Drill Dozer

So your main ghost problem is going to be old people ghosts. Especially librarian ghosts, with the book stacking?

Big trouble. Run you right out of the library.

So I grabbed this yesterday and oh my god this is great.

I think my DS will have a tumor for a while.

It's damn good! I haven't been able to play for a couple days, I'm on the Watch Tower boss still. I spent a lot of time going back to old levels with new drill bits to see what new areas I could open up.

Grrrr screw you guys because my copy is in PA and I really want to play it now and emulators don't rumble so I gotta get it here now grrrrrrr

grrrrrrr

It's like the game is a tiny power tool!

Didn't we have another thread that was basically a Drill Dozer thread as well? Oh well.

I just started playing this from the start again last night and it's still a fantastic game. Maybe I'm the only one, but does the feel of this game remind anyone else of Treasure's type of design? Well, Treasure when they're doing a good game, anyway?

Drill Dozer, Pulseman, Jelly Boy... beats the crap out of Pikachu any day.

I've heard of Pulseman, never heard of Jelly Boy... I'll have to check those out.

sometimes when i play drill dozer i think of buster busts loose on snes. i don't know why. also i think of pulse man. i think it's the controls? or...how the character feels in response to the controls. i can't explain it.

I thought so at first, but playing through it last year, I wasn't sure what part of the game gave me that impression to begin with. It doesn't have the locomotive fluidity of a Treasure platformer; there's a lot of stop-and-go. Obviously, the difficulty isn't there, either.

I suppose the color palette and sprite animation is Treasurey, though.

I think it's the character designs, the color palette, and the fact that the game is based around a particular and unique gimmick is what reminds me of Treasure's game design so much.

Jelly Boy is super simple but full of joy. And jelly.
