Underground: Difference between revisions

The game itself is similar to {{wp|Battleship (game)|Battleship}} or {{wp|Minesweeper (computer game)|Minesweeper}}. At the start, the cave wall is shown, represented by a grid full of squares. There are three depths of wall: the tan soil, which can be broken through in one hit, the darker soil, which needs two hits to be broken through, and the large rocks, which each need three hits to be broken through. The player digs into the wall with a pick, which chips away small areas of rock, and a hammer, which breaks a larger area of the rock. Each spot will hide one to four [[item]]s, including [[sphere]]s, [[Fossil]]s, [[Revive]]s, [[Heart Scale]]s, [[shard]]s, pre-Generation IV [[evolutionary stone]]s, [[Plate]]s, and a few [[held item]]s. Iron pieces are also in the wall, which cannot be dug out and prevent further mining upon discovery (that is, when they are uncovered on a direct hit, no other spaces are revealed until the next hit). Upon hitting a piece of iron a small 'ping' will be heard. Each hit will bring the wall closer to collapsing; if the wall collapses before everything is dug up, the game ends and the player is rewarded with what they dug up before the wall collapsed. Spheres the player has mined are stored separately from other itmes (called treasures in game); up to 40 sets of Speheres and up to 40 treasures can be carried by the player, in order to acquire more, he or she has to make room in the Underground's Bag, for example, by burying the Spheres or by sending the treasures to the Bag in the overworld.
