Turmoil+ offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America. Get a taste of the rush and rivalry of the time as you earn your way to become a successful oil entrepreneur. As you make money digging up and selling oil, the town will grow along with you. Lease land at the town auction and search for oil. Build a rig, create an efficient pipe network and bring up the oil to store it in silos. Sell the oil at the best times to maximize profits. Then buy essential upgrades in town to cope with rock, gas and ice. Acquire more town shares than your competitors in a bid to become the new mayor. - A campaign where you build your rags-to-riches oil baron career and beat your rivals. - Dozens of upgrades and new tools to improve your oil mining operations. - Maximize your profits by using natural gas to boost the oil price. - Outbid your competitors at the stock auction. - Meet the town’s characters in the saloon and make shady business deals. - Play single game mode to get one of literally millions of procedurally generated levels and earn as much as you can in one year. Turmoil+ - The Heat Is On is a new campaign with tons of oil to dig up and convert into cash! It is designed to make you feel right at home, but at the same time offer lots of new mechanics and fun features. Here's what you can expect! - A new town (and mayor!) and a new oil-rich map divided into three areas. - In each area, new drilling mechanics are introduced, powered by a new underground substance: magma. - You'll see familiar faces like Edward and Fred and William. They brought their goods with them in train wagons, so you can instantly stock up on all your favorite drilling gear. - There are also new people, like Philip, who runs a shady card game in the saloon. - Jack is a new character that runs a magma tools operation from his shed. He likes chicken. - Anthony is also back from last time. Instead of dealing in diamonds, he has his own store where you can sell and buy all sorts of underground treasures. - The new mayor is not quite like the old one. His tips are free, and he uses a different auction system. But shares still cost money! - There's a cat walking around the village! He doesn't do a whole lot, but what can you expect from these creatures? - And last but not least: a couple of brand new music tracks! The metagame in this new DLC-campaign offers more depth. Instead of diamonds, a total of 9 underground treasures are available. Collecting them all (by trading or digging them up) will offer great benefits. Besides this, the village offers even more things to do, like playing a card game for money. ## Key features - Build an oil empire - Manage resources and pipe networks - Compete for town shares and mayoralty - Upgrade drilling operations - Engage in shady business deals - Explore procedurally generated levels ## What do users think of Turmoil+?

Each level is exactly the same length of time, but the mechanics get more complex as you play more. It’s both a very simple game and yet can be complicated in the way you solve the oil drilling puzzle. It’s very satisfying to watch a full team of horses sell a giant drum of oil just before the timer runs out! ### 4/5 — This game is good. *2026-06-12, version 1.0.7* I really like this game but it is very luck based so it is like you need some skill but that won't save you if you broke a mirror. ### 1/5 — Please fix the daily challenges *2026-06-03, version 1.0.7* Half the time they are broken can you please fix them ### 3/5 — Needs fixing *2026-06-02, version 1.0.7* Problem 1: when turning the # of horses to either side the control is very slippery (ironic bc it’s an oil game). I have to carefully turn it bc if I don’t it’ll turn too fast. If I tap the screen when I’m done turning the # it goes back to 0. If I don’t tap it’ll take a few seconds before it disappears. Problem 2: why are my red horses collecting oil from the blue side of the map when I have a storage full of oil on the red side? It just doesn’t make sense why the horses bypass storage. I played through the tutorial and campaign. But in single player mode the horses do whatever they want. ### 3/5 — Good though limited play *2026-05-31, version 1.0.7* fun game but it would be nice to play the daily challenge multiple times. the story mode is great, but it takes a long time to get started and then ends really fast. the single game mode is kinda pointless, and no scores seem to be saved. very little repeat playability. i recommend making the daily challenge repeatable, so that a player can face a score challenge (against themselves). ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-05-28, version 1.0.7* Great game I literally played it every night before bed. Beat the game and WANT MORE! Bravo ### 3/5 — Glitches in app *2026-05-22, version 1.0.7* I love the game but about the time I’m in the middle of a game it has started the screen will go blank the sound is still working but i have to close out the app and go back for it to work. Please fix before i get frustrated and delete game. ### 3/5 — Great game, but crashes *2026-04-01, version 1.0.7* I love this game, it’s just I can only play for 5-15 minutes without it going to a black screen of death, please fix it and I will give better review, though if the issue is my iPad, I’ll give 5 stars ### 5/5 — buggy and the tutorial explains absolutely nothing *2026-03-13, version 1.0.7* would be genuinely so fun if it just worked its j very frustrating that the devs incompetence ruined the game fr ### 4/5 — Great game and here’s a dlc idea *2026-03-13, version 1.0.7* The city rush: basically instead of you and 3 other competitors it’s you: the leader of the rezzytin empire and 12 other citystates fighting over oil in Europe, Africa, and the Arabian plate. And instead of leasing one plot of land at a time for one year. You can lease up to 10 plots of land for 10 years. The game starts in 1906 and ends in 1946. This allows the game to be way more chaotic and complex which is something that this game desperately needs. Longer form play and you could possibly add multiplayer with this. Some other mechanics would probably include: trains, B.O.A.T., airships,planes,and much more in-depth drilling but this is just an idea I thought of. Who knows maybe someone will find this and somehow make it work ## Frequently asked questions about Turmoil+ ### What is Turmoil+ about?

