Emerald Mine/Level 0-20

Level 0 (Single Player)
Level 0 in Single Player consists of a series of irregular sections of the level, with ten (10) out of twenty-five (25) sections containing a single Emerald. The level introduces Player One, Dirt, Letter Walls, Steel Walls, Emeralds, and an Exit.


 * Player One is the player's character.
 * Dirt are brown tiles that can only be dug by the Player.
 * Letter Walls and Steel Walls serve as obstacles that the Player cannot pass through.
 * Emeralds are green gems that are worth a single gem; they are the main goal to collect to complete the level.
 * The Exit is a blue portal that flashes when it is opened; it is where once entered, the level is complete. It is opened after collecting a certain amount of gems.

The only way to lose in the level is being smashed by an Emerald, or letting the time limit of the level expire.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, There is a Closed Exit in the last section.
 * There are 200 seconds (3 minutes, and 20 seconds) in the level.
 * There are ten (10) Emeralds to collect to complete the level. Advance further by moving right.
 * Moving right, there's a message at the bottom that says: "Welcome to the fantastic world of Emerald Mine ! Good luck !!!", as a form of greeting to those playing the game for the first time.


 * Into the cell sections
 * After going to the right side of the level, and entering the first section, go to the top section and grab the first (1st) Emerald.
 * Returning back to the first section, go to the left section two times and move up to collect the second (2nd) Emerald.
 * Dig to the right two sections to get the third (3rd) Emerald.
 * Go the top-right section of the level to take the fourth (4th) Emerald.
 * Move back to where the third Emerald was acquired, and go upwards to pick up the fifth (5th) Emerald.
 * Return to where the second Emerald was collected, go to the bottom-right section to snag the sixth (6th) Emerald.
 * Shift left and then downward to accumulate the seventh (7th) Emerald.
 * Move right and traverse upwards to loot the last three Emeralds in a vertical row.


 * Going into the Exit
 * After collecting all of the ten (10) Emeralds, the Closed Exit turns into an Open Exit. Remember that it is located at the bottom-left side of the level next to the starting position of Player One separated by the Steel Walls. The section can only be reached through the top side.

Level 1
Level 1

Level 1 consists a single large pathway that goes downward, then upward, and so on; with five column sections in the level. The level gradually increases the difficulty by introducing Boulders and Empty Space; additionally, there are 100 seconds compared to 200 seconds in Level 0.


 * Boulders are grey rocks that can be pushed and are a main concern for the Player
 * Empty Spaces are black tiles that can be occupied by a Player, or gravity-oriented objects such as Emeralds and Boulders.

A new way to lose in the level is being smashed by a Boulder.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, it sets in the top-left side of the level, with the first sightings of Boulders and small patches of Empty Space below and at the right, not dug by the Players themselves.
 * There are 100 seconds (1 minute and 40 seconds) in the level, 100 seconds less than the previous level (Level 0 in Single Player and Teamwork); requiring more constant moving to finish the level before the time limit expires.
 * There are ten (10) Emeralds to gather to complete the level. Advance further by going downward.


 * Traversing
 * During the journey, there are 190 Boulders residing in the level. Most of them can be avoided so they won't roll off from another Boulder downward. However, if a Boulder is falling downward, stay away from it's falling path.
 * Along the way, there are Emeralds that are worth obtaining: five (5) of them located either halfway of the section, and five (5) of them are resting at a corner of the section.
 * In Teamwork Mode, to complete the level easier and faster: One Player should collect Emeralds resided in the halfway of the sections. One Player should gather Emeralds resting at the corner of the sections.


 * Going to the Exit
 * Both of the Exits are sitting next to the last Emerald; those three things are located at the bottom-right section of the level, the fifth and last section of the whole level.

Level 2
Level 2

Level 2 consists of Boulders, Emeralds, and Diamonds being surrounded by vast pockets of Empty Space; combined with the introduction of Normal Walls, and Diamonds results in a somewhat higher increase of difficulty.


 * Normal Walls do the same thing as Letter Walls, and Steel Walls: block the Player from going through.
 * Diamonds are worth 3 gems; but unlike Emeralds, they can be smashed by Boulders.

