Our take on Diamond Dan
The store presentation emphasizes a worldwide archaeological adventure and four themed locations. The stated play loop is narrower: descend randomly generated temple levels, gather gems and gold, avoid traps, and reach the bottom for a map.
What is Diamond Dan?
Diamond Dan is a casual platform game about descending through ancient temple towers while collecting gems and gold.
Levels are randomly generated and contain pitfalls and other traps to avoid. Reaching the bottom reveals treasure maps that continue Dan’s journey across the world. Players can choose between Diamond Dan and Diamond Ann, each with a different bonus move. The game includes four location themes: Inca, Gothic, Persian, and a secret setting. Its story follows Dan as he investigates clues left in temples and pursues a major archaeological discovery.
