About the game [1.2] ************************* In this game you take control of an emerging demolition company in a large city. A multitude of missions lead you to various demolition sites in different districts of the city. You take a seat behind the steering wheel of a variety of detailed construction and demolition machines. You bring old buildings to the ground with wrecking balls and excavators. You place explosive charges or tear down walls manually with the jackhammer. You can invest the earned money in new vehicles which in turn unlock new assignments in the city and tutorials in your company's practice area. It combines the original Demolition Company game, the downloadable content from that game (which was a pickaxe, a bulldozer and a plasma energy manipulator), and a new vehicle (the dump truck) and a new set of levels (the airport levels). ************************** 1.3.

Assignments [4.4] ************************** 4.1. Starting career [4.1] ************************** It's time to start a career. Click on the career option from the main menu. There are 6 save slots where you can save your game and there are three difficulty levels. Easy - On Easy you receive more money and experience points. This allows you to advance much faster and you don't have to complete all assignments, Normal - Normal is the best choice for most players new to the game. Hard - If you are up for a challenge, try the Hard difficulty. You have to complete almost all assignments in order to reach the very top. I played the game on normal. (It said it was the best choice for me so who was I to argue?) That means all the below relate to the normal difficulty. As you begin you will see an animation. Your house is in Evergreen Terrance, and is continently situated opposite the demolition company HQ. Walk across to there. On the way you will notice that there is a stats tracker in the top right hand side of the screen. This shows your progress and right now will be saying the following: Capital: $1,000 Experience points: 0 Level: 0 Rank: Rookie XP for next level: 1,000 Completed missions: 0 Aborted missions: 0 Your capital enables you to buy new tools and vehicles. More capital can be earned through completing missions. Your experience points (XP) help you up levels and can be gained from completing missions. Increased levels will mean you gain access to more of the city districts giving you more (and better) things to destroy. The levels unlock new bits of the game. Here are the levels: Level 0 is where you start at. Level 1 (earned after 1,000 XP) unlocks the first city district (Old Town) for you. Level 2 (earned after 2,000 XP) unlocks the Industrial District for you. Also unlocks the ability to purchase the Dump Truck from DestructoMart. Level 3 (earned after 4,000 XP) unlocks the Airport for you. Also unlocks the ability to purchase the pickaxe, Bulldozer and Explosives Level 1 from DestructoMart. Level 4 (earned after 8,000 XP) unlocks the Freight Yard for you. Also unlocks the ability to purchase the Jackhammer 'Hornet', Crawler Excavator AND Explosives Level 2 from DestructoMart. Level 5 (earned after 16,000 XP) unlocks the Financial District for you. Also unlocks the ability to purchase the Explosives Level 3 from DestructoMart. Level 6 (earned after 32,000 XP) unlocks the Port for you. Also unlocks the ability to purchase the Plasma Energy Manipulator from DestructoMart. Level 7 (earned after 64,000 XP) unlocks the ability to freely select vehicles for all missions. For example it allows you to play an assignment which was initially intended for an excavator, with a wrecking ball. At level 7 you will additionally get to use the shovel version of the crawler excavator. Additionally, you will access to the so-called Mod District. In this district you can find missions that created by other players. Also unlocks the ability to purchase the Sonic Blaster from DestructoMart. Level 8 (earned after 128,000 XP). Your rank moves up with your level: Level 0: Rookie Level 1: Amateur Level 2: Upstart Level 3: Entrepreneur Level 4: Adept Level 5: Engineer Level 6: Expert Level 7: Veteran Level 8: Luminary Now you will have walked across to the Demolition Company HQ but you wouldn't have been allowed in there because they need you to take your tutorials first. These are available in the large practice area beside the HQ. We'll go there in a minute but a bit further along is DestructoMart. This is where you will go to buy your equipment and vehicles when you earn money so that you can take on bigger jobs. The next section shows what they have available: ************************ 4.2. DestructoMart [4.2] ************************ Here is the equipment available from DestructoMart. Buy it as it becomes available to you so that more assignments are open to you. 4.2.1. Vehicles [4.2.1] 4.2.2. Hand Tools [4.2.2] *********************** 4.2.1. Vehicles [4.2.1] *********************** Without vehicles you will never get far in Demolition Company. The following machines can be acquired at the DestructoMart: 1. Mini Excavator 2. Skid Steer Leader 3. Wheel Excavator 4. Small Wrecking Ball 5. Large Wrecking Ball 