With a distinguished voxel graphical look, the game creates a humorous atmosphere for players as they develop their oil business. To become an oil tycoon, players will need to build and develop their drilling platform to extract the raw crude.
Naturally there are various real-world challenges and threats the player will have to address such as snow blows, storms, fires, pirates, terrorists, and even deadly diseases. The rig crew will need protect if the crude is to keep flowing.
Many different scenarios are available for those looking for a challenge. For example one challenge will put players in charge of an oil rig in the midst of an environmental crisis.
Besides drilling and pumping oil, players will also need to line up buyers. Long-term contracts offer riches as long as the oil is delivered. Employees comes with their own demands and need to be managed. Plus the development of new technologies can offer profitable opportunities for those that know how to flex their savvy business skills.
