Cool musics, really nice color palette. Not sure if this is possible, but the pig should totally be chewing or something mid run cycle, or have its mouth flopping open! The pig seemed to stop animating if I ran up against the wall. Also, http://i.imgur.com/kWqa2S8.gif

1246 pounds!

This is a really nice little package. Graphics are great, sound is very cool, and the gameplay itself is simple but gets challenging. I like how the theme fit into the gameplay: growing = become bigger. Become bigger = harder to move and dodge chefs.

The only thing I could think of improving is putting some decay timer on the food; if after 5 or so seconds, a food item is not picked up, it disappears. Why? Because the chefs gathered in one half of the kitchen, and I kept picking up the food in the other half. When 2 moved to the half I was in, I went into the half they were camping and picked up the massive amount of food that had gathered there.

Really nice, good luck!

lol I squealed with glee when the piggy got bigger

Really nice entry.
I love the movement animations of the pig.

Sidenote: It seems like the longer you run the game, the faster new food appears.

Cute game, and a cool idea to have it so things get harder as you get larger. At first I was sad the pig didn't gradually enlarge, but I liked that you had different sprites for the larger sizes rather than just scaling the pig.

I played to about 1600 pounds to see if I could balloon so large I'd eclipse the kitchen and not be able to avoid the chefs, but I think I was at max size. One fine pig.

I did notice a weird thing with the animations. If I walk into a wall and press both directions so I'm walking along it and trying to go diagonally into it, then the pig's animation frames stop cycling and it kind of slides along. I discovered this while checking out th-- well, never mind.

990 Pounds! I really liked the feel of this. Very jovial despite that it ends in being served up on a platter! Art and Sound are very solid! Very nice!

I just loved the music and the art. You are very talented!! The gameplay was really fun, though in my game the cooks seemed to be stuck near the top... Perfect for me to get fat!!! :) Great job!!

Thanks for developing this!!It's really fun :), maybe I would choose another theme song but it's not but.

It is cute and it is simple, not much else.

Nice little entry, fine pixel art, sweet take on the genre

Why can't I stomp the puny little humans.

It got pretty boring when I stopped growing with no increasing difficulty in sight.

suppi 2015-12-16 20:55

cute! it's hard avoiding the chefs after you grow so big though :)

Loved this game. The graphics are very nice and the gameplay is fun. I got stuck at the end and couldn't move so lost all my health at once but looking past that small issue. Only other criticism is that until I got stuck it was quite easy. Lots of charm though!

Ahh! the pig butt steals the show, but I think my favorite part was the chef animations! The foot flop is A+! Also, I really loved the music! Great job!

anael 2015-12-18 10:02

:) very cool, nice graph, nice music, fun to play, congrats

I love the art. Overall, well done. I had the hope my piggy would fill the entire screen though :)

kepons 2015-12-19 21:08

Haha, what a cute game. It looked and sounded really pleasant. I did, however, find out that standing still until a lot of food spawns is a perfectly possible tactic to get huge very easily.

bastienre4 2015-12-19 21:46

Game is super cute, love the graphics! I had quite some fun playing it even if it's a bit mindless, simple is really efficient in this case :)

foolmoron 2015-12-19 22:41

Adorrrrrrable animations oh my god. Best pig butt in gaming. The music fits great too. I wish it was more difficult though, or you could eat the chefs after a certain point!

scorched 2015-12-20 13:47

Cute, but with THIS size I must just eat those butchers! :D

xenosns 2015-12-21 15:08

So cute! Game play not very sophisticated but loved everything.

gyfis 2015-12-21 16:48

Over 2 thousands lbs, was wondering if the game would stop there. I enjoyed the graphics but an indicator or a win weight (where you could eat the little ant chefs around you) would make this more complete imho. Well done!

voider 2016-01-02 04:03

I loved the graphics and mood in general. Better chefs behaviors and more difficulty might improve the game a lot!

I really love this game, well done! c:

This little piggy had fun!

Cool concept, kewt artwork. Maybe put a little more work in to have something else happen when you get big enough? It got boring and I ate my way to 4000-some pounds lol. Seems like everyone wants to be able to hoove stomp and eat the chefs once you get big enough. Piggy animation and facing direction needs work when you hit the edges too.
