Check out the action in each of Lode Runner's six play modes and learn more about the many ways you can play the game.
1 Player Journey
The single-player adventure includes 80 levels of classic Lode Runner action - running, climbing, blasting, and grabbing gold - and 16 bonus rooms filled with treasure. Once a level has been completed, your Runner will move to the next level via a transition path or, in the case of mechanical levels, through a room that morphs into a new configuration. Hidden within a secret block in each level is an enemy holding a valuable diamond worth extra points!
2 Player Co-Op Journey
Two players team up to outwit enemies and secure all the booty in the new co-op Journey mode. The action takes place in 48 levels cunningly crafted to require co-operative strategies; 12 gold-filled bonus rooms await teams that play nice together. If one partner falls to an enemy, they can be revived by the touch of the surviving team member. Special "co-operative" techniques allow the two of you to nab seemingly out-of-reach gold.
1 Player Hang On
Within eight endless levels you'll find vast treasures of gold and an increasing number of enemies - up to eight at one time. The goal is to avoid, trap or kill the enemies and keep your run alive for as long as you can while grabbing as much gold as possible. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond awards attest to your bullion-bagging prowess.
2 - 4 Player Last Man
In 12 special battle levels, from two to four players attempt to outlast each other in ultra-competitive matches lasting from one to five rounds. Every Runner is for himself, and not even death can stop them from seeking revenge since the first to die are the first to avenge...as enemies! But the danger is increased even further since each Runner is also hunted by a foe (of the same color). The Runner with the longest survival time wins bragging rights.
1 Player Puzzle
Making your way through 50 levels without having to worry about enemies may sound simple, but the complexity grows with each new puzzle, and both speed and dexterity become critical to solving them.
2 Player Co-Op Puzzle
You and a partner will need twice the brain power to puzzle your way through 26 fiendishly clever levels. Teamwork is an absolute must!
