Phase 1: Use the arrow keys to dig around and create paths. Your stamina meter lasts for 100 shovelfuls. Uncover three artifacts in each stage. Place bombs in treacherous areas.
Phase 2: Escape the underground and all the baddies you've just unleashed.



Your trusty magnifying glass will help you uncover hidden goods.
Water: Restores some stamina
Turkey leg: Restores all stamina
Bomb bag: Gain three additional bombs



When all three artifacts are retrieved, phase 2 begins. Run for your life and seek out items as the ground crumbles beneath your feet.
There are many enemies you will face, but here's a tip for the two most common enemies.
Snakes: Move in a horizontal pattern. When stuck in a column, they will block the way out.
Bats: Move in a vertical pattern. When stuck in a row, they will block the way out.
Judiciously employ your bombs to clear out tricky areas, or dig around hazards and make multiple exit routes.

Survive all four stages. Permanently alter the course of human history with your discoveries in MALARCHAEOLOGY.