6. Crawler Excavator 7. Wheel Loader 8. Bulldozer 9. Dump Truck Mini Excavator: The mini excavator is part of your starting equipment. Due to the short reach of its arm, this vehicle is mainly suitable for smaller buildings only. Price: ALREADY IN YOUR POSSESSION. Skid Steer Loader: The compressor of this vehicle is attached to an arm that can only be moved vertically. The skid steer loader's compact shape makes it manoeuvrable and stable. Price: $60,000 Wheel Excavator: Compared to the mini excavator, this vehicle comes with a longer arm that allows you to work on larger buildings. The wheel excavator is considerably faster, too. Price: $80,000 Small Wrecking Ball: With the right momentum, a wrecking ball can destroy entire walls with a single blow. This vehicle can be used in several ways. Consult the corresponding tutorial to learn them. Price: $120,000 Large Wrecking Ball: As the name already suggests, this impressive wrecking ball is ideal for bringing down larger structures. Its penetration power is significantly superior to the small version's. Price: $240,000 Crawler Excavator: This is the largest excavator available in the game. When you acquire this vehicle you will also get two additional versions: One version comes with a shovel instead of a compressor, and the other variant has an extended arm which allows you to work on even taller buildings. Price: $260,000 Required Level 4 Wheel Loader: Some assignments require that you move debris to a certain spot. This is a job the wheel loader was made for. You can also use it to dump rubble into the debris crusher. Price: $100,000 Bulldozer The large steel blade of the bulldozer is equally suitable for moving debris and tearing down entire walls. Price: $80,000 Required Level: 3 Dump Truck: With the dump truck you can transport larger amounts of debris at once. The vehicle works well in combination with the wheel loader which you can use to fill the bed. Play the corresponding tutorial to quickly learn how to use the truck. Price: $100,000 Required Level: 2 ************************* 4.2.2. Hand Tools [4.2.2] ************************* Sometimes it is advisable to leave the vehicle and start working on structures directly with your hand tools. 1. Sledgehammer 2. Pickaxe 3. Jackhammer 'Wolf' 4. Jackhammer 'Hornet' 5. Explosives Level 1 6. Explosives Level 2 7. Explosives Level 3 8. Sonic Blaster 9. Plasma Energy Manipulator Sledgehammer: The sledgehammer is part of your starting equipment. Batter pieces of rubble in order to pulverize them. The hammer comes in handy if a vehicle gets stuck in debris and you need to free it. Price: ALREADY IN YOUR POSSESSION Jackhammer 'Wolf': This is the tool of choice when you are working on foot. The jackhammer allows you to knock chucks out of walls until they collapse. Price: $3,000 Explosives: You can attach explosives to walls and, once you have gained a safe distance, activate them with the detonator. With increasing experience you gain access to three different levels of explosives which differ in strength. There are three levels of explosive: Explosives level 1: This is the entry-level version of explosives. Their blast force is comparably weak, but by placing charges at the right spots you can achieve effective detonations nonetheless. Price: $5,000 Required Level: 3 Explosives Level 2: This level is used for more stable structures. The stronger blast force allows you to work more efficiently. The costs for each detonated charge are considerably higher, though. Price: $10,000 Required Level: 4 Explosives Level 3: This is the most powerful version. Be careful not to place too many charges, otherwise the explosion might get too unpredictable. Price: $20,000 Required Level: 5 Sonic Blaster: This appliance might look like a leaf blower, but it does way more than just move around a couple of leaves. The sonic blaster is a highly experimental device only a few chosen experts are allowed to handle. Are you one of them? Price: $1,000,000 Required Level: 7 Plasma Energy Manipulator: This technological marvel simply ignores the laws of physics. This tool allows you to attract and repel debris like a magnet. Price: $1,200,000 Required Level: 6 Now we know what tools and vehicles are available it's time to start the tutorials which will be the first of your assignments. Scrap Metal: ******************** 4.3. Tutorials [4.3] ******************** Inside there are eight tutorials. At the moment though you can only do the first two. The other 6 can only be done once you have bought the relevant tools. These can be bought from the building that isn't too far from the HQ, the DestructoMart. They can also be bought in game when they are offered but it's worth paying them a visit anyway. A description of the vehicles and hand tools in the game is available in chapter 5. Completing the tutorials will give you XP but not money. The two tutorials available to you at the beginning are: Sledgehammer Mini excavator Here are the eight tutorials: 4.3.1. Tutorial 1/8: Sledgehammer [4.3.1] 4.3.2. Tutorial 2/8: Mini Excavator [4.3.2] 4.3.3. Tutorial 3/8: Jackhammer [4.3.3] 4.3.4. Tutorial 4/8: Explosives [4.3.4] 4.3.5.

