Hard badge is atrocious. Entirely luck dependent. A fully upgraded machine earns you 14 to 35k a week entirely upon luck/rng if the game decides to spawn big diamonds or not. Hardbadge is really badly implemented. 1 star for the huge random factor which destroys most of the fun with the game. Could just as well play the lottery.

Upgrade fuel tanks and hull strength the most, choose depending on your last run. If you lost because you ran out of fuel, choose the former and vice versa. But if you do not have enough money sometimes to buy fuel tanks, buy drill strength instead. Once you reach the area where rocks start coming, you should get some steering wheel upgrades, and as soon as you go to the ruby areas buy a small bunch of radar power upgrades. Buy nitro boosts if your pressure is quite a bit extra when you lost. Do not try to buy anything unnecessary for the time being if you have extra money. Get mech mole as soon as possible as well as its upgrades. In the runs, just try to get as many riches as possible and try to go down. Once you get the 'And Beyond' award, try to get the Connoisseur award by going to the area where the final music just starts and go right (advisable to change controls to inverse when moving right) and get those diamonds. Once you do that, get the preceding award and so on.

This game should be better planned because many things are aleatory like the gold and treasure, if it spawns in your path or not. It is not ensured to get 25 big diamonds with the ship fully upgraded. I got 20-22 in many tries. I think, the designer is not interested we beat the game easily, so it makes him be a bad person to us.

Worked real hard as Gov' Contractor every Sunday for 25 weeks and he blew it all on a boat. He spends rest of his life as a poor fisherman, and single.

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.

151000 at the end, and all I got was a small powered boat D:
Still, a great game, fun to replay and improve your score.

Duck this ducking 25 large diamonds badge, it's too luck based. Get no more than 24 the weeks you can reach them, and you're ducked and have to play the game from the beginning again.

No wonder it's so difficult to find pirate treasure: I had no idea they buried it beneath Earth's crust! How did these guys even find the time to sail the Seven Seas with all that digging to do? (I suspect they were huffing the contraband nitro).

First go for max depth (drill, hull, fuel) and buy one nitro early to gain extra subsidy for R&D from the government. Third mole destroys small rocks, fourth destroys big rocks. Just keep on going, get all the achievements when you've got (nearly) all upgrades and the hard badge should be easy.

ok. so I was going to complain about how 10grand should set you more than a motor boat, but then I looked up. the "best" ending would just get you 4 years of proper matenince of the motor boat

Honestly, the hardest part was guessing how deep you have to be to use nitro to reach 26k without going too deep and stalling before you can use it. Got 178k, all trophies, hard mode badge on first try.

get to 2600 feet at least 20 times but never met more than 24 large diamonds in any single run... the medium badge seems impossible to me. It would be great if there were an update increasing loots on the way.

how I got medium badge: follow some of other people's advises. focus the 3 main upgrades which would be Drill strenght, hull, and fuel tank. I only put like 1-2 upgrades on steering wheel to save money. save the 2500 depth trophy for last day. when you have 9-10 days left you should have the 3 main upgraded, and possibly working on maxing nitro, mole, and radar too. you should have a nitro upgrade though about 1/3 way of upgrading the 3, so you can have extra money and depth for extra cash. I spent one day to get the coins trophy, then one day for both treasure chest and sapphire, refresh if you didnt get it before the animation about fuel out/pressure. then I think i spent like 2-3 days on the ruby/diamond/big diamond trophy. if you refresh enough like me you could get ruby/diamond in one day. then you should have like 2-3 days extra to farm big diamond. aim for 20-31 per day, refresh if it is low. count if you need to.
