About This Game Deep underground lies a reminder of Boarkind’s darkest hours. All it takes is one little boar to dig it back up. Harkening back to the NES era, Full Bore is an open-world puzzle game that leaves you to your own devices. With curiosity as your only guide, you will figure out how the blocks around you behave, delve deeper into a strange underground, and eventually piece together the story of a world transfigured.Full Bore debuts a unique lighting engine that creates rich, atmospheric environments out of its old-school pixel art. Combined with our original bluesy soundtrack, you will soon find yourself immersed in Full Bore's mines, temples, scrapyards, lava tubes, inexplicable lakes and/or mysterious laboratories.With over 150 areas, no single intended path and secrets everywhere, Full Bore gives you a world in which you can always find something new (until you find everything)New on SteamFull Bore is digging its way to Steam for the first time in May, featuring both Part 1: The First Dig, and the never-before-played Part 2: Into Hard Earth. Of course we're also bringing you some really boaring Trading Cards (see what we did there?), Achievements and more. Can you dig it? Great! More puns!Features Be a pig.* Dig. *You're actually a boar, but that doesn't rhyme with dig. Explore at your own pace as you learn how you can interact with the blocks around you Focus on puzzle-solving and exploration, not conflict. Play as either Frederick the boar or Hildi the sow Original glitch/blues soundtrack gets you in the mood to dig a09c17d780 Title: Full BoreGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Whole Hog GamesPublisher:Nkidu Games Inc.Release Date: 6 May, 2014 Full Bore License As the I believe I heard one of the devs describe it, a puzzle "un-platformer". There is no jump button, instead you solve environmental puzzles through digging, bashing, climbing, pushing, etc. A few sections have some timing elements but you should be well prepared once you encounter them. There is also a smartly implemented rewind system so you can correct any missteps you might have made. Has a large map with varied environments. Shortcuts eventually open up to alieve some backtracking issues. Charming pixel art with only one character sprite I had a difficult time discerning what I was looking at. Interesting game world and a story keeps things moving, with a few twists, but doesn't really get in the way of the gameplay. Particularly good soundtrack as well. Followed this all the way from Greenlight and is one of the best experiences out of that system. Played on a shared account (close to 50 hrs for all but two achievements) for reference.. There are many mysteries in this world. One of them is the lack of attention Full Bore has gotten, since it\u2019s such a great Metroidvania puzzle game.You play as a boar in a mine populated by talking boars. You\u2019re in debt and you need to repay it by finding blue gems hidden all over the map. There\u2019s also lore to find that will tell why the boars closed off an area of the mines, and who left all these computers and junk everywhere.The puzzles are all block pushing puzzles. There are blocks that do different things and you are going to hate the ones that disintegrate after you climb on top of them. Some puzzles are optional, which is a good thing since these puzzles are not of the easy, obvious sort. You will get frustrated and will probably look up a guide to solve them, and then you will slap yourself in the head because now it feels obvious(which is the mark of a good puzzle game). Don\u2019t expect powerups of any sort. There aren\u2019t any. However, you can go faster by digging into the same type of block multiple times. There\u2019s a rewind function where you go back into the past so you can redo your moves. This is extremely helpful.The game has good controls. You can climb, stomp, push things, and there\u2019s a delay when you go over a block since you might not want to change your position just yet. The music for this game is very good too, and I came back to the ost multiple times and looked up Adjective Plural Noun, the band that made it. At some point I\u2019ll buy the ost. The art\u2019s pleasing. It\u2019s pixel art, but it\u2019s got it\u2019s own style and isn\u2019t trying to look like other games.I don\u2019t have any problems with the game, but I\u2019m not a nitpicker. The 40 hours I've spent on this game should be a testament to its worth.. *Wish I could jump*But you can't ! It's a platformer where you can't jump ! And it's a good one, really.Instead of jumping, you have to climb over blocks and use your brains (a lot) to solve puzzles in order to continue.This game is also a lot of exploration, which feels like FEZ (it even has a reference to it), a few secrets to be found, and hidden locations to discover (but, like FEZ, you know if a room has been completed by looking at the map, which helps).+ Free exploration world+ A great variety of crates to climb over+ Many puzzles, with scaling difficulty (some at the end are really hard)+ Map helps a lot and is very precise in its details+ Possibility to go back in time if you made a mistake+ Boar character (and boar puns)- Rewinding time will sometimes work well, erasing your last move, and sometimes make you go back to the beginning of the level because no "checkpoints" have been set since (I don't know how checkpoints are set, though)All in all, it's a great game, worth its price. Holy crap, this was better than I expected. I was anticipating a fairly lightweight, not too long digging puzzle. What I got was twenty hours of awesome. It's very challenging if you try to get all the hidden items (and there are a tonne of hidden items), it has a cool (and pretty creepy) storyline, and the characters are charming and well-written.Buy it even if you don't like pigs that much.. It's been a long time since I played this game now, but realized I should definitely have left a review for this. I am in love with this game. The way it combines puzzles with an open world is unique and they pulled it off really well. The puzzles are both challenging and satisfying, and it has a great set of simple puzzle elements that it explores in interesting ways. And the atmosphere and bizarre story are engaging and distinctive, with just the right amount of creepy. This is a really excellent game all around - seriously underhyped.. Really good if you want a diggy game with actual puzzles instead of procedurally generated stuff. Kinda had my fill after the first act but it left a good impression so I'm sure I'll come back to it at some point.. I'll be straight forward :Pros:- Cool artstyle as seen in video and screenshot - retro pixelart. Cute but nothing amazing.- Lotsa exploration to do, if that's your thing. The world is pretty massive and its not linear. Many roadblocks though.- Many, decent puzzles. Makes up the bulk of the gameplay, so puzzles fans will be happy.- Relaxing ambience and atmosphere. The lighting effects are really good and make a nice mood.Cons:- Lack of direction. I would often get lost or stuck and unsure where\/what to do. A lot of backtracking. Not so fun.- Story is incoherent and did nothing to really engage me. Characters spout a lot of unimportant dialog. Player character (a hog) has no personality (blank slate)- No voice acting. Seeing as there are many NPCs and they have several lines, its a real shame.- Many puzzles are frustrating and block progress. Could not be bothered to finish some the harder ones after many tries.- Too many dead-ends and empty rooms. No powerups. No special collectibles to mention. Lacks rewards in general.- Lacks combat or action. Only a con if you like that to be part of your game, which I do, at least a little bit.I personnaly regret my purchase, but only because I got frustrated by the puzzles and unrewarding exploration, and backtracking. If you love puzzles, especially hard ones, and don't need a relevant story, nor combat\/action, then you'll like it. It's casual.For a similar experience, one which I personnally prefered, see Steamworld Dig.
