Pick The Gold is a 3D arcade game where you have to mine different minerals that lie far below the ground, with the help of an enormous excavator.
The cone-shaped excavator in Pick the Gold is simple to control. All you have to do is select the part of the ground where you think the most valuable minerals may be found.
The deeper you dig below the ground, the more minerals you'll be able to mine. Thus, your score will increase and you'll be able to invest more money in improving your excavator. Specifically, you'll be able to increase its length and add oil to it so it goes farther each time you release it.
Pick the Gold doesn't seem to give you a very clear objective when you start your first game. However, for some strange reason, its simplicity makes you want to continue starting new excavations in order to find out what score you'll be able to get.
