🎯 Goal: Dig as deep as you can! Your score is based on how far you descend.

🃏 Cards: Collect cards by digging through dirt. When you have 5 cards, build poker hands and press SPACE to submit for points and energy.

⚡ Energy: Every dig costs energy. Submit hands to restore energy. Eat mushrooms for +20⚡. If you run out, submit a hand to survive!

⛏️ Digging: Dirt takes more energy to dig the deeper you go. Rocks take more hits to break at greater depths.

💎 Gems: Find gems in chests. They give bonuses to your poker hands (chips × multiplier).

🦇 Bats: Watch out! Bats steal your cards. Buy Bat Spray to protect yourself.

🏆 Decks: Complete a full 52-card collection for +25 max energy!

📢 Admin Message
Wumpus Alert
The Cave Wumpus has found you! He appears when you linger too long without digging deeper.
To make him go away, keep digging down! You might be able to scare him off with a power-up later...or a well-placed rock.
If he catches you, it's game over! Unless you have 3 or more gems — then he'll steal them and leave you alone... temporarily.
🐍 Treasure Snake!
When you collect a chest, the Treasure Snake may appear. He follows your path through the earth with a slight delay.
If you kill him with a rock, blast, or arrow, you'll get a reward!
If he touches you, it's game over!
You Outran the Wumpus!
Keep going downward in general or he will come back.
HINT: Wumpus does not like rocks!
