Gold Miner 2 Instructions

Note: The instructions below are for the old Adobe Flash game.

HOW TO PLAY. Reel up gold and other valuable items to make enough money to advance to the next level.

After the game loads, click the "PLAY" button in the middle of the game.

Your timing must be just right to grab the treasure with your claw and reel. Concentrate carefully!

Collect the target money by the end of the level, or it's game over. Your money carries over from one level to the next.

Your claw swings back and forth automatically. Press the Down Arrow key on your keyboard to lower the claw. If you drop the claw in the wrong direction, press the Left Arrow key to quickly pull it back up. Press the Up Arrow key to toss dynamite.

Once the claw has grabbed something, it will reel it up. Heavy objects like rocks and large pieces of gold will be harder to reel up.

Between levels, you can buy items that can help you mine faster and more efficiently.

Examples of items you can buy:

• Dynamite - for blowing up unvaluable items you grab accidentally, like gray rocks

• Rock Book - makes plain rocks more valuable

• Four Leaf Clover - prizes in the money backs are better for that round

• Strength Potion - reel everything up faster for that round. I highly recommend this!

If you accidentally blow up everything on a level, or you just feel like going on, click the "Next Level" button. However, if you haven't met your goal this option is not available.
