 The fiendish Skullker gang has attacked your father, the head of the Red Dozer band of thieves, and stolen your precious red diamond. Now it's up to you to hop into your powerful Drill Dozer robot and lead the Red Dozers on a destruction-filled quest to get it back. You can use the devastating Drill Dozer to demolish walls, rooms, furniture, enemies and almost anything else you can think of. All this, from the makers of Pokemon.

You'll experience classic side-scrolling platformer action as you jump across chasms, bore through blocks and latch onto lifts to reach secret treasures. With the right equipment, the Drill Dozer can even fly or operate under water. Players will have to explore every inch of the world in search of hidden gears that'll make the Drill Dozer even more powerful. You can also grab piles of Chips and spend them at the shop to buy devastating new drill tips, energy tanks and more.

Jill is the spunky daughter of the big boss of the Red Dozers, a friendly band of thieves. She may be a little girl, but she's a skilled Drill Dozer robot pilot. Her father is in critical condition after being attacked by the Skullker gang. During the attack, the gang also steals her most prized possession, a red diamond given to her by her deceased mother. While her father recuperates, it's up to Jill to take over as the big boss, demolish the Skullkers with her Drill Dozer and get her red diamond back.

Jill's Drill Dozer robot plays a crucial role in this game. As the story progresses, it even seems to develop a personality of its own. The Drill Dozer is armed with two powerful drills that enable it to bore through walls, doors, evil henchmen and just about anything else Jill needs destroyed. Jill pilots the Drill Dozer, and has to take over as the boss of the Red Dozer gang. She may look cute, but she can cause a lot of destruction.

You play with the L and R buttons, which rotate the drill either direction.Up or Down on the +Control Pad drill up or down. You have to hunt for gears hidden throughout the areas to power up the drill and bore through even tougher materials. If you pick up Chips that fall from defeated enemies and demolished items, you can use them to buy upgrades at the shop. There are six areas to explore in all, each with multiple stages.

Two extra gears are scattered throughout every area – finding them allows players to shift up and spin their drill at blazing speeds. They also can find special equipment that gives them the ability to fly or operate underwater. At the shop, you'll find attachments that let you drill through hardened and metal blocks or extra energy tanks that allow you to take extra punishment. There are also maps for sale that unlock access to bonus levels.
