You are Roderick Hero, a one-man rescue team. Miners working in Mount Leone are trapped. You are equipped with a backpack helicopter unit, which allows him to hover and fly, along with a helmet laser and a limited supply of dynamite. Each level is a maze of mine shafts that you must navigate to reach the miner trapped at the bottom. The backpack has a limited amount of power, so you must reach the miner before the power supply is exhausted. Mine shafts may be blocked by cave-ins or magma, which require dynamite to clear. The helmet laser can also destroy cave-ins, but far more slowly than dynamite. Unlike a cave-in, magma is lethal when touched.
