Doubles Hard is, when you get down to it, just an unabashed ripoff of the Commodore 64 game, Boulder Dash from, 1984. The chief difference in this Nintendo Switch game is just that it's 3D rendered and you need to use the arrow keys to change the orientation of the 3D cube (instead of the usual 2D action puzzle levels). Gameplay, however, is the same. Collect the gems, eat the dirt, move the boulders... but be careful because the boulders and gems will fall, and boulders will crush you! That's really all there is to this.

About This Game
Doubles Hard is a game inspired by a legendary production Boulder Dash, created by Peter Liepa and released by First Star Software in 1984. Unlike the original Doubles Hard game, diamonds are collected on a three-dimensional board. The player can move up, down, left, right, in and out. There is also 'grab' move. The use of the three-dimensional board has made it possible to design completely new levels that put the game on an even higher complexity level.
The two-dimensional version of Boulder Dash has been implemented in a huge number of ways and enjoyed well-deserved popularity. Adding a third dimension increases the level of difficulty, but also the satisfaction of gameplay.
If you try, there will be chaos on the screen.
But this chaos is under control.
Under Your control!

One of the best, cheap and simple games that you can buy while waiting for Cyberpunk 2077.
