Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use a bubble to reach a high ledge.
  2. 2
    Touch the checkpoint and head up the ladder, using platforms to advance. Collect gems.
  3. 3
    Kill the enemy and proceed to the next screen, navigating spikes. Destroy dirt walls on each side to find gems.
  4. 4
    In the next screen, a GIANT dragon will spit bubbles. Jump on its head repeatedly to defeat it.
  5. 5
    Head down to face a skeleton. Defeat it with a jump, then destroy all heads and dirt walls to continue downwards.
  6. 6
    Free gems from a pile and hit the right dirt wall to reveal more gems. Follow the path up and hit the next dirt wall, which contains two slimes. Defeat them.
  7. 7
    In the next screen with spikes and two enemies, kill the enemies but DO NOT go right. Instead, hit the left wall to find a secret room. Collect the gems and the first [_MUSIC SHEET_]. Note the deposit on the wall by the entrance.
  8. 8
    Head back right. Before destroying the dirt, hit the deposit off the wall for gems. Destroy the dirt and monster.
  9. 9
    Grab the gem in the air, using the dirt on the right and jumping off a small dragon.
  10. 10
    Climb the dirt and hit the wall at the top for a PINK GEM (200 GOLD). Destroy the dirt here. Collect the [_TURKEY_] on the plate to restore health if needed.
  11. 11
    Use a bubble to jump the gap. Let the slime kill itself. Dig the dirt and continue up.
  12. 12
    Use the dragon on the first platform to hop to the second, then jump to the far right ledge. Hit the wall to uncover a secret area with two big gaps.
  13. 13
    Use bubbles to cross the gaps. Destroy the dirt in the middle if desired. Collect the second [_MUSIC SHEET_] at the far end.
  14. 14
    Head back. Hit the bottom right wall to uncover a skeleton and gems. Defeat the skeleton.
  15. 15
    Jump to the ledge (dragon not needed) and hit the right wall again to find another skeleton and a deposit. Defeat the skeleton and collect the gems.
  16. 16
    Jump to the uncovered right ladder, which leads to a closed [_CHEST_]. Break the lock and collect the gems. Head back down, kill the dragon for money, and head up.
  17. 17
    Head right, jumping over gaps with flying dragons and a slime.
  18. 18
    Break the dirt and defeat the large bubble dragon near the pit by bouncing on its head, being careful of the pit. Collect the gems heading to the pit.
  19. 19
    In the next screen with pits and a skeleton, stand near the edge to let the skeleton kill itself, or perform a tricky one-space jump to reach the ladder.
  20. 20
    Head up. Dig the dirt leading down, but first get the dirt to the left (shovel swipe after bouncing to stop).
  21. 21
    Head down and kill the two slimes, then get the deposit. Hit the floor under the ledge to find a big pink gem, then take the ladder up.
  22. 22
    Bounce on the left dragon and head LEFT. Use the bubble to jump the gap and find another [_CHEST_].
  23. 23
    Head back right. The last checkpoint is here, followed by the first boss.
