IMPORTANT: If the game crashes, try the version without music. If the game runs slow while placing buildings, press R to increase the performance. This game might take some seconds to load and doesn't display a splash screen. Be patient
In down under, you have to build your own town. You construct huts for your workers, cut down trees and generate food. But suddenly, one scientist discovers a second world, right below the world you used to live in. The new world provides new opportunities, like very efficient power plants and mushroom farms. But down under is very dangerous, so no you can't build any buildings made of wood.
Controls:
arrow keys: scroll map
The rest will be explained in the tutorial, so please don't skip it! After you finish the tutorial, you will be able to go to down under, but not earlier.

bottom-right menu: select building category
