This kind of digging is involved in solving many of the levels. However, exceptions to this rule arise when the player digs from the position of standing on a ladder, or hanging from a hand-to-hand bar, which allows the player to repeatedly dig and descend one row. This introduces an important strategy: when digging a hole X blocks high, the player must first dig a gap at least X wide to be able to dig through it, as the number of spaces will shrink with each layer, and the player needs at least one free adjacent space to be able to dig. Notably, the player can only dig a hole to the sides, and not directly underneath himself.

Floors may also contain trapdoors, through which the player and guards will fall, and bedrock, through which the player cannot dig.

Unlike guards, the player's character may not climb up out of a hole, and will be killed if it fills before he can escape by other means. A trapped guard who cannot escape a hole before it fills is consumed, immediately respawning in a random location at the top of the level. Over time, floors dug into will regenerate, filling in these holes. Should a guard be carrying a bar of gold when he falls into a hole it will be left behind, and can be retrieved by the player. The player can dig holes into floors to temporarily trap guards and may safely walk atop trapped guards. Levels feature a multi-storey, brick platform motif, with ladders and suspended hand-to-hand bars that offer multiple ways to travel throughout. There are 150 levels in the game which progressively challenge players' problem-solving abilities or reaction times. After collecting all the gold, the player must travel to the top of the screen to reach the next level. The player controls a stick figure who must collect all the gold in a level while avoiding guards who try to catch the player. currently holds the intellectual property and trademark rights of Lode Runner.
