Puzzle elements

Surely you ever played Supaplex - great puzzle game, you could spent the night enjoying it, but also you had a time, when you wanted to smash the keyboard with rage. Boulder Dash is a forerunner of Supaplex, the principle of both games is almost the same, only the graphics was nicer in Supaplex. In the game Boulder Dash you control a tiny critter who walks through the various levels and is tasked to collect diamonds. Diamonds are often in the places where you can be overwhelm by large rocks and you need to pay attention so boulder won't fall on you. When a large boulder hits your head, logically, you're dead. When there is a stone in the way, you can push it a little further (if you have previously cleaned (ate) the room behind it).
