Gold Strike

Who knew that working in a gold mine would be such a wacky fun job? First of all, you've got infinite picks to throw. How cool is that? And then there's the almost limitless gold. Huge bricks too! Oh, but you are on a tight schedule. And there is the problem of the mine collapsing. But all in all, video game gold mines are way cooler then the real thing.

You are a miner, looking to score points by finding gold. Click on a block of rock or gold to throw a pick ax at it. If two or more blocks of the same type are connected, all of the connected blocks will be removed. You are awarded points for gold blocks, or blocks with special objects in them. Your score for gold blocks depends on how many blocks are in the group. Occasionally, the mine will shake and the blocks will move forward. New blocks will drop from above. Keep the blocks from filling the mine. If you can keep the blocks from filling the mine before the end of the level, you'll score a bonus for each empty column and can move on to the next level. To maximize your score, wait until larger groups of gold form before throwing your ax.
