ABOUT THIS GAME

Racing Through Underground Tunnels in When Work's A Bore

When Work's A Bore invites players to challenge the monotony of offshore rig life as they take control of a drill-bot. This PC game combines high-speed racing with 2D platforming, all set in a chaotic workplace filled with obstacles. Players will navigate underground tunnels while racing against friends or AI, making every second count as they attempt to complete their tasks while having fun.

Navigate Hazards in a Single Player Campaign

The single player campaign centers around Drillbot Derek on his first day, emphasizing the challenges of his new job. Players must dodge various hazards such as conveyers, crushers, and the antics of quirky co-workers. As Derek struggles to meet his daily quota, the game's stakes rise, pushing players to hone their skills while managing the unexpected dangers of the offshore rig.

High-Speed Racing Mechanics Keep You on Your Toes

Drilling through the earth builds momentum, leading to exhilarating high-speed races. Harnessing this speed is essential—while it can propel you ahead, it also reduces control. Players must carefully balance speed and navigation through increasingly complex courses. This dynamic creates an engaging loop of thrill and risk, where failing to maneuver correctly can send you tumbling into disaster.

Compete with Friends: Local and Online Modes

Challenge friends or family in locally split-screen or online multiplayer modes, accommodating up to four players. Engage in thrilling races across a variety of courses, using your skills to outmaneuver opponents. To level the playing field, you can add bots, ensuring a lively competition. The action intensifies as players hit switches to disrupt rivals, executing strategies that can lead to swift triumphs or notorious failures.

Use Opponents’ Paths to Your Advantage

The tactics extend beyond simple racing; players can capitalize on tunnels created by competitors to gain momentum. Steering through or cutting off rivals adds layers to gameplay strategy, enhancing the competitive edge. Whether you’re darting ahead or attempting to recover from a collision, every moment on the track counts. Racing isn't just about speed; it's about making wise decisions that can change the course of the race.

A Fun Platforming Twist on Traditional Racing

In this 2D platformer, players aren't only focused on speed; the game mechanics demand skillful jumps and careful navigation. Drilling becomes both a means of obtaining speed and a vital part of platforming around the challenging terrain. By intertwining racing with platforming elements, When Work's A Bore delivers a fresh take on traditional racing games, keeping players engaged with its playful yet challenging world.

The Joy and Chaos of Working on an Offshore Rig

Ultimately, When Work's A Bore captures the wildness of life on an offshore rig through humor and challenging gameplay. Every race brings about unpredictable situations, reminding players that work can have its fun moments—even among the chaos. As you speed through underground tunnels and contend with off-the-wall hazards, you’ll discover just how enjoyable it can be to turn a mundane job into a thrilling adventure.
