## Description

After restoring Topcatzintlmex the Olmec spirit, he asks you to restore his
homeland, with tonnes of gems as your reward. This involves being presented
with grids of gems (from 5 by 5 to 30 by 30, generally increasing as you work
through over 200 levels), and working out which squares contain treasure, and
which do not. The player must move the mouse around the screen clicking as
appropriate, switching (using the right mouse button, or by clicking on the
appropriate symbols) between the hand to collect the gems, and a hammer to
smash the normal squares. You have four pots of magic glue, with one used up
every time you accidentally destroy a gem. There is a time limit; clicking on
cursed tiles causes a loss of time.

To work out which are which, there are numbers next to each row and column. If
there is a single number, you can know that there is one continuous sequence
of this number of gems. Multiple numbers mean multiple sequences of good
squares, with one or more dud squares in between. The trick is to combine
these sequences in your mind across the horizontal and vertical plains, to
satisfy both criteria at once.

After completing each temple’s set of levels, you are presented with a bonus
level. Completed lines are removed and replaced, and the aim is to collect a
full sack’s worth on gems within the time limit.
