You tunnel through dirt and pump up underground monsters until they pop, or drop rocks on them. It turns maze-chasing into a sandbox because you dig your own maze.

Tips
Play it better
- Monsters are worth more the deeper they are, so lure them down before popping them.
- Fygars, the dragons, are worth double when you pump them from the side.
- Dig under a rock and lure several enemies beneath it to crush them for big points.
- Drop two rocks in a round and a vegetable bonus appears in the center.
- Keep pumping a monster to stun it, even if you don't finish it off.
- Watch for Fygar's fire, which passes through dirt walls.
