Lode Runner (set 1)

Lode Runner is a renowned action-puzzle game from the 1980s. You play as a skillful thief whose mission is to collect all the gold in each level and escape the maze before time runs out. Each level is a complex maze with walls, pits, and guards constantly watching. You will have to use your skills to dig paths, set traps for the guards, and find a way to escape. The game doesn't allow you to directly fight the guards; instead, you must use your intelligence and dexterity to avoid them. You can dig blocks of earth to create new paths, collapse blocks of earth to block the guards' way, or create holes for them to fall into. Managing energy and time is also crucial to completing the level. Lode Runner is known for its increasing difficulty, requiring players to think strategically and have quick reflexes. Each level presents a new challenge, demanding creativity and patience to find the optimal solution. The combination of fast-paced action and puzzle elements has made Lode Runner enduringly popular to this day.
