Summary
The player controls a driver of an excavation vehicle as he competes in a 48-level tournament of drilling things.[3]
Players may kill rival drivers only by pushing huge stones at them.[3] Most of the other stones are a permanent part of the underground cavern; while others can be used to eliminate the opponents.[3] Money is earned after each level for the purpose of upgrading the player's vehicle.[3] Players can improve their engines, purchase extra lives, shovels that can dig better, and weapons to improve the odds on the playing field.[3] A kill ratio is required to be met in order to reach the next stage.[3] Otherwise, the player remains in the current level.
After finishing all 48 levels, the game proclaims that the "battle is over" and that the player becomes "the new champion.[4]" The final scene in the game is where the player looks over the sunset with his girlfriend along with the closing credits.[4]
