Hints & Tips:
Watch out for Fygars (the green monster). They breathe fire that can get DIG DUG from afar and through dirt. Fygars can only breathe fire horizontally.
Enemies are worth more points if you blow them up at lower depths.
A vegetable appears if you drop two rocks during each round. The more rounds you clear, the more points the vegetables are worth.
