Frack The Planet

You! Take this Fractor-Driller and drive around this planet [← →]. Scan for valuable deposits underground with the GeoSonar [space]. They're worth money--the bigger the better! When you've found one, stick that drill into it [↓ ↑] and get pumping [space]! Don't stop pumping even for an instant or you'll have to start again [hold space]--we don't get paid unless every last atom of the gas in a deposit is pumped out! Oh, and try to avoid running over those pesky protestors--those lawsuits are expensive! Well, what are you waiting for? Our competitors will be here in a minute! There's no time to waste! Get fracking!
