About this game

Pebbles opens directly into a cavern of earth, rocks and gems. The top panel shows the time remaining and a gem counter against the level target, alongside the available lives and bombs. Dig a route through the field without letting the surrounding hazards close off your next move.

Use the arrow keys to move and Space to place a bomb. The on-screen control strip also assigns P to pause, S to sound, plus and minus to speed, D to die, and Escape to exit. D is a deliberate sacrifice, so avoid it while simply looking for a pause key.

Start with a short route to nearby gems and check the ground around rocks before passing underneath them. The level's target stays visible in the gem counter; the timer keeps running while you plan unless you pause. Adjust the speed if needed before attempting a narrow or crowded route. These controls follow the help printed in the packaged game itself.

Quick tips

Keep the timer and gem target in view.

Use P to pause; D sacrifices a life.

Check the rocks above a route before digging underneath.
