## Description
_PretzelDash_ is a Boulder Dash variant that’s all about curled-up salty
baked goods. The premise of its classic 8-bit predecessor remains intact: the
protagonist is sent down to the pretzel mines, digging for grub and
(hopefully) avoiding the numerous lurking dangers – falling boulders,
wandering monsters, explosions and inescapable traps. However, other mission
types exist in addition to the usual stage goal of eating a set number of
pretzels.
These missions differ between stages, and range from merely reaching the exit
intact to performing arbitrary tasks on unsuspecting objects and enemies. The
enemies (brown monsters) may have things dropped on them, and the resulting
explosion can open up inaccessible areas; in contrast, the blue monsters are
harmless, and sometimes have to be exploited and manipulated to complete the
mission. Some objects obey the laws of gravity – rocks and pretzels roll off
and pile up when unsupported by dirt. Others do not, and the green balloons
rise up in the air instead of falling down. Instead of a time limit for each
mission, the time limit is merely recorded for scoring purposes.
