Big Dipper is an avalanche game, but now you fall together with the objects.
- On the right side of the screen you can see which collectables you will encounter while falling. Every collectable earns you points.
- Blue Gems: These are the only collectables that are NOT shown on the right side of the screen. There are 10 of these.
- Red Orbs: These orbs will heal you. There are 15 of these.
- Orange Orbs: These orbs will bring you into rage, making you able to destroy rocks without losing health. There are 3 of these.
- Green Orbs: These orbs can cure you from poison. There are 3 of these. They will only be available when you've passed half of the pit, at which point poisonous rocks will also appear.
- Birds: Birds will temporarily slow your fall, making it easier to dodge rocks. There are 5 of these.
Rocks
- The rocks are the only objects you must avoid. The bigger a rock is, the more health you will lose when you hit it. The amount of rocks will steadily increase when falling down. Larger rocks deal more damage than smaller ones.
- Normal Rocks: These rocks will appear all the time. They don't have any side-effects.
- Red Rocks: These rocks will appear when you've passed 2500 meters. They are essentially normal Rocks that deal additional damage.
- Green Rocks: These rocks will appear a few steps before your first Green Orb. These rocks are poisonous, and will drain your health. You'll stay poisoned until you collect a Green Orb.
- White Rock: These appear when you've passed 7500 meters. These blocks do the damage that depends on their size and will temporarily freeze you. While frozen, your left and right movement will be slower, making it harder to dodge rocks.
Medals
- Angry rock basher (25 points) - Destroy 10 boulders in a single rage - This is fairly easy to get, and you'll probably obtain this when you enter your first rage. If you are having trouble, just remember to start Rage at the top of the screen and dive upon lower rocks when necessary.
- Gem collector (25 points) - Collect all 10 gems in a single run - Since they're not shown on the right side, look out for these. Althoguh they are fairly easy to spot, reaching them without taking damage can be a challenge.
- Glutton for recovery (25 points) - Use every antidote orb to recover from poison in a single run - Remember that you MUST be poisoned while collecting the orbs to get this medal. So keep in mind that when you're about to encounter a Green Orb you get poisoned first.
- Nice and healthy (25 points) - Collect all health orbs in a single run - Probably the hardest of the collect-medals to get, since the last collectable is always a Red Orb and there are so many of them. You don't have to be injured while collecting red orbs.
- Rageaholic (25 points) - Collect all rage orbs in a single run - This medal is also fairly simple, though, once again, completing the requirement without taking damage can be challenging.
- Free faller (50 points) - Survive for 3 minutes - Since birds slow you down, grab onto these as much as possible.
- Massive damage (50 points) - Destroy 20 boulders in a single rage - It's the easiest to do this with the last Orange Orb, since at that time there will be a lot more rocks on the screen.
- Badass dipper (100 points) - Reach the bottom of the Giant Pit - Good luck! You'll need it! :)
- Falling toilet (25 points, secret) - ........... - Pass a very random object while falling (probably around the 3rd Blue Gem)
- Falling llama (50 points, secret) - ........... - Pass an even more random object (probably around the 5th Blue Gem)
- Hungry hungry homer (100 points, secret) - ........... - Pass the most random object ever! (probably around the 7th Blue Gem)
Hints, Tips, and Facts
- You are allowed to hit the walls of the pit.
- For some reason, rage cures your poison.
- The controls are very touchy, making it hard to move slowly. Be careful.
- It's practically impossible to reach the bottom without losing any health, since you'll have a wall of rocks in front of you at some points. In these cases, pick the path with the smallest or least rocks.
