## What is HDD Drilling Simulator?

HDD Drilling Simulator puts you in the seat of a horizontal directional drill. Enter the ground at −18%, steer the bore under 12 levels of country, suburban, city and extreme terrain, and surface in the exit pit — without striking the utilities buried in your path.

REAL DRILLING, ARCADE SIMPLE
• Hold 12 to push up, 6 to push down — just like calling the shot over the radio
• A TK-style locator shows depth and signal while your locator hand calls ROLL IT, DRILL IT or PUSH
• Pitch is earned foot by foot: pushing only counts while the string is advancing

GROUND THAT FIGHTS BACK
• Sand, hard clay, cobble and sandstone each drill at their own pace — read the cuttings coming back
• Rocks glance a pushing head and chew through when you drill them; bedrock at 60 feet ends careless bores

12 LEVELS, THREE STARS TO EARN
• Country farms, suburbs, city streets and mountain extremes — shots from 150 to 485 feet
• Earn up to 3 stars per bore, watch the replay of your actual bore, and keep the bore log

Built by a working drill-crew supervisor, with real rig audio recorded on the job. No ads, no in-app purchases — just drilling.
