This is great! Going with the simpler idea definitely worked for you! I laughed out loud when a pig got hit by a missile. Totally unexpected.

64 Bit worked for me on Windows.

The only thing with this is the pig should not be killed by bomb. for the rest Good small game

I think increasing the rate of pigs being shot out would have been a good. I noticed that even while I was getting every pig it wasnt enough to sustain my appetite.

I had enjoyed myself though. Seeing one of the pigs hit a missile was surprising. Congratulations on getting done in the reduced ammount of time. I used the full time and only finished with half an hour on the counter.

Really good job on execution of a simple idea and simple game. Like others have said - the pigs couldn't keep up with my appetite. I loved that the pigs get killed by the bombs!!!

Seems like a fun game but a rate at which your hunger grows becomes too fast around 35 seconds mark where if a rocket kills a pig (which you don't seem to have any control of) - you lose

Thanks for all the good feedback, I would have wanted to give more time to balance things better or allow players to adjust some parameters. Good things to keep in mind for next time :smile:

I made it about 44 seconds. It's tough because you can eat all possible pigs and not get hit and still starve. I think maybe pigs should contain more nutrition, but die on impact and start to rot, reducing nutrition. This way you're rewarded more for catching the pig than picking one up. A live pig should die when hit by a bomb, giving you at least some nutrition. I did have fun playing, and like the art style.

@scriptorum I really like the idea of pigs giving different amount of nutritions like that, could be very interesting change to the game in general. 44 seconds that's bad ass!

I assume it's frowned upon to update the games during the "play+rate games timer" so I might have to wait a while to do changes and fixes. But for anyone trying this game out, tell me all flaws (except for the obvious like no animations, music etc) so I can learn and maybe put up an updated version on this page after this has fully ended with the tips and suggestions from you all.

Haha it is fun ^^. The sounds are a bit annoying tho

I survived for 53:32! Nice game well done!

Really easy to understand and just pick up and play! Nothing about the setting made sense, and I liked that. A pig cannon? Yep!

It is a bit unbalanced because you can't possibly survive more than 30~40 seconds, the pigs restore less than you get hungry for.

I liked the joke about dinosaur eating pigs tho :)

I really liked the graphics (particulary the pigs). It could have been more challenging (the pigs are easy to eat butdo not fil you enough). Hope to see you on future LDs :-)

I liked this entry a lot, the main concept of it was entertaining ,but the game did have some flaws. I don't the the pigs should be able to collide with the missile in mid-air (basically forcing you to starve) also a bit more audio sounds would prevent from making it repetitive too quick, but in general I really liked it.

behenate 2017-12-27 17:02

Really fun and engaging game! Graphics are "minimalistic", but they are doing their job. Contorls were really nice and responsive. Pretty good entry!
