The keys are as the default Digger keys - arrow keys
to move, F1 to fire. Press
F9 (not F10 as in
other versions) to abandon a game in progress and return to the title screen.
Press + or - to
change speed, and Esc on the main menu to switch between 1 and 2
player mode. Click on the Java applet to give it focus if it does not
respond.
The scoring system works as follows:
- Emerald (
): 25 points.
- Eight consecutive emeralds (octave): Extra 250 points.
- Gold (
):
500 points.
- Killing a Nobbin (
) or a Hobbin
(
) by shooting
(
) or hitting
with a bag (): 250 points.
- Bonus (
): 1,000 points.
- (In bonus mode) Eating a Nobbin ( ) or a Hobbin (
): 200 points for first, 400 for 2nd, etc. (doubling each time) - still
250 for other methods of killing, though.
- At every multiple of 20,000 points you
get an extra life.
Sound and many of the "Remastered" features such as
VGA graphics, keyboard redefinition, gauntlet mode, 2-player simultaneous mode
and recording have not yet been implemented.
