Do any of you guys remember Lode Runner? It's that classic game from the 80's hailed by Gamespot as one of the greatest games of all time. Now, we have just heard news that snowymydog has just released his second homebrew game, Treasure of Pharaoh v0.1. And whaddya know, it's a clone of Lode Runner! He said he spent a whole month working on this so if you like all 150 levels of it, please drop him a line or two alright? Nobody wants to feel that their work is unappreciated, yenno. Hehe. The download file below includes separate versions for FW1.0-2.x and FW 1.5. Alright, on to the more important stuff:

Controls:
  • D-pad - move the player
  • Square - dig a hole at left
  • Circle - dig a hole at right
  • Start - pause the game
  • Select+triangle - restart current level. Some maps are tricky, you'll have a chance to run into a place that you can't go out. Use this function to restart the current map, however, this will costs you 1life.
  • Select+R trigger - advance to next level. Costs 1 life.
  • L trigger - back to previous level. Don't costs life.
Additional notes from snowymydog:

1. Hi-Score and Options is not working at the moment.
2. The AI is not same as the original, some map may become impossible to complete. I'm begging you to report, I'll try to fix.
3. When a level is completed, game will be auto saved and you've got an extra life.
4. Some tiles are "fake floor", they look the same as the real ground, but you cannot dig on it. When you stand on it, it will drop to next floor. **THIS IS NOT A BUG**
