📜Deep in a subterranean labyrinth where physics doesn't exist, gravity is a distant memory: here, you can walk on the ground or move upside down along the lower surface, defying all logic. A daring explorer enters this upside-down world with a single goal: to collect the precious, brilliant gems falling from the rock. Guarding the cave's treasures, however, is a towering rock monster, a relentless guardian ready to bar his path. With no weapons at his disposal, the explorer has only one way to ward off the creature and clear a path through the ravines: throw rocks at it.

💾 The download includes the game ROM, a small PDF manual, and BEZEL for the Stella emulator. The demo  is available for download or to play in browser.

💻Press SELECT to start. You can walk above or below the ground to collect gems that fall from the rock before they hit the ground. Don't get hit by the rock monster and don't hit the side walls. The only way to stop the rock monster is to throw a rock at it. To throw, hold down the fire button and move the joystick toward the monster. The more gems you collect, the faster they fall. And the monster becomes more aggressive. You have to run faster and faster. You only have three lives. 20 POINTS for each monster hit, 10 POINTS for each gem taken.

🏆 I make games exclusively for the Atari 2600 and would like to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the single person to have made the most games for a single console.  That's why I've set myself the goal of making at least 180.

🎮 The games I released last year (over 40) will be free to download forever, but to fund this endeavor, the ones released in 2026 will be available for the ridiculous price of $2 (not exactly everyone 😉). If you'd like to help, I'd be grateful.

👍🏻 You'll also find new releases on   Mastodon, Bluesky,  X ,   Facebook  and YouYube where you'd be welcome to leave a like.

🔨 I can make custom games for free for anyone who requests them (as long as they're within my capabilities). Email me at the address below.
