Our giant drilling tool is at work. Turn the pedals to start the vehicle with your character. Sell the collected mines and improve your vehicle even more. As your vehicle progresses, you discover higher quality ores and you mine more valuable metals for increasingly expensive development costs. While controlling this giant vehicle with one finger, pay attention to the heating of the vehicle. If it gets too hot, you won't be able to control the vehicle until it has completely cooled down.
