Boulders and Diamonds

Retro games have always been popular regardless of what device you play them on and for Android we have seen some really good retro style games released onto the market. Boulders and Diamonds, developed by Arkadiusz Kolacz, is another nice retro game cloned after the 8-bit game Boulder Dash complete with 8-bit graphics and original levels to play.

Boulders and Diamonds graphics are true 8-bit style graphics featuring that blocky look we used to see back in the day in pretty much every game that came out. Even the slight animations of the character and the diamonds reflects the good ole days of games. The goal of the game is to dig your way through each level collecting the diamond while avoiding the obstacles.

Controls are also pretty straightforward, just press in the direction you want your character to go. The game comes with both on-screen controls or you can use the trackball if you prefer that method. Either way the controls respond well letting you just enjoy the retro gameplay.

Features:

  • Cool retro 8-bit graphics and animation
  • 3 sets of original levels
  • On-screen or trackball controls
  • 5 difficulties to choose

 

This is one of those games that if you enjoy retro gaming then you will definitely enjoy this title. It is the kind of game that you can pick up and play right away whether it is for a few minutes to kill some time or for an hour and go hardcore at it without getting bored. With 3 sets of levels and 5 difficulties to choose from, your game can be really well customized to how you want it.

Even better is that you can pick this game up off the Android market for free (ad supported). While the game is ad supported, the ads are left out during gameplay and only appear when you exit the game. A great addition to any retro fan’s collection of retro games.
