Rocks-and-diamonds is a genre of computer and video game. These games are often called Boulder Dash clones or Repton clones after the 1984 home computer games that inspired them.

The usual format is a tile-based game involving the collection of items ('diamonds') and avoiding being crushed by 'rocks', both of which fall under the influence of gravity.
