of the classic C64 arcade game Boulder Dash and the Amiga game Emerald Mine.
Overview
Diamond Caves 3 also is the successor to the popular Diamond Caves II, a classic arcade game in the tradition of Boulder Dash (C64) and Emerald Mine (Amiga). The main goal in this game is to get out of a cave using the blue exit.
For the exit to open, you have to collect a specific amount of Emeralds.

Sothe player in this game must collect all the diamonds in a cave and then reach the exit within the given time limit.
The game features several different level groups, some specially designed to be played in coop-mode. A level editor is available too.
