Diamond Rush

Diamond Rush is a skill-based arcade game available within the Krang PlayArena.
The game combines navigation, timing, and spatial awareness within a maze-based environment.

Players control a character that moves through a labyrinth collecting diamonds while avoiding hostile entities.
The objective is to clear the maze efficiently while maintaining control under increasing pressure.

Gameplay Overview​

In Diamond Rush, players navigate a closed maze filled with collectible diamonds.

  • diamonds are distributed across the maze
  • the player must collect all available diamonds
  • hostile entities patrol the maze continuously

Gameplay continues until the player collides with a hostile entity or the session ends.

Scoring System​

The scoring system is based on successful collection and survival.

  • points are awarded for each collected diamond
  • additional score may be gained through special interactions
  • final scores are evaluated server-side

Only validated scores are eligible for leaderboard placement or reward mechanisms.

Enemies and Hazards​

The primary hazards in Diamond Rush are maze-patrolling enemies.

  • enemies move dynamically through the maze
  • collision with an enemy immediately ends the run
  • enemy behavior is independent of player score or wallet balance

Avoidance and route planning are essential for sustained progression.

PowerGem Mechanic​

A special PowerGem may appear within the maze.

PowerGem Conditions​

  • PowerGems spawn intermittently among standard diamonds
  • only one PowerGem effect can be active at a time

PowerGem Effects​

When collected:

  • enemies become temporarily vulnerable
  • the player can eliminate active enemies during the effect window
  • normal enemy behavior resumes automatically after the effect expires

The PowerGem effect duration is limited and cannot be extended or stacked.

Controls​

Diamond Rush supports both desktop and touch-based input methods.

Desktop (Browser)​

  • Arrow keys for movement

  • Virtual joystick for directional control

Control schemes are automatically adapted based on the device.

Session Rules​

Diamond Rush operates within standard PlayArena session constraints.

  • sessions are time-limited
  • scoring and events are validated server-side
  • client-side manipulation does not influence final results

If participation requirements are not met, the game may run in Trial Mode with limited duration.

Integration with PlayArena Systems​

Diamond Rush is fully integrated into the PlayArena infrastructure.

  • Play Credits may be required for participation
  • scores may contribute to challenges or burning scores
  • KRANG balances do not affect gameplay mechanics

All integrations follow platform-wide rules as documented in the PlayArena section.
