"Rockford & Crystal from the 80s"

Reviewed by: Anna Grace / Nov 18, 2011

Help Rockford find the diamonds and his sister

Boulder Dash is a classic game from the 80s with graphics that bring to our mind those nostalgic times.
The story is about Rockford and his sister Crystal who use their time machine to build the largest collection of diamonds. Their little sister Gem and many pieces are missing and they need to rescue them as fast as they can.

You can choose a cave pack and the level (some of which are unlocked), game mode (classic or zen) and the difficulty (beginner, standard or advanced).

You need to use an arrow control to move the character around, keeping in mind the obstacles that appear on each level (bombs, walls and so on) and trying to get to the door as quick as you can, grabbing as many diamonds as possible.

First Star Software, Inc. is the developer of Boulder Dash®-The Collection, a classic 80s game, with the same essence and gameplay. It's surely entertaining and if you enjoyed those little games you'll probably like this one as well. Go back to the past with this fun and entertaining game developed to delight old school and new generation casual gamers alike.

Developer's original description available here
Every week a new cave! Check new 2013 caves and rate them.

NOTE: Only 1 cave pack is included with this purchase. The 4 additional cave packs must each be purchased separately from within the app itself. If you wish to buy all 5 cave packs at once, with a discount, instead, please look for "Boulder Dash-The FULL Collection" version on Google Play. As a bonus new 2013 caves are available for free.

NOTE ABOUT NOTIFICATIONS: With recent versions of Boulder Dash The Collection there is a new feature which will notify you when new cave is ready to be downloaded from server and played. If you are crumbled with notifications you can turn them OFF by going to phone Settings -> Applications Manager -> Boulder Dash The Collection and uncheck "Show notifications" check box.

The ultimate action-puzzle game, your challenge is to collect the required number of diamonds in each cave before time runs out in order to open the exit all while avoiding falling boulders and enemies! Leave through the exit in time and you’ll advance to the next cave.

The very first Boulder Dash® app ever for Android is a collection of 6 Boulder Dash® games, 4 sold as in-app purchases, including the well know, much loved, multimillion-unit selling original game from 1984. All 6 cave packs ARE available! Languages supported: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese & Korean.

    DO NOT BUY EXTRA LEVELS. I have now paid twice for extra levels but have not got them. Shame as the first lot I got were as good as the original spectrum game.

    I brought the extra levels a few hours ago and I still haven't got them.

    Was hoping the NES version was on this compilation. Any chance that might be added in the future?
