Antipode: Dig Through Earth

Forty years ago, Grandpa Theo dug a shaft under his kitchen floor. Last year he went down it for good, and he never came back up. He left a notebook, a few old tapes, and a radio that still crackles at night.

So Kai climbs into a little yellow drilling pod, points it at the kitchen floor, and starts digging. Straight down. All the way through, to the antipode: the spot on the exact other side of the world.

DIG THROUGH A REAL PLANET
Topsoil, Clay, Bedrock, the Upper and Lower Mantle, the Outer and Inner Core, and the Heart. Past the center, down becomes up, and the far side has places of its own: the Hollow, the Corewell Works, the Drowned Mantle, the Crystal Reach and the Sky Roots. Pick your starting city and the game works out your true antipode.

DIG, HAUL, UPGRADE
Fill your hold with ore, gems and old buried things, fly home up your own tunnel and sell it. Watch your fuel and your hull. Spend what you earn in the Workshop on a better drill, tank, hull, lamp and weapons, and set up camps on the way down.

A BOSS IN EVERY LAYER
Eleven lairs, eleven bosses. The Grubmother broods in the Clay. Magmaw waits in the lava tubes. The Magmaw walks the core. Every boss has its own lair, its own moves and several forms, and every attack is shown before it lands. The fights are long and they are meant to be: learn the pattern, dodge, keep firing.

BURIED WONDERS
Seven buried wonders lie along the way, from Grandpa's own buried house to a cathedral deep in the mantle. Dig one out and it wakes, and its keeper waits for the hardest fight of its layer.

A STORY ABOUT A GRANDPA, A RADIO AND A VERY DEEP HOLE
Eleven chapters in two acts. Mira talks to you on Grandpa's old frequency from the other side of the world. A rival digger named Vex wants to get there first. And the deeper you go, the more you learn about what Grandpa did down here, and why he went back.

ONE PLANET, FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
The Worlds map opens new modes as the story goes on:
- ABYSS: fall forever down a bottomless shaft while the Swallow chases you from above. Steer, smash, brake, and meet the guardians that wait deep down. Everyone falls in the same pod, so the leaderboard is pure skill.
- LAVA ESCAPE: Kai's pod is stuck, so he climbs out on foot while the lava rises. Rescue trapped miners, pick relics at rest stops, and see how high you get.
- ECHO HOP: a rhythm runner. Hop from stone to stone on every beat through 30 songs in five journeys, each ending in a festival, plus an endless run.
- FLIP THE EARTH: turn the whole cave and everything loose comes crashing down. 80 hand-made puzzles in four packs, three stars each.

THE WARDROBE
169 looks to collect: paints, decals, hats, drill tips, exhausts, shots, trails and horns for the pod, and outfits for Kai himself. Earn them in every mode and wear them everywhere. Looks only: nothing you wear changes a stat.

THE MOON SIGNAL
Something on the Moon is calling. Find its 12 fragments in the Abyss, in Lava Escape and in the story. Each one is a page of Grandpa's notebook that Mira decodes on the radio, until you can build the antenna and answer.
