This is really fun to play! Pretty happy with my high score, but I'll have to see if I can beat it sometime. I didn't realize until about halfway through, but it seems like the best strategy is to only go for the gold blocks and ignore all the other ones. At first I was trying to get the gold and the blue, but I think the blue blocks just distract you from the gold, which is a lot more valuable.
Thanks for the additional comment here. Yes that is a good strategy! My laid back method is to dig all the gold at the beginning, and then you could just live long enough to let the score get to 6000. Cheese-mode.
Thinking of adding another block with an endless mode till you die just for the hell of it.
