About the Game

A New Kind of Puzzle Game!

Blast blocks with bombs and uncover hidden treasures!

- The Age of Interstellar Voyages -

In an ultra-advanced space civilization, humanity has surpassed the speed of light

and ventured into the vast, dark seas of the cosmos.

Newly discovered planets, one after another, captivate the curiosity of people,

and the research and exploration of these worlds have become grand entertainment.

Those who achieve great discoveries are rewarded with

immense honor and enormous wealth.

On this planet, Alesta, two adventurers with such dreams have landed.

Coco, the planet researcher. Orbol, the miner.

Now begins the grand excavation saga of this mismatched duo...

<Rules>

- Treasures of various shapes are hidden within the blocks.

- Use bombs to destroy the blocks and clear all surrounding ones to successfully excavate the treasure!

- But be cautious—if the blast hits the treasure, it will be damaged.

- If the treasure’s damage exceeds a certain level, the excavation fails.

- Excavated treasures will be recorded in your Treasure Compendium. Aim to complete the collection!

<Story Mode>

Experience the adventures of Coco and Olbol in Story Mode!

Uncover the secrets of Planet Alesta through excavation.

<Endless Mode>

Fill up the Treasure Compendium as you go!

- High Score: Aim for the highest score possible.
