Golden Quest

display: raster

91 levels of Lode Runner cloning implemented as an add-on to the KGoldrunner game.

Collect all the gold and make it to the top of the screen to complete a level. Repeat 90 times. Dig pits left or right to temporarily remove a brick and/or temporarily trap enemies which also causes them to drop any gold they are carrying. The player may also jump into the area of a removed brick and fall if there is no brick (or enemy) underneath. The player and enemies may also run through an area where a brick was removed. The player and enemies are destroyed if they are caught in a regenerating brick, but enemies will re-spawn. Trap door bricks look like regular bricks, but the player and enemies fall down through them. Players and enemies can leave a trap door brick if there is nothing else in the way but cannot enter one from the side. The player can run on top of enemies if they are not on a ladder (as a ladder lets them climb up and touch the player). Enemies can touch the player for an instant death and may carry one package of gold at a time which they may drop most anywhere whenever. Some level design uses the digging mechanics to create complex puzzles while other design focuses on timing to avoid and confuse enemies. Enemies can be isolated by careful planing and/or digging. When all the gold packages are collected by the player, new ladders may appear on the screen. These can allow the player to climb to the top, make it easier to climb to the top, and may also free enemies that were isolated from the player. It is possible a level may become uncompletable if enemies are isolated while carrying gold and the player cannot get them out to drop it or get in to the area to take it from them by pitting them or if they drop it. A level may become uncompletable if the player isolates themselves from an escape route.
