Description
About This Game
FLY IN. DRILL DOWN. CASH UP.
Grab your crew, jump on the charter and get out to the job. Peg the hole, fire her up and send the rods down. Hit ore and you get paid. Hit nothing and the bills still come.
BRING YOUR MATES
Up to four of you on the one crew. Talk to whoever's standing near you, or grab a UHF and talk to the whole crew. Split the work, split the pay, then lose most of it at the pub.
THE GEOLOGIST LICKS ROCKS
Hammo reckons he can taste the ore. He's usually right. Nobody's asked how.
YOUR SHOUT
After the shift it's the pub. Schooners, darts, the pokies, the dogs on the telly, and a shoey if anyone's game.
WATCH THE ROADS
Utes, road trains and roos. Not everyone makes it to the pub. The ambos and the tow truck will sort it out.
THE LOCALS DON'T BACK DOWN
Big red kangaroos are everywhere out here. Some of them want a fight.
SPEND IT LIKE YOU EARNED IT
Start out in a tired flat with a plastic chair. Work your way up to gold hard hats, a gold car and the only green lawn in town.
KEY FEATURES
Online co-op for up to 4 players, with proximity voice chat and UHF radios
Three drill rigs, from a worn out crawler you run by hand to a big yellow truck rig that does the heavy lifting

Peg the hole, change the rods, clear a choked cyclone and bag the samples
A whole outback town to spend it in: the pub, the pokies, darts, betting on the dogs, horses and footy, a jeweller and a car yard
Homes from a tired flat to a mansion
Kangaroos. Lots of them.
