Use the down arrow key to launch the Gold Miner's claw.
Tips/Cheats 1. "Do-Over" Claw Retract
You can do this if you use the arrow keys to control your miner (and to have any success ya GOTTA use the keyboard and not the mouse!) If you press down-arrow to release the claw, you can quickly click left or right to immediately retract the claw. This only helps if you do before the claw goes very far, but many times when you're going for that diamond you can tell if you're on the right trajectory after a split second and redeem a bad release.
2. Pause and the Nemesis
If you pause the game when that other guy comes out (i forget his name), well, he just keeps mining. I came back to a empty mine once! Use this to your advantage on that screen where the giant rock is between you and the pile of 5 diamonds - hit pause, let the guy clear the path and the big rock, un-pause, and grab them diamonds for a cool $3000 on the level (or $4500 if ya have the diamond polish!) Save your dynamite for another level.
