I tend to get a bit uneasy when games try to blend multiple genres into a single game; you may come up with some hideous amalgamation of a beloved game type or in some cases, you will have a glorious, shining example of all that is good in the universe. Full Bore is a 2D puzzle/adventure game, blending fun puzzles, simple platforming, and deep adventuring into the singular world of bacon-filled, er, boar filled miners.
In Full Bore you'll be placed in the proverbial shoes of a boar that was in the wrong place at the wrong time and it's up to you unearth the hidden secrets of a deep mine full of boars pressed into service. The question is, can you dig your way out of this uncanny mix-up of genre's and uncover the secrets of the mine?

Upon choosing your boar-tagonist (okay, that is the one and only boar pun) immediately after the title screen you wonder off into the meadow. Feeling the soft sensation of flowers beneath your hooves, you find yourself suddenly falling deep underground, after hidden mines create a gapping hole in the middle of the Zen-like environment."

"Full bore has humor, charm, and a slight bit of social commentary a la George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, and it has its satisfying puzzles and exploration elements. It has 16 bit nostalgia appeal and catchy, memorable music. It also has a tendency of leading you to get lost a little too often when searching for solutions to a puzzle or an exit, and the controls can be atrocious at times."
