Summary: Mr. Driller's world has been covered with mysterious colored blocks. Armed with only a mighty drill, you'll have to dig your way down to safety before his air supply runs out! It will take quick thinking and sharp reflexes to get the job done. Can you handle the challenge? Mr Driller is a real-time puzzle game that relies solely on quick-thinking and a bit of planning. Gameplay is a combination of Tetris and Boulder Dash: You have to drill down through multi-colored blocks to reach the bottom while avoiding the consequences of reckless drilling (blocks may fall on you and crush you).