We dig it (ha!), and hope you will too! Now we suspect you may want to know what’s in store in Turmoil+ Multiplayer, so here’s a short roundup of what’s what: - Turmoil+ Multiplayer is like playing a campaign with human opponents instead of NPC's, on a new and smaller map, but with the same area and technology progression as in the main game. - Join a random campaign and stack up your skills against players across the globe, or create a custom campaign with up to 3 of your friends to battle out who will become the next oil baron(ess)! - Adjust the conditions of any custom campaign with your friend(s) via custom game options: add AI players and tweak their difficulty level, adjust the turn time for each round, and specify your starting funds! - Move to the Multiplayer town close to the sea, bid on the plots you’d like to own, take turns drilling for oil, join in the blind stock auction and cleverly outbid your opponents, and win the Mayor’s best-looking locomotive! - Watch a recap after every round of digging and bidding to keep track of who is winning, and what strategy everyone used in the previous round, so you can outsmart them next time! Hop on the multiplayer train and challenge your friends to find out who will become the next mayor in town! ### 1.0.7 — 2025-10-01 Fixed an issue with the Daily Challenge. ### 1.0.6 — 2025-09-26 Added a banner to promote the new campaign. ### 1.0.4 — 2025-09-24 We're excited to introduce you to Turmoil - Deeper Underground! An all-new town with new buildings, a new mayor, and balloon trips to special deep-drilling grounds! Besides oil, you can now also find water underground, which comes in handy when you want to drill faster and cheaper! But it's also essential for the production of the highly valuable petrol! - Petrol marks the start of a new era. You can’t just dig it up and sell it right away, you first have to produce it in refineries. It’s a challenging but rewarding undertaking, and we trust there will be no complaints about the revenues it generates! - A brand new expedition: Every few in-game years, regular drilling levels are alternated with special research missions. Here, it's all about trying to drill as deep as possible with limited resources. Can you drill deeper than your opponents? - Two new playable characters to choose from: meet Thorpe and Mabel! Both willing and able! - To get your drilling operation up and running as quickly as possible, meet Yvonne, Sanjay, and Dynamite Dale who will introduce you to their new wares! And of course your old friends Edward, Raynor, Fred, and William will stop by with their train to provide you with all the drilling equipment you need. - Philip is also back, and he's got a new game for you: Dice Dice Dice. If you can outsmart him, you're sure to make a few extra bucks on the side. - Just like previous campaigns, it's all about who has the most town shares in the end. Deeper Underground uses the same bidding system as in the multiplayer campaign, but shares can also be earned in the deep-drilling missions. - And last but not least: we've added an explosive item to the game, dynamite! While hard rock can be nice when it comes out of speakers, it's a big problem when you stumble upon it underground. Normal drills are not strong enough, so make sure to visit Dynamite Dale in the Saloon! ### 1.0.3 — 2024-01-17 Fixed cloud save issues ## More apps by Gamious B.V. - [Lines the Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lines-the-game/id904207373) - [iO - A Physics Platformer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/io-a-physics-platformer/id960831187) - [Words in Progress](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/words-in-progress/id1021231678) All apps by Gamious B.V.: https://appshunter.io/developer/539181337 ## Related topics [turmoil](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/turmoil) · [oil mining](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/oil-mining) · [oil games pumping](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/oil-games-pumping) · [oil and gas iq](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/oil-and-gas-iq) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
