Story
The player plays as Jill. She is the daughter of Doug, the leader of a bandit gang known as The Red Dozers. Doug was ambushed by a rival gang known as the Skullkers. They attacked the Red Dozers to steal the powerful Red Diamond, a gift from Jill's dead mother. To retrieve it, Jill mounts the powerful vehicle Drill Dozer to retrieve it. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. On the way, she also comes across four other diamonds: the Yellow Diamond, which was kept in the Art Museum and drove Carrie insane; the Blue Diamond, which was floating about Kuru Ruins and stirring things up; the Green Diamond, which the unnamed police warden used to animate his massive robot, with which he battles Jill; and the Black Diamond, which gave Croog his alien appearance and unimaginable power. At the end, the Black Diamond shatters and Croog's alien face falls off, revealing it to be a mask. Croog's true face is unknown, as a head of long blond hair drops over his eyes and he runs offscreen, sobbing and concealing his appearance with his hands. Later, on, a pair of crazy old thief ladies (who, despite being recurring characters throughout the game, are never named) steal the Blue and Green Diamonds. Afterwards, Jill is appointed the new boss by her father, and they drive away. These events were, apparently, meant to prompt a sequel, but due to the game's unsuccessful sales, it seems unlikely. Spoilers end here.

Gameplay The Red Dozers' Trailer serves as the Drill Dozer's "main menu". Here the player can save his or her progress, examine Jill's Drill Dozer's equipment, check the treasure he or she has accumulated, or visit shopkeeper's shop purchase energy tanks, drill bit upgrades, and maps to access chips. The shop is availible after the first area, Skullker Factory, is beaten.
Drill Dozer is an action platformer in which the player controls Jill and her Drill Dozer. All seventeen massive stages are flooded with enemies, obstacles, and puzzles, that force Jill to use Drill Dozer's drill in a wide variety of ways. The drill is activated by simply pushing one of the shoulder buttons. The R button spins the drill forward and the L button spins it backwards.
Scattered throughout the stage are red boxes marked with yellow wrenches that contain either chips or health. Each stage also contains two red boxes marked with a yellow drill. These boxes contain red gears that allow Jill to shift her Drill Dozer to the second and third gears. The higher the gear, the more powerful the Drill Dozer's drill is and the longer it spins. The red gears are required to reach the end of the stage, but they are often located in plain sight.
At the end of each stage (with the exception of the secret stages), Jill must face off against an enormous boss and use her drill to exploit and damage its weakpoint.
When Jill's Drill Dozer runs out of health, the player receives a game over. He or she can resume the game at the beginning of the room the Drill Dozer was destroyed in by paying the shopkeeper ten chips. However, the ability to save anywhere in the game and resume your saved file at the beginning of the room you last saved in somewhat circumvents this.

Treasures There are thirty-two treasure chests hidden throughout the game. The first treasure chest is located at the end of the Red Dozers' Training Course and rewards Jill 150 chips for completing the course. The other thirty-one chests scattered across the game and there are one to three hidden in each stage.
After defeating Croog, Jill will receive a rank from Doug and Officer Carrie based on the amount of treasures she has collected. Collecting all thirty-one treasures will earn her the rank of "Crime Boss".
