Cuthbert in the Mines

In this episode in Cuthbert’s adventurous life, he finds himself in something
that could be described as hell, even though the title tells us that it is a
mine. One could say that it is a cross between both. A queue of Cuthberts wait
to be rescued from the mine, which means climbing up through several levels of
rails with ore wagons before reaching the surface. This can be described as
similar to the road in Frogger in gameplay, but is complicated by the ladder
on which Satan himself climbs back and forth, firing a bolt of fire at
Cuthbert whenever he finds himself at the same layer. Being hit by the fire
means that Cuthbert is sent falling to a certain death in the flaming pits of
hell which is found beneath the rails. Being hit by a rail car, on the other
hand, simply means that he is sent back to a lower rail. If he is hit by
another wagon there, the procedure is repeated, until he eventually winds up
in the flames anyway. The line of Cuthberts is seemingly infinite, but after
five are killed, it’s game over. As they reach the surface, the skill level is
raised, which means that the cars go at a faster pace and with smaller gaps
between them.
