The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with movement centered on the drill’s forward and reverse rotation. Players can burst through walls, push objects, activate switches, and attack enemies by driving the drill into them or using momentum-based actions. Stages mix platforming, light puzzle solving, enemy encounters, and secret routes. Drill parts and chips found during play improve handling, speed, and destructive power, gradually opening new traversal options and hidden areas.

Jill

The protagonist, a spirited girl who pilots the Drill Dozer to recover her stolen treasure.

The Red Dozers

A gang associated with Jill’s family that drives parts of the story and the treasure theft.

Upgrade drill speed and power early, since both traversal and combat become easier with stronger drill performance. Many obstacles require changing drill direction at the right moment, so practice switching between forward and reverse drills smoothly. Search for breakable walls and off-path rooms, as chip upgrades and optional items are often hidden there. In tougher fights, use platforms and terrain edges to create safer angles of attack instead of rushing straight in.

No reliable universal cheat codes are known; progression and upgrades are earned through normal play.
