Gilbert: Escape from Drill

Gilbert: Escape from Drill is an action-platform game released in 1988 for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST/STE, Commodore 64, MSX, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

Gilbert has 24 hours to travel from the planet of Drill to Earth and sign a new television contract. To delay him, the Drillians remove important parts from the Millienium Dustbin and scatter them across the planet. Gilbert must find clues by beating the Drillians’ favorite arcade game while exploring environments on foot and underwater.

Gilbert can walk, jump, float, and swim, and uses a limited supply of snot to attack hostile creatures. Defeating enough enemies on a screen may reveal the Hoverjelly, which can drop food. His snot supply can be replenished by visiting a Milk Bar in the city.
