Do you think you have a handle on basic excavation and moving tasks? Think again! Imagine navigating the complexities of a bustling city at night, where cars, bulldozers, and various machinery whiz past you. Your mission is not just to complete the job efficiently but also to dodge utilities and avoid collisions with other vehicles. Will you rise to the challenge, or will the pressure get to you?
In Dig In: An Excavator Game, you’ll face the exhilarating challenge of operating heavy machinery in a dynamic urban environment. As you hone your skills, you’ll build a reputation as a proficient operator, opening the door to exciting bonus challenges. Can you block boulders from rolling past you as they tumble downhill? How quickly can you score points in an engaging game of excavator basketball? Or perhaps you’re up for a larger-than-life mini-golf experience?
This game requires the same hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness that real heavy equipment operators utilize on job sites. Excel in your performance, and you might even receive leads on actual operator job opportunities in your area!
In response to player feedback, a new game mode called Balloon Bash has been introduced, adding an exciting twist to your excavator experience. In this mode, you’ll strive to pop as many balloons as possible using a drum cutter before time runs out. This endless mode is perfect for challenging friends and elevating your excavator skills to new heights. Aim for all the red balloons to score points while steering clear of the dreaded bomb balloons. With power-ups and time bonuses, you’ll be engaged in a race against the clock!
Players can now choose between ISO and SAE control schemes, with both options offering realistic and simplified versions. This flexibility allows you to operate heavy equipment in a way that best suits your style and skill level.
