Gold Miner

Dig through the Lost Mine in search of gold, blasting a route with a limited stock of charges. The mine map fills the screen, with a dead miner marking each life lost and the assay office waiting at the top to bank your finds. Speed does not matter here: the article's author pointed out that you can walk away and come back to it later.

Controls: Stick moves the miner, no diagonals; fire sets off a blast.
