+1 for pigs

xhunterko 2014-08-25 03:11

A little difficult to understand at first but very neat idea!

supsuper 2014-08-25 03:28

Love your original take on the theme. :) The scrolling gives me migraines though..

mrexcessive 2014-08-25 09:33

Hi. Squashed a load of pigs, it was an accident guv' Played both games as requested. Love your b/w graphics

keymaster 2014-08-25 11:41

Strange but really entertaining game! Although the scrolling was a bit headache-inducing, the floor scrolling looked really cool and the graphics overall were nice. The shooting mechanic was also pretty cool. Lastly, the sounds were hilarious and amazing :D Very nice entry!

It's a fun game and gameplay feels polished.

Also the pigs and "uhmm bacon" sound effect add a lot to the experience.

Good job!

MMM bacon. This is a fun little game, with several things going on. It's nicely fleshed out and polished too.

ceosol 2014-08-25 17:50

Funny and cute. It would have been even better with a little gameboy kind of jingle background music with the mmm bacon :D

The scrolling was a little choppy, but overall a nice entry.

fanttum 2014-08-25 19:30

very cool idea, first time i played it I thought I was meant to shoot the pigs, then I get a game over for losing too many pigs xD haha very good fun little game

weaselzone 2014-08-25 23:12

Loved the dying pig sounds :D Fun little game and quite challenging. Dig the style

alvarop 2014-08-26 01:18

Gave me a B-Movie vibe, which is always a good thing!

huruey 2014-08-26 01:20

No joke, I had a bacon butty while playing this. It was good. Nice work. :)

onlyslightly 2014-08-26 04:39

Feels really polished. Loved the aesthetic and the parallax. Excellent audio and game feel. Great job!

tosic 2014-08-26 11:43

Yeah, my friend pronounces beacon as bacon...
But about the game it is pretty awesome, I like the pacman - style enemies and retro graphics, really nice!

rantt 2014-08-26 13:36

lol, I loved the pig sounds. The black and white graphics were really nice. Fun game, good job.

lorniebear 2014-08-26 14:15

Like it! (MMM BACON!)

satyre 2014-08-26 18:23

Nice Atari style. The gameplay is easy to understand, but challenging. Especially not hitting all pigs, while trying to kill the ghosts.

micahcowan 2014-08-26 21:00

Mmmm. Bacon.

off 2014-08-26 21:34

The look of the game is pretty awesome, and i love the parallax effect maybe it gives headache to somepeople but i love it. The game is hard to manage, and more because i have try the game in an AZERTY keyboard.. you could imagine the mess.

The game is hard but not more than any 8bit oldschool game thats we can found on the web.

One chiptune song and it will be perfect.

honcho 2014-08-27 23:45

Hilarious! I gotta get mah bacon. Love how you have the pigs die in a few instances!

43iscoding 2014-08-28 13:59

Hilarious game :D Mmm, bacon

thingostudios 2014-08-28 17:10

The moment I saw your username I recognized you from COAL NOT DOLE and realized I had to play your game. I was not disappointed.

The parallax scrolling on the soil looks great, and the sound effects are hilarious. I love this game even better than your previous entries (which is saying something!)

frogcheese 2014-08-28 18:51

Short but hilarious. Liked the old school graphics, though it took a minute to get used to the parallax effect the moment you start moving. Nice job on that, btw! Really appreciated the pig mechanics, too - I was very surprised the first time I lowered my ship too far and smooshed one to the ground. And that time I tried to avoid a helicopter and accidentally made some pork chops on its rotor. It really is the little details that make a game sometimes! : )

jukimv1986 2014-08-28 19:55

Bacon for the win! I enjoyed though as some say it was difficult to get at first what was the goal to achieve. Nice graphics and great gameplay!

dohan 2014-08-28 20:57

I've managed to finish the game with minimal pig casualties. The paralax effect to the floor gives the game a really cool look.

McFunkypants 2014-08-29 00:21

love the ground parallax and choplifter-esque goodness. More fun than I expected. Great work!

mintarcade 2014-08-29 19:10

Pigs for the win ;) Remind me of pre ZX-spectrum era, with 4 shades of gray and speaker only sounds. Very nice entry.

snoother 2014-08-29 20:06

Recognised your name from your last entry, Coal Not Dole. This one also makes me giggle, and I'm liking the cool b&w graphic style. Would have liked some music, though -- maybe a sort of 8bit energetic tune?

steve 2014-08-29 21:05

Good fun, reminds me of choplifter, although if I were to ever change jobs, I would be a terrible bacon installer ;(

bentog 2014-08-29 21:53

Fun little game, has a nice flow :)

jupiter_hadley 2014-08-30 00:10

Funny game, cool graphics, but a bit challenging. I included it in part 11 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/1LqxxVg5Vuk

owyoow 2014-08-30 12:37

I liked the art style. Great game

hbocao 2014-08-30 13:09

Aw man... I killed so many pigs. Like... a lot. Very fun and funny! The aesthetics remembers old sci-fi movies. Nice!

reactorscram 2014-08-30 17:38

I got to 1685. It was extra hard because I'm left-handed so I usually play with arrow keys, I had to play cross-handed to get my right hand onto wasd.

Also the pigs are really easy to squish, I didn't realize the tractor beam was automatic, and rescuing 10 pigs is either too difficult if you haven't killed the enemies or too tedious if you have. The enemies use the pigs as meat shields, even though they're on different Z planes. The helicopters are hard to dodge and it used my CPU heavily.

Kind of fun, though. The "bacon" voiceover got annoying the second time I heard it.

colapsydo 2014-08-31 18:49

I had some troubles with hitboxes (a bit large maybe) for my first tries, but when you are used to it it becomes fun to avoid helicopter and projectiles.

You succeed in creating a coherent graphics universe which goes well with the story plot.

Hum Bacon (40/40 pigs 2250pts).

pjimmy 2014-08-31 20:20

5 stars for humor, very cool game

bluesky 2014-09-01 17:35

Good job!

p4nurge 2014-09-03 20:29

I like nostalgia, I like bacon, I like alien abductions (so long as I'm not the abductee). In short, I liked this. A really cute, fun concept, nicely realised. Good stuff!

drcicero 2014-09-04 23:31

Simple and fun.
I did find the info text on my third time, as it was kind o f hidden by having to press left / right.
i guess advancing text with space, and starting after the text would have been better.

jaj 2014-09-07 12:38

Nice game! The parallax effect made me a tiny bit motion sick XD

sbarrio 2014-09-07 14:53

Loved the simple GameBoy-like graphics. The sound effects are also nice :)

Nice little game you got here, congratulations!

P.S- MMMH, BACON

gerjj 2014-09-07 17:24

Nice game - I think I'm traumatised after landing on a pig though!

robbiehunt 2014-09-07 19:13

Really nice one, dude! Love the graphics and the concept, very well considered, it's more challenging than I anticipated and so more rewarding to play than I anticipated! Thumbs up!!

snicklodocus 2014-09-12 02:53

Cool game! I liked the graphics although the camera whiplash made me a little nauseous. It's really cute though. Good job!
