Undoubtly a silly question...

Post by boulderdash4ever »

But that is worrying me so much! :-/
What is the number on the right of the diamond, on the top left of the screen?
Thank you for your help,
and greetings from France ;-)

this number is amount of diamonds you have to collect before outbox starts flashing (and you'll be able to proceed to the next cave).

Actually the number you talk is the one at the left of the diamond...
There are 5 number:
The first that gives you the number of diamonds required to access the exit
Then you have a diamond, three when diamonds required are collected
The second is the one that is the object of my question
The third is the diamonds already collected
The fourth is time, and the last is the score
Anyway thanks for your help ;-)

I am truly sorry, I have misread your question. :(

Of course the number you are asking about is the number of points you get for collecting single diamond.

For every cave there can be set two different values for diamonds - one before you collect required amount of diamonds and the second one - usually higher - for extra diamonds found.

Every 500 points you get extra life (in most of the games).

Thank you so much I admit that I would never have found the answer!!!
Besides it's true that the number change when we get the diamonds required