Due to the somewhat more open pockets of Empty Space, there is a somewhat higher chance of being smashed by a Boulder.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, Boulders and Emeralds can be heard landing after falling down in place, with the Diamonds being the only objects to not move at all. It takes place in the center of the level surrounded by a rectangular perimeter of Normal Walls with occupied Boulders; with one particular Boulder blocking the right side of the perimeter. There are two Closed Exits below the starting position.
 * There are 120 seconds (2 minutes) in the level, with 20 seconds more than the previous level (Level 1).
 * There are 30 gems to collect in the level. There are seventeen (17) Emeralds and six (6) Diamonds waiting to be obtained. All of the six (6) Diamonds combined are worth eighteen (18) gems. All of the gems combined in the level are worth thirty-five (35) gems.
 * To start scavenging for gems, leave through the top or bottom side of the Normal Walls from the starting area.


 * Cautionary mining
 * While mining in the level and avoiding Boulders due to increased pockets of Empty Space, it is more faster to complete the level by obtaining more Diamonds than Emeralds first.
 * In Teamwork mode, two Players can take halves of the whole screen and cover more space for faster collecting.
 * Up to one Diamond can be smashed by a Boulder. If a second Diamond is smashed, the level will be rendered unsolvable, requiring a replay.
 * Going to the Exit
 * Both of the Exits are located back in the starting area of the level; safely traverse back and reach there. If coming from the right side of the level, push the Boulder at the right side of the Normal Wall perimeter.

Level 3
Level 3

Level 3 consists of a narrow pathway littered with Yam Yams attempting to hinder anyone from advancing further. Due to the introduction of Yam Yams, a different kind of difficulty is introduced.


 * Yam Yams are orange round creatures with teeth that have a unpredictable movement in one of the four directions straight. Being in the path of the creature's movement direction will result in being devoured if it is not avoided.

A new way of losing in the level is being devoured by a Yam Yam in one of the four directions; up, down, left, or right.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, it sets in the bottom-left side of the level, with the first sightings of Yam Yams above and right that repeatedly make sounds that say "Yam" when they're not moving.
 * There are 100 seconds (1 minute and 40 seconds) in the level, with 20 seconds less than the previous level (Level 2).
 * There are ten (10) Emeralds to snag to finish the level. To collect the gems and confront the Yam Yams, move upwards.


 * Passing through the Yam Yams
 * During the time going through the level, there are 23 Yam Yams that need to be avoided upon passing through in horizontal, vertical, or box-shaped creature pathways.
 * In Teamwork mode, one Player must make sure that the other Player isn't hindered from advancing further.
 * The table below describes how many Yam Yams are in a set, the amount of Empty Space they are allowed to move through, and info on whether a Yam Yam moves in a certain way or if there is an Emerald. Later sets explicitly describe how to avoid being devoured by the Yam Yams in a particular way.


 * Going into the Exit
 * After collecting the last Emerald, a pair of Exits are located at the end of the narrow pathway past through the last 2 (two) Yam Yams.

Level 4 (Single Player)
Level 4 (Single Player)

Level 4 in Single Player mode consists of two sections of the level, with each section containing a pool of Acid at below, and Amoeba at above with the occasional stalagmite-shaped Amoebas with different lengths; the particular bottom section has more stalagmite-shaped Amoebas than the top section. The level introduces Amoeba, Amoeba Drops, Keys, Doors, Acid, and Acid Pool Walls. The difficulty of the level is somewhat lowered due to the somewhat slower pace.


 * Amoeba are green organic walls with holes that produce Amoeba and Amoeba Drops at a certain speed determined by a level to level basis.
 * Amoeba Drops are green liquid drops that appear from Amoeba; they fall down half-speed of a falling object. It can harm the Player from above.
 * Keys are colored instruments with different bow shapes and blades that can be collected by the Player. They allow access to a particular Door that matches the color of the Key
 * Doors are colored gates with differing patterns that block anyone that doesn't have the required Key to go through it.
 * Acid is a pool of orange liquid that dissolves anything that goes into it, such as an Amoeba Drop, or Players.
 * Acid Pool Walls are green borders that cover the top and bottom of the left and right side, and the middle bottom; they act similar to Normal Walls, Letter Walls, and Steel Walls: being impassable in any way.

