What is Obby: Drilling Simulator

Ready to tunnel through the earth and strike it rich? Obby: Drilling Simulator puts you in control of a powerful rig, where every dig brings you closer to treasure and tougher obstacles.

How to Play

Maneuver your drill with the arrow keys or on-screen controls to navigate each underground level, avoiding hazards and collecting gems to fill your score meter. Reach the exit point to complete the stage and unlock the next challenge.

Tips for Playing

Plan a route before you start drilling to avoid wasting fuel on unnecessary detours.
Prioritize collecting gems in clusters to maximize your score multipliers.
Watch your fuel gauge and grab any fuel canisters you spot to extend your run.
Upgrade your drill's power first; it makes short work of dense rock layers.
If you get stuck, backtrack to find an alternate path — there's often a secret route.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I control the drill in the game?

You use the arrow keys (or touch controls on mobile) to move the drill left, right, up, and down. Steering is smooth, so you can fine-tune your direction as you dig.

What happens if I run out of fuel?

If your fuel gauge reaches zero, the drill stops and the level ends. You'll need to restart from the beginning, so keep an eye on fuel pickups scattered throughout the stage.

Can I earn upgrades to make drilling easier?

Yes, you spend the gems you collect on upgrades like a stronger engine, better fuel efficiency, and faster rotation. These help you tackle tougher rock and larger stages.

Are there any hazards I should avoid?

Some levels include explosive rocks or crumbling terrain that can damage your drill or cause a restart. Approach these sections with caution and time your moves carefully.

Is there a way to track my progress?

The game records your high score and the levels you've completed, so you can see how far you've drilled and aim to beat your previous best.
