Played a bit of this over the weekend during Eastenders and The X-Factor. I’ve still not managed much above 600m in the 1000m arcade mode.

Not having any trouble with the controls, though – apart from the odd times where my thumb seems to forget where the d-pad is – I’m just being an idiot.

Didn’t play a lot last night, but when I do play, I try the 1000m arcade mode.

My current best is 632m, which is almost respectable. This is still using the virtual pad controls, by the way.

Mr Driller!

On the iPhone!

For a mere 59p!

That should be all you need to know.

If you want more information, well, it’s not packed with modes, but it’s got quite a few. It doesn’t have any characters in it apart from Susumu, at least not unlocked at the start.

The controls are where some people are having trouble, but I find the virtual pad works fine. Sometimes I drill in the wrong direction, but I’d say it probably works better than the 360 controller for me, though there’s not much in it. I’ve done the 500m challenge with only one life lost, to give you an idea.

Anyway, I love Mr Driller, so I love this.

So, I set myself up with new games aplenty and what do I end up playing on the first proper day of my holiday? Old stuff. Mr Driller, for example, though I kept turning it off in disgust at my rubbishness, then back on a few minutes later.

Not a community game! I noticed that my score in quest mode was terrible and that I was bottom of my friends list. So I played for ages and got… one place higher. And I’m meant to be quite good at this game. For some reason I kept dying at about 900m on the 1000m stage.

I also spent some time trying the 3000m stage in normal mode, but didn’t get close.

N+ seems to have made me rubbish at Mr Driller. I was trying to 1,500m stage and kept dying stupid deaths. Didn’t really get anywhere at all. Still, it’s Mr Driller, so it’s not like I didn’t enjoy myself.

Some terrible performances which are probably best forgotten, Suffice to say that I managed to die before reaching 500m on all the attempts.

My high score is now over twice that of any on my friends list. I win, or something.

A few more attempts at the 1500m stage, none of them in the least bit successful.

Ah well.

Several rubbish attempts at the 1500m stage. Mercifully, I was stopped from trying too many times by the Red Light of Battery Doom.
