About This Game

Mosiek, a determined dwarf seeking to prove his worthiness to marry Rachel, ventures into an enchanted realm where he must demonstrate his cunning and agility by collecting hearts scattered throughout treacherous caverns. Each of the game's 64 levels challenges players to gather every heart before a portal opens, all while navigating around tumbling rocks and navigating mazes of stone walls. Armed with bombs and balloons as tools to manipulate the environment, Mosiek must avoid being crushed beneath falling debris while clearing the path forward. The marriage awaits only those skilled enough to survive the gauntlet and claim every precious heart along the way.