Two new ways to lose in the level are being harmed by a Amoeba Drop and going into the Acid.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, it takes place in the top-left section of the level, sheltered from Amoeba Drops at the left. Additionally, at the left side of the level, there are Keys and Diamonds blocked by Doors.
 * There are 300 seconds (5 minutes) in the level, with 200 seconds more than previous level (Level 3).
 * The Amoeba growth speed is 112 out of 999; Amoeba Drops are produced at a somewhat common rate.
 * There are ten (10) Diamonds to acquire in the level, but they are blocked by colored Doors at the left side. They require colored Keys that match the color of the Door. To access to the Diamonds and dodge Amoeba Drops along the way, move right.


 * Dodging Amoeba Drops in the caverns
 * While trying to grab the appropriate Keys and Diamonds, dodge Amoeba Drops along the way.
 * Amoeba from above will occasionally grow new Amoeba.
 * It is preferable to stay away from the Acid below to lessen the chances from accidentally going into it.
 * The only way to completely avoid Amoeba Drops is sheltering to the left or right side of the level. Both of the sides have small openings between the Steel Wall and Acid Pool Walls.
 * The table describes where which section to go, what Door needs to be passed through, and what kind of Key and number of Diamonds will be collected to complete the level.


 * Going into the Exit
 * After taking the last four (4) Diamonds, the Exit is located in the upper section of the level. Go back to the starting area and go through the Red Door and Blue Door.

Level 4 (Teamwork)
Level 4 (Teamwork)

Level 5
Level 5

Level 5 consists of a set of Spaceships guarding a pair of Emeralds in the center of each section. The level introduces Spaceships, a new enemy that must be faced. A different kind of difficulty is brought up.


 * Spaceships are technological creatures the follow the left side of the wall; they stop for a moment to turn around a corner. They harm the Player upon touching next to it.
 * Empty Space can be occupied by creatures such as Spaceships.

A new way to lose in the level is touching a Spaceship on contact.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, it takes place in the top-left side of the level; with the first sighting of a Spaceship below, equipped with a whirring mechanical sound as it moves on it's own.
 * There are 100 seconds (1 minute and 40 seconds) in the level, with 200 seconds less than the previous level in Single Player Mode (Level 4 Single Player) or 20 seconds less than the previous level in Teamwork Mode (Level 4 Teamwork).
 * There are twenty (20) Emeralds to snatch. To face the Spaceships that guard the Emeralds, approach one of the two sets of sections.


 * Confronting the guarding Spaceships
 * There are ten (10) sections in the level: half of the sections are "n"-shaped at the top, and half of the sections are "u"-shaped at the bottom.
 * There are three approaches to tackle this problem: (1) Grab the Emeralds headfirst (use less time, more risk) – A self-explanatory idea. However, there is a higher risk of getting harmed by a Spaceship due to both the Player and the Spaceship moving at the same time.  (2) Go to the middle between the "n" and "u"-shaped sections (time and risk is between approach 1 and 3) – There is a stem of Dirt that leads up to the two (2) Emeralds at the top or bottom side. It is safe to take them as long as the Spaceship isn't moving around the stem.  (3) Derail the Spaceships '  movement path (use more time, less risk) – Spaceships move by following the left side of the wall; exploit their movement path by creating a loop next to it. Create an opening for the Spaceship to go into; once it leaves their guarding zone, complete the loop. The Spaceship will be stuck going around the loop so that the pair of Emeralds can be safely retrieved.


 * Going into the Exit
 * After collecting the last Emerald, the pair of Exits are located in the right-bottom corner of the level.

Level 6
Level 6

Level 6 consists of small amount of Bugs enclosed in cells, with ungrowing Amoeba sparsely occupying in the Dirt randomly, followed by a long irregular Steel Wall attaching most of the cells going from right to left that separates the level almost in half. The level introduces Bugs, another creature that must be faced.


 * Bugs are blue insect creatures that follow the right side of the wall; they stop a moment to turn around a corner. Upon exploding, they contain eight (8) Emeralds and one (1) Diamond in the center. They harm the Player upon being contacted next to it.
 * Amoeba cannot grow as specified by a level to level basis. They can also make Bugs explode upon contact.

