The Drill Plus game apps for iPhone is your scrawny hero transforms into a drill in times of need, in this case, an invasion of monsters who look like they came from a Frankenberry commercial.
Rather than give you a space ship blasting away at scrolling waves of enemies, all you have to do is drill through them, racking up points and combos, while the driving rock soundtrack plays.
Throttle is automatic, although there is a boost button that both enhances your drill and speeds it up. You'll need boost to get through undrillable objects such as anvils, which are arrayed in an obstacle-course like path.
Run into a red opposing drillbit and you'll be taken to a minigame where you win by repeatedly tapping the screen. Win, and you get an extra life. I'm not sure you can actually lose that showdown, actually, though you will look ridiculous whacking on your screen if you're out in public.
The Drill Plus has, nominally, a story supporting its story mode, and also a endless-wave mode.Accelerometer games sometimes outsmart themselves by getting too technical with the controls. The Drill Plus doesn't. Via iTunes
