Bore Blasters' brilliantly silly arcade action finally combines the mining power of dwarves and helicopters

A dwarf in a helicopter in Bore Blasters.

You know where you never usually see helicopters? Underground. No idea why that is, but Bore Blasters is here to buck the trend.

Playing as a space dwarf (rock and stone!), your job in this arcadey roguelike shooter is to pioneer a bold new mining technique: shooting gold and gems out of the ground in your attack helicopter. Gather enough shiny stuff and you gain temporary upgrades to speed up the already frantic digging—from increased rate of fire and damage, to spinning axes that orbit you, to drills that periodically drop out of your helicopter to burrow shafts below you. Get to the bottom of the mine, and you're rewarded with a comically large treasure chest, unlocking new items for future delves.
