I seriously doubt that for $100,000+ all I get is a dinky motorboat. If said motorboat was piled full of babes, I'd probably find that more believable.

Might want to tweak how the first few levels go. a) Not very fun or rewarding to play for 10 seconds before running out of fuel b) If you hit a few coins on your first dig, you have and shot at the hard badge. If you don't, it's hopeless. The game is basically a coin toss on how lucky you get with coin pile distributions on the first few runs.

Someone here had a problem getting the "And Beyond" trophy? That's right, your machine breaks down before it hits that mark. USE A NITRO. Your machine won't ever break down mid-nitro, only after it wears off, so if you approach the Danger Point and then Nitro right past it just in time you should be able to snag the trophy. .... I finally got the 30-Point Badge today by unlocking the best ending, and yes, you're gonna want EVERY TROPHY. Also I had my machine Fully Upgraded at 8 weeks remaining. Speed is a factor here-- anyone remember the game Pikmin? Fooling around will cost you big (no pun intended).

For the hard badge. Since the sum of the value of all trophies is 166k, and the tax can cut you 5~6k if you're at more than 300k cash. That means you must get more than 140k cash as well as all trophies if you want to secure the hard badge. Very tough. If it were not for the fact that this game was featured in a quest, this can be one of the least earned badge ever.

Why doesn't he just sell his drill or mole? I mean, I'd gladly pay 300k for a mole that can suspend itself in space and defy all physics and logic.

I feel like when you get 299k the only reason why you didn't win is because you didn't think of grabbing those dollars flying around the safe.

When you get to the point where you level off to hunt for giant diamonds, it's helpful to go left. Your instruments block a bit of your view on the right side of the screen (but on the left side be careful not to click the Kongregate logo - it'll open another tab/window)

Tip list for the hard badge:
1) go almost straight down first 2-4 days (some wiggle room for extra coins)
2)focus on hull strength, fuel tanks and drill strength
3) get one booster early, get mech mole whenever possible
4) Do not get over rank 5 of steering
5) Ignore achievements until very end; you can get most of them in the same day if you're fully upgraded, or all of them on the last day if you're a cheater.
6) you need $134,000+tax+all achievements to get the hard badge. This should come out to a minimum of $136,246.

Morgan Freeman: "He was a simple man. Simple as the morning dew on a freshly cut lawn. But this simple man had a dream. To drill countless riches, within 25 weeks. THIS man.....has another thing coming because the government is an asshole and put me $10 short!!! still 4/5 good game!

In case anyone gets too deep before reaching the medium badge... at about 1800 feet, just turn left or right (as in, do a hard 90% degree, and don't go any lower). Pressure won't increase, and with max fuel and mole it should be doable.

I figured out the gov't subtraction formula.
money subtracted = (money you have>300,000) - amount of money it takes to piss you off
