Hyper Lode Runner

Your goal is to collect gold scattered on the platforms made of bricks connected by ladders. You are chased by robots (cyborgs) that will end your character's life if they catch him, even though you can stand on their heads. Your main weapon is the ability to dig both to the left and right of your character. The holes you dig are only temporary and will refill themselves. A robot that falls into one of your holes will be destroyed if the hole fills up before it can escape. Your character can also suffer the same fate and end its life. Destroyed robots are replaced by new ones that appear at the top of the screen. The robots can also carry gold, which they drop when they fall into a hole. The robot's movements are dependent on your movements, and an important part of the game is figuring out how to use the robot's movements to your advantage to get past a level. As well as bricks and ladders, the levels also feature blocks (which can't be dug into), ropes (to cross chasms) and crumbling bricks (which you fall through). Once you have collected all the gold, a missing ladder segment will appear, which your character can use to reach the next level. In some levels, there are keys and doors that offer an alternative way out of the level.
