description
The player controls a drill head that has to collect all available points in the corridors of the level . Meanwhile, monsters of different colors move horizontally on each level. This can be "eaten up" with the drill head; however, if they touch the pipe, the player loses a life. The difficulty lies in choosing the path depending on the current position of the opponent in such a way that one has enough time to penetrate into the deeper layers. There are also 1000 additional points for collecting flashing goblets. However, if the drill head comes into contact with a flashing land mine, the player also loses a life. There is a big point in the game, if this is collected, all land mines disappear and the monsters slow down.
