If you did not play in similar games, we advise you for the beginning to 
select a set of levels "Beginer". ( For it: Select SETUP, Select LEVELS 
and press Fire for choice of a set of levels.)
If at you it is impossible to pass a level (does not suffice diamonds or
fast comes to an end time) , you can look demonstration - Rash itself 
will pass all levels! ( For it: Press PLAY GAME, select DEMO and press
fire).
Strategy: for each 500 score to you one life is added, therefore collect
a maximum quantity of diamonds. Also you should faster complete each 
level - for each superfluous second is added 1 score!

On home page http://www.bldrash.boom.ru you can load additional sets of 
levels of different complexity!

Success to you!
