When Work's A Bore
Projects By Jennings · Sep 24, 2026
A racer/platformer where drill-bots jump, drill, and zoom their way across tunnels and courses. Build up high speeds by boring through the ground and launch past obstacles, over obstructions, and outpace your rivals. Adventure alone or race against 3 other friends in local splitscreen and online.
About When Work's A Bore
Working on an offshore rig can be challenging, so drill-bots take their leisure time when they can. Combining high speed racing and 2D platforming into some frantic fun. Take control of your drill-bot as they jump , drive , and most importantly drill their way through the underground tunnels and courses that make up their workplace. Drilling through the ground allows you to build up more and more speed. Use that momentum to your advantage as you compete in races and navigate the workplace. But with great speed comes less control, and inevitably there will be crashes, tumbles, falling, and flailing. Features a short but challenging single player campaign, where you follow Drillbot Derek on his first day on the job. Watch out for the hazards of working as a drill-bot on this offshore rig: conveyers, crushers, and crazy co-workers! And all this while Derek desperately tries to meet his quota for the day. Up to 4 players can race against each other, both in local splitscreen mode and in online play, through a variety of courses. Bots can be added to make up the numbers. Boosts, signal jammers, and destructive lasers are all fair game, drillbots can be rebuilt and be back racing again.
