    Una auténtica joya oculta de la consola. Graficos muy coloridos, animaciones fluidas, BSO interesante, efectos de sonido muy buenos, pero sin duda resalta en jugabilidad. Mecánicas muy divertidas, y dificultad desafiante, en especial en las fases bonus una vez te pasas el juego. Must play!

    Cute platform-based arcade adventure that puts you in charge of a driller suit that's not a million miles away from the Big Daddies of Bio Shock. Not in the same league as the Metroid or Castlevania games, but if you're looking for something a little lighter this would fit the bill.

    Thanks to brilliant design, fantastic gameplay and its in-built rumble device, Drill Dozer is one of the best 2D platformers you'll ever play.

    It's possible you'll tire of Drill Dozer's slightly repetitive drill cycle, and there's less room for exploration and investigation than you'll find in something like Super Mario World, but given it's 15 years and about 48 million 2D platform games later, it's nice to find a developer who can still offer a fresh line of questioning - and a nice suit to wear while doing it.

    The gameplay does have a tendency to get slightly repetitive at times, but almost as soon as the experience shows signs of getting to the point of redundancy, a new gameplay mechanic, challenge or boss battle is introduced, thus keeping your interest level from start to finish.