Tutorial 8/8: Dump Truck [4.3.8] ***************************************** 4.3.1. Tutorial 1/8: Sledgehammer [4.3.1] ***************************************** Familiarize yourself with the sledgehammer with the sledgehammer in this training mission. Since its impact solely depends on your strength, it's rather slow compared to the other tools. However only the sledgehammer allows you to completely pulverize pieces of rubble. XP bonus: 700/700 (Easy: 900, Hard: 500) Time limit: - Money bonus on success: - Time bonus: - Required equipment for this mission: Sledgehammer. Walkthrough: There are 4 parts to this mission. You do these in order. The first part is the brick. There is a brick in front of you. You need to pulverize it by swinging your sledgehammer at it. Once done more on to the next part of the mission: The Wall. Here you need to break the wall. The next part is called the collapse, where there is a structure with pillars and you need to break the pillars. (Don't worry about standing under the structure as it falls because you have a helmet on so suffer no injury.) The fourth part is called Whack a brick. Here there are a number of bricks to pulverize and a number of bricks that are not to be pulverized. You can tell which is which by pressing G on the keyboard. This highlights the bricks you need to destroy as green and the ones that you shouldn't destroy as red. Now each part of the mission successfully completed you will have filled up your green bar (each part being a quarter of the bar). If you had failed you would have filled up the red bar. ******************************************* 4.3.2. Tutorial 2/8: Mini Excavator [4.3.2] ******************************************* The mini excavator is part of your starting equipment. This tutorial shows you how to steer the vehicle, its boom and the attached compressor.

Make it collapse. *************************************** 4.3.4. Tutorial 4/8: Explosives [4.3.4] *************************************** (You are missing this equipment at beginning so need to buy before doing this mission.) Strategically placed explosive charges can bring down entire buildings in a controlled and efficient manner. This tutorial shows you how to use explosives. Pyrotechnic material must be handled with care. Miscalculated detonations could send debris flying in all directions and damage nearby buildings. XP bonus: 1,200/1,200 Time limit: - Money bonus on success: - Time bonus: - Required equipment for this mission: Explosives Level 1. Walkthrough: There are 2 parts to this mission. First part is called The Wall (IV). You have to place two charges on the wall, step back and then detonate to blow the wall up. The second part of the tutorial is called Boom. There is a concrete hut. Put the charges inside, then step outside and detonate. Watch the hut collapse. Now you know how to use explosives. ********************************************** 4.3.5. Tutorial 5/8: Skid Steer Loader [4.3.5] ********************************************** (You are missing this equipment at beginning so need to buy before doing this mission.) The skid steer loader has lift arms that can only be moved vertically. it's a very compact and agile machine. The skid steer loader is often used in areas too narrow for larger vehicles. XP bonus: 2,000/2,000 Time limit: - Money bonus on success: - Time bonus: - Required equipment for this mission: Skid Steer Loader. Walkthrough: There are 2 parts to this mission. First part is called The Wall (V). You have to break the wall with the skid steer loader's boom. The second part is called Practice Hut. Here you have to knock down about half of the concrete hut. You can do this with the boom, or maybe just by driving straight through it, although you may get stuck in which case you need to use your hand tools to free the vehicle. ****************************************** 4.3.6. Tutorial 6/8: Wrecking Ball [4.3.6] ****************************************** (You are missing this equipment at beginning so need to buy before doing this mission.) The momentum of a wrecking ball can bring down walls in an instant. This tutorial shows you how to steer the vehicle and utilize its destructive capabilities.

