How it plays
How does Mr. Driller (Japan) play?
Drill downward and sideways through connected blocks, break groups to open a route, collect air capsules, and reach the depth target before the oxygen meter empties. Falling blocks and changing colours turn each route into a real-time planning puzzle.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Mr. Driller (Japan)?
Keep an escape route open, clear blocks before they become a falling hazard, and collect air before the meter becomes critical. Avoid drilling into a pocket that cannot be exited, and use short controlled moves instead of holding a direction through an unknown section.
