## In short

Heavy Excavator Simulator is a free digging game. Drag the excavator's bucket into the dirt, swing the load over the truck and pour it in. The ground really changes where you dig. 20 short jobs: load trucks, clear piles, dig trenches, work around rocks and drive the machine to the site. No download.

**How to control it:** Drag the bucket into the dirt to fill it, then hold it over the truck to unload. On driving jobs use the arrow buttons or A and D. Keyboard: arrow keys move the bucket, space drops the load, R restarts, L opens the job list, M mutes.

**Heavy Excavator Simulator** is a free online digging game. You run a yellow excavator on a building site: grab the bucket, push it into the dirt, swing the loaded bucket over the truck and let it pour. The arm bends like a real boom and stick, the ground really gets lower where you dig and the truck really fills up. 20 short jobs take you from a first easy load to deep trenches, buried rocks and sites where you have to drive the machine up to the work.

## How to play

1. Drag the bucket with your finger or the mouse. The arm follows.
2. Push the bucket into the dirt to fill it. A full bucket cannot take more.
3. Lift it, move it over the truck bed and hold it there: the load pours out by itself.
4. Finish the job shown at the top: load the truck, clear the pile, or dig the trench down to the dashed line.

## The jobs

- **Load the truck:** move the amount of dirt shown on the progress bar. A full truck drives off and an empty one pulls in.
- **Clear the pile:** take everything above ground level out of the marked area.
- **Dig the trench:** dig the marked area down to the dashed line.
- **Rocks** (grey) cannot be dug. Work around them; the bucket has to fit beside the rock.
- **Driving jobs:** use the arrow buttons (or A and D) to roll the excavator closer. It will not drive into a pile.

## Controls

**Phone and tablet:** drag the bucket. On driving jobs, hold the arrow buttons at the bottom left.

**Computer:** drag with the mouse, or use the arrow keys to move the bucket, A and D to drive, space to drop the load on the ground, R to restart, L for the job list, M to mute.

## Tips

- Come at the pile from above and bite about half a bucket deep; a full bucket in one bite is the fastest rhythm.
- Lift the bucket clear before you swing to the truck. A full bucket cannot pass through dirt.
- For three stars, start with the dirt nearest the truck: shorter swings save seconds.
- If a load is in the way, press space (or restart) to put it down and start again.