The best way is to swing the wrecking ball both back and forth and side to side. ***************************************** 4.3.7. Tutorial 7/8: Wheel Loader [4.3.7] ***************************************** (You are missing this equipment at beginning so need to buy before doing this mission.) The wheel loader is mainly used to transport debris. Its spacious bucket can hold rubble of nearly any size. Due to the loader's articulated frame steering the turning behaviour is quite different compared to the other vehicles. Play this training mission to get familiar with the wheel loader. XP bonus: 3,000/3,000 Time limit: - Money bonus on success: - Time bonus: - Required equipment for this mission: Wheel Loader. Walkthrough: First there is a course you have to drive along with six numbered waypoints. Do this and stay between the cones. Then you come to the next part of the tutorial called Debris Crusher. Here you need to demolish the structure in front of you and transport the rubble to the debris crusher. Once enough debris is crushed the tutorial is complete. *************************************** 4.3.8. Tutorial 8/8: Dump Truck [4.3.8] *************************************** (You are missing this equipment at beginning so need to buy before doing this mission.) The dump truck allows you to transport a much larger amount of debris in one go. To get the rubble into the truck's bed you need to utilize the wheel loader. XP bonus: 3,200/3,200 Time limit: - Money bonus on success: - Time bonus: - Required equipment for this mission: Dump Truck, Wheel Loader. Walkthrough: Here you need to knock over the three structures in front of you and transport the debris to the pile of rubble at waypoint 1. Best way to do this is to use the dump truck and reverse in to the three structures so that they fall into your box bed at the back. Then you can carry your load to the pile of rubble. The rest you can do with the wheel loader if need be. Once enough rubble has been transported the tutorial is complete. ********************* 4.4 Assignments [4.4] ********************* After completing the first two tutorials you can now access the Demolition Company HQ. Inside the main office is the city map. The green pins on the map depict districts that you already have access to. Golden pins stand for districts you have recently unlocked. Red pins are districts which you cannot access because you have not reached the required level yet. Select a district on the map to see the available missions there. Each assignment requires certain vehicles and tools. If you do not own these, you can acquire them directly at the mission selection screen (if you have enough money) or you can go to DestructoMart. Click on start to accept a mission. While the game is loading, a series of illustrated directions explain what you need to do in order to complete the assignment. Once the mission has started you can always consult these directions by pressing escape. During an assignment several bars in the bottom right corner inform you about the mission's current status: The topmost bar displays the amount of money you have already earned in this mission. The grey bar shows the time remaining. If you finish a mission within the given time limit, you receive an additional bonus. However, you can still finish a mission successfully even after the time has run out. The green bar tracks your progress in the mission. Once it is full, the mission is considered a success. The red bar stands for collateral damage you caused. If it gets full, the assignment is a failure and ends prematurely. A botched mission only earns you half the experience points. Luckily, you can always replay a failed mission, and when you complete it you also get the other half of the XP. After each mission a stats screen will come up showing you how you fared you the fee and XP you earned in the mission. It'll also show you how many piles of scrap metal you picked up during the assignment. Each pile you collect gets you a sum of money. If you manage to find all the piles in a mission, you receive an additional bonus. The assignments are split into districts which are viewable from the city map. The districts are: 4.4.1. Old Town [4.4.1] 4.4.2. Industrial District [4.4.2] 4.4.3. Airport [4.4.3] 4.4.4. Freight Yard [4.4.4] 4.4.5. Financial District [4.4.5] 4.4.6. Port [4.4.6] 4.4.7. Mod District [4.4.7] *********************** 4.4.1. Old Town [4.4.1] *********************** Your first batch of assignments take you to a construction site in the old town. This is your chance to make a name for yourself and to grab the attention of clients in other areas. (Required Level: 1) There are 5 assignments in this area. These are: 4.4.1.1. Breakthrough [4.4.1.1] 4.4.1.2. Vertigo [4.4.1.2] 4.4.1.3. Police Station [4.4.1.3] 4.4.1.4. Explosive [4.4.1.4] 4.4.1.5. Balconies Away! [4.4.1.5] ******************************* 4.4.1.1. Breakthrough [4.4.1.1] ******************************* Smack in the middle of the construction site there is an old building that has been vacant for years. Construction work already began several months ago, as authorities took their sweet time granting permission to demolish this old house. To prepare the demolition, you have to locate all the walls that have been marked with spray paint and tear them down with your sledgehammer. The green bar in the lower right corner indicates how much more you need to destroy. Be on the lookout for still usable scrap metal and secure it before it gets stolen. XP bonus: 900/900 Time limit: 8 min 0 sec Money bonus on success: $4,000 Time bonus: $2,000 Required equipment for this mission: Sledgehammer. Walkthrough: This is straightforward. Enter the building and knock out the marked walls. You may also want to collect the 16 pieces of scrap metal in the assignment too. These are at: 8 are in the building you need to knock walls down inside. 