Organization: Whole Hog Games

Full Bore comes out of the gate looking like just another retro-platformer, and within the first few minutes of play I was already cooking up various "fully boring" puns to use in this review. But then I noticed that an hour had flown by, and then another, and I realized I'd been pulled into the mystery of its strange underground world - and that there's a lot more to this game than first meets the eye.You play Full Bore as either Hildi or Frederick, slightly high-strung boars enjoying a dreamy nap on a warm summer's day. But fate has decided that this day will be more interesting than most, and before you know it you're cast into the bowels of a bizarre, subterranean realm, where you're accused of stealing a hoard of gems belonging to what is apparently a great boar mining magnate. Irritated by your impertinence, he sets you to work in his mine, digging up gems to replace the ones he (mistakenly) believes you've stolen.
