Drill underground for gems while managing a limited fuel supply. Stronger rock requires a higher drill level, making upgrades part of the route deeper into the ground.

The play guide

How to play Gem Excavator

Fuel and drill level are separate limits. A route rich in gems is only useful if the drill can break the intervening rock and reach another fuel can before the gauge empties. Read those constraints together instead of following the closest gem downward.

Your goal

Collect gems while maintaining fuel and upgrading the drill for harder rock.

Controls

Touch and drag to move and drill. Tap the upgrade button to improve the drill.

Your first round

  1. Touch and drag to guide the drill into reachable ground.
  2. Watch the fuel gauge and route toward red fuel cans when needed.
  3. Open the upgrade control when a rock requires a higher drill-bit level.

This guide is based on the supplied game instructions.

Tips for your next attempt

  • Check the fuel gauge before moving farther from a visible fuel can.
  • Read a rock's required drill level before spending fuel trying to pass it.

Watch out for

  • More movement cannot overcome a rock's required drill level.
  • A profitable detour can strand the drill without enough fuel to continue.
