I've just entered the pyramid and got hold of the Shovel. However, when I tried to use the Down + Action command, the game didn't seem to be recognising the key combination. Eventually, I managed to dig my way out of the pyramid - though this was definitely more luck than judgement - I have no idea what made it work!

Now I'm out and whenever I try to dig, regardless of where I stand or which keys I press first, I can't dig. The character crouches or swings his hook, but no digging.

I'm using the keyboard controls. I do not own a joystick, so I can't try that as an alternative.

Please help?

SOLVED - this seems to have fixed itself somehow. :)

I think I can see what the problem was even though I think you've sorted it - the "Action" key (A) is not the Attack key (Z, I think). :)
