 ... Dug, you have to drill downwards through blocks as fast as you can and for as long as you can. To make this more difficult, you must avoid falling blocks, collect air capsules to provide Mr Driller with an air supply and you must not drill through the brown boxes - unless you want to lose 20% of your air supply of course. A very simple yet very addictive formula. The game has 3 modes of play - Arcade, Survival and Time Attack. Arcade mode is split into two sub-categories, which are the 500m and 1000m challenges.

With the needs of today's gamers this game wasn't meant to be a huge success. This game is so simple three buttons do exactly the same thing. Now some may think this a bad thing, but the simplicity and ease makes up for the lack of modern styled levels and graphics. The aim of the game is to steer Mr.Driller down through 100 metres deep stages of coloured blocks, stacked either singly or linked in groups. If blocks of the same colour touch, they form larger groups of blocks. These groups are not ruled by the laws of gravity, so over hangs and ledges are created. Drilling one of these big lumps gains more points than a single block or smaller group. But ...  Read the complete review

this game is very simple, but extremely addictive. the mole people are making their munchies, but they're making too much! the town is overrun, and mr driller is called in to save the day. just drill your way through 1000 feet of multicoloured sherbet blocks (or 500 feet for the kids out there), but keep an eye on your oxygen levels as it drops pretty quickly. it starts easy, but as with the best puzzlers, gets HARD! it usually deteriorates into a frantic race down the screen, dashing all over to grab some air, with much swearing when you get flattened by some blocks that were balanced precariously above you. the sound ...  Read the complete review

I must admit, I wasn't expecting much of this cheap and cheerful little puzzler - the graphics are cute'n'colourful but not exactly up to DC standards, the gameplay is simplistic, and there's no 2 player mode - but my calloused thumbs bear testament to how addictive it is. After the first few games, the challenge to dig deeper sets in... The care and attention lavished on this game is lovely - the tunes are j-pop classics and the characters are soooo cute, but these become insignificant to the call of "one more go"... This is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played - up there with Boulderdash (ooh, showing my age), Super ...  Read the complete review

Before anyone accuses me of plagiarism, this review can also be found at http://includes.reserve.co.uk/reviews/review.php?index=999107736&custid=TRUE where it is also my own work. Thankyou. The town is being overrun by coloured blocks!Everyone is in a panic! Quick, call Mr Driller! The blocks are coming from deep underground - drill as fast as you can! Hmm... That kind of opening sequence would normally be enough to put anybody off playing a game, especially with those oh-so-bright-and-happy animations. But luckily, Mr Driller is one of those game that doesn't need an amazing storyline (or indeed, opening sequence) to work. Using the same ...  Read the complete review
