“Oh my Jungle, game's hardcore. It's Deep rock with satisfactory and all vechiles.”
“Fun game to chill & play Tonka Trucks like you did as a kid. The dirt and digging mechanics is way better than most I've seen and tried. The only thing is, the progression is too easy. You can gain a ton of levels just…”
“It's better with friends, controls are a bit of a learning curve”