Two new ways to lose in the level are being harmed by a Bug on contact and getting caught in the Bug ' s explosion.


 * Starting area
 * Upon starting the level, with the first spotting of a Bug below, occupied with a crawling sound as they move.
 * There are 250 seconds (4 minutes, and 10 seconds) in the level, with 150 seconds more than the previous level (Level 5).
 * The Amoeba growth speed is 0 out of 999; there is no attempt for the Amoeba to grow at all.
 * There are 99 gems to collect, but there are no gems at all. To find them, send a Bug towards a tile of Amoeba.


 * Collecting gems from exploded Bugs
 * There are nine (9) cells that contain a single Bug, with one of them containing a pair of Bugs.
 * There are ten (10) Bugs in the level, but only nine (9) of them are needed. An extra Bug is provided in-case a loop is accidentally created, or if one of them explodes next to the Steel Wall. If another Bug falls under one of these two scenarios as described, the level cannot be solved, requiring a retry.
 * It is suggested to use the snap ability to remove a tile of Dirt without walking towards it to safely release the Bugs from the cell.
 * In Teamwork mode, to complete the level faster: One Player can guide the Bugs '  path to the Amoeba. One Player can collect the gems.
 * To access to the bottom side of the level, move left.


 * Going to the Exit
 * Both of the Exits are at the left of the starting area sitting next to a tile of Amoeba, separated by Steel Wall.
 * In Single Player mode, if a single Exit is destroyed, the other Exit can be used. In Teamwork mode, if the same situation applies, the level is rendered impossible to complete, requiring a restart.

Level 7
Level 7

Level 7 consists of two sections; with one section composed of of rooms blocked by Amoeba and Normal Walls, and the other section composed of a funnel containing Boulders in the top and bottom side, and a load of Diamonds in the middle. The level introduces the Magic Wall, and Quicksand.


 * Magic Walls are blue walls that can be activated by dropping a Boulder or Diamond through for a certain amount of time; the following objects can be changed:
 * Boulder → Emerald
 * Diamond → Boulder
 * Quicksand are wave-pattern brown walls that lets Boulder fall through with delay.

Due to a group of Spaceships, there is a higher chance of being harmed upon touching if not released properly.


 * Starting area: Freeing the Spaceships
 * Upon starting the level, it takes place in the upper middle right side of the level in a room full of Dirt, occupied by twelve (12) Spaceships rotating in place trapped by twelve (12) Emeralds next to it.
 * The Amoeba growth speed is 0 out of 999; with no chance to grow at all.
 * The Magic Wall duration is 300 frames (60 seconds).
 * There are thirty-six (36) Emeralds to collect in the level. To escape to the left side, dig a path from the Spaceship to first Amoeba gate.
 * The first five (5) Emeralds can safely be dropped to release the Spaceships and send them towards the Amoeba gates.
 * The last seven (7) Emeralds requires the use of snapping to retrieve them without touching the Spaceships.


 * Escaping through the rooms
 * After the last Spaceship is released, go through a series of rectangular rooms linearly that vary in shape and size as a series of released Spaceships follow the left side of the wall.
 * Wait for the last Spaceships to destroy the rest of the Amoeba gates, and stay out of the Spaceship ' s pathway and explosion radius.


 * Funnel the objects through the Magic Wall
 * After the last Amoeba gate is cleared out, move left to come across the funnel and two (2) Magic Wall tiles.
 * Dig both Dirt tiles between the Boulders and Magic Walls to start the noisy process.
 * There are two ways to tackle the pile of converted Boulders and Emeralds: (1) Be brave and collect the Emeralds as more objects fall down (use less time, more risk) – Utilize the Boulders above for protection from other falling objects while sweeping for the Emeralds under it, and let the rest of the Boulders go through the line of Quicksand into the Acid.  (2) Wait for all the contents filter through the Magic Walls (use more time, less risk) – Another self-explanatory decision; it will take twenty-five (25) seconds for all the objects to be filtered through.


 * Going to the Exit
 * A pair of Exits are located inside the funnel at the upper left and right side.
