Mindore

Fourteen caves. Most of them can be lost with a single careless step. Mindore is a dig-and-dodge puzzler in the boulder-and-dirt tradition, rebuilt for Android. Tunnel through the dirt, collect every heart, destroy every ghost, and reach the exit before the cave - or your own last move - buries you. WHAT IS DOWN THERE - Boulders fall the moment you dig out whatever was holding them up, and roll off anything rounded. You can push one, if there is room on the other side. - Hearts are what you came for. They fall and roll exactly like boulders, which is rarely convenient. - Bombs go off in a plus shape when something lands on them, and set off every other bomb they reach. - Balloons run the same physics upside down. They float, and they will happily pin you to the ceiling. - Ghosts follow walls with one hand and kill on contact. Drop something heavy on one and it bursts into hearts. - Steel is forever. Brick is solid but rounded. Dirt is a decision you only get to make once. HOW A GHOST DIES MATTERS Crush a ghost yourself and the kill is credited to you: it gives back its place in the tally and scatters hearts. Catch one in an explosion and the kill is credited to nobody, the tally never clears, and the exit stays shut for the rest of the attempt. Nothing on screen will tell you. The last cave is built on that rule. BUILT FOR A PHONE - Portrait, one hand, no account, no network. - Pick your controls in Settings: an on-screen D-pad, or swipe only. Either way, gestures on the playfield itself stay live alongside it. - Progress is kept on the device. Continue picks up any run that still has lives in it. - No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. The app asks for no permissions at all. Fourteen caves. Two of them are a gentle introduction. One of them is called The Furnace, and it is not.