3 are in the other tall building on the site. 1 is in the small building on the site (used to be a police station). 1 is behind a rubble pile. 1 is near the perimeter where there is a Frizzy Spizz Xtreem advertising hoarding. 1 is on top of a skip. 1 is on the top of a metal crate. You need to jump on the fence support and then jump from there onto the top of the crate. ************************** 4.4.1.2. Vertigo [4.4.1.2] ************************** Your next step is to dismantle the small hut on the building's roof. This is a task for your jackhammer. Be careful working up there and avoid debris from dropping off the roof. The red bar in the bottom right corner glows with each piece of rubble which falls to the ground, and if it fills up entirely, the mission is considered a failure. Should you fall off the roof by accident, do not worry: In Demolition Company you cannot get injured. XP bonus: 1,000/1,000 Time limit: 8 min 0 sec Money bonus on success: $6,000 Time bonus: $3,000 Required equipment for this mission: Jackhammer. Walkthrough: This is straightforward. Enter the building, go to the top, collapse the hut. Make it collapse inwards so that the bits don't start falling over the edge. You may also want to collect the 8 pieces of scrap metal in the assignment too. These are at: 2 are in the building you need to climb (one on the roof of the hut you need to knock down and one on the bed). 1 is on a rubble pile. 1 is on the rubble pile on the corner of the site that has been cordoned off. 1 is near the perimeter where there is a Bread Man Bakery advertising hoarding. 1 is under the half-built building. 1 is behind the police station. 1 is in the corner of the site behind the other tall building you can climb. ********************************* 4.4.1.3. Police Station [4.4.1.3] ********************************* There is a small building on the construction site which supposedly used to be a police station. Evidently, it hasn't been used by anyone for decades, and you are allowed to raze it to the ground. Get behind the steering wheel of your mini excavator and start breaking down the old walls. If your vehicle gets stuck in the debris, you can dislodge obstructing pieces of rubble with your sledgehammer. XP bonus: 1,200/1,200 Time limit: 11 min 0 sec Money bonus on success: $10,000 Time bonus: $5,000 Required equipment for this mission: Jackhammer, Mini Excavator. Walkthrough: This is straightforward too. Enter the mini excavator and knock down the old police station. You may also want to collect the 6 pieces of scrap metal in the assignment too. These are at: 1 is behind the police station. 2 are in the main building (1 on sofa, 1 on roof). 2 are in the other tall building. 1 is on a second-level girder of the half-built building. You need to knock this off using the arm of the mini-excavator. **************************** 4.4.1.4. Explosive [4.4.1.4] **************************** Due to an unexpectedly fierce storm, part of the building's top floor has already collapsed. Thanks to this incident the building's detonation has been given the green light. Place explosive charges in the building and activate the detonator once you have reached a safe distance. Try to conduct the detonation in a controlled manner and prevent debris from flying out of the construction site or colliding with nearby buildings. XP bonus: 1,400/1,400 Time limit: 6 min 0 sec Money bonus on success: $24,000 Time bonus: $6,000 Required equipment for this mission: Jackhammer, Explosives Level 1. Walkthrough: Go into the building, lay all your 3 charges (I did ground floor near the doors and windows). Then detonate. Once done if the building has failed to collapse then go in and lay your 3 charges again. Hopefully it'll collapse now but if not repeat until it does. You may also want to collect the 5 pieces of scrap metal in the assignment too. These are at: 1 is on the ground floor of the building you need to detonate. 1 is under the half-built building. 1 is on the ground floor of the other building you can climb up. 1 is on the pile of rubble beside the debris crusher. 1 is behind the metal huts in the corner of the site. ********************************** 4.4.1.5. Balconies Away! [4.4.1.5] ********************************** It was recently discovered that the balconies of the buildings being constructed in the southwest do not meet safety standards. You need to use the crawler excavator for this task as it is the only vehicle with a boom long enough to reach the topmost balcony. This assignment is a challenge since you should leave the building's facade as intact as possible. XP bonus: 1,600/1,600 Time limit: 10 min 0 sec Money bonus on success: $32,000 Time bonus: $12,000 Required equipment for this mission: Jackhammer, Crawler Excavator. Walkthrough: One way of doing this is with the crawler excavator; the other is from the inside of the building with the jackhammer. The second of these is probably easier for minimising damage for this delicate operation. You may also want to collect the 6 pieces of scrap metal in the assignment too. These are at: 2 are in the building with the balconies. 1 is next to the cement mixer. 1 is next to the noodles advert. 2 are on the second floor of the half built building. To get up there you need to climb the arm of the strategically-placed crawler excavator. ********************************** 4.4.2.
