Diamond Rush is a 2D puzzle and platform game, in which you will have to go through caverns full of dangers, while you try to loot all the treasure you find along the way. This version of the game is a direct adaptation of the original, which was first released for mobile devices with buttons in 2006 and later for Blackberry in 2009. Much later, in 2020, the game would also be released natively for Android operating system.
The controls in Diamond Rush are very simple: with the virtual arrow keys, located on the left side of the screen, you can move your character from one side to another; while with the asterisk button you can 'suicide' him if at some point we get stuck. This decision may seem curious, but considering that you will spend a lot of time moving rocks back and forth, it is very likely that you will get stuck a few times during your adventures.
The main mechanics of Diamond Rush, as some of the older players may already know, is inspired by the classic Boulder Dash, a puzzle platformer game released in 1984 for Atari, in which the goal was to go into a series of dungeons to get as many diamonds as possible, avoiding all kinds of dangers, such as rocks that could crush you. Sounds similar, doesn't it? No wonder, after all, Boulder Dash is so influential that 25 years later ports and adaptations are still coming out.
In Diamond Rush players will have to face more than forty different levels, spread over three different regions: Germany, Tibet and Angkor Wat. Throughout the levels, you will have to overcome a number of different dangers, which of course will vary depending on the region in which you find yourself: snakes, spiders, fire traps, spikes, rocks, and many more. Each new level will present you with a more difficult challenge than the previous one. You will need cunning, but also a lot of skill and great speed of thought.
Diamond Rush is a true classic of games for old mobile devices, which now comes to Android while retaining all the original charm. The same graphics, the same controls (but adapted to touch screens), and the same levels as always. A real gift for the most nostalgic players, who will now be able to enjoy this jewel turned into a video game again.
