A dig for treasure game with a scanner
Treasure hunting games are about the moment the shovel hits something. Sand Fights Back adds a scan step first, so you search smart instead of digging at random. Each find adds to your score, and the target for the first site is 110.
The empty dunes look calm, but the clock is ticking. You have under two minutes to find all six. The finds counter at the top shows 0/6 at the start, so you always know how many are left.
Tips for Saffron Hollow
Scan before you dig. The first screen is an empty sand field, so the scanner is your map. Use it every few steps and only dig when it tells you something is there.
Keep moving between scans. Covering ground matters more than digging deep in one spot. Walk in straight lines across the dunes so you do not scan the same patch twice. Holding the shovel takes a moment, so be sure before you start.
