I love the art style, the gameplay looks like it could be fun but I can't get the pig past the first pit. Then the game just sits at the screen. It could be fun with some more time invested. Nice work!

My friend just got to sleep after we finished the gam jam but he will love your game, he is a fan of the old lemmings games and you find a way to innovate and keep with the subject, well played.
For losing a day, you guys got a lot done! The controls took a bit getting use to, but I appreciate the piecemeal introduction to all the tools.
For me, the game just hangs after I die, like the first comment mentioned, which is unfortunate, it looks very well polished, love the art and music! Hope you patch this soon!
Loved the art style, but the game just gets stuck before first pit, like the other comments said, it looks like could be pretty fun. I would really appreciate an patch to play it!
Fantastic work! The concept is very cool, building up the level as you go. The graphics are wonderfully charming, as is the music. Really cool game!
I would be lying if I said the art style wasn't what got me to play your guys' game. It's really good. Like some other people mentioned, I had a hard time figuring out how to get past the first pit.
:( poor guys T.T
The game idea was good. The music and art is good too but I can't properly play the game past the first pit. We need to die to get money but after we die, we cant do anything, we just sit there looking at a dead pig and knowing we earned 100$ that we can't use. It's a shame though. Everything looks real nice, it'd be great if you developed this further in your free time.
Like many others, I seem to be stuck at the first pit. Not sure if it's a bug or if I just have no idea what I'm doing. It's a real shame because I love the style and it seems like a cool concept!
Thank you all for your comments and I'm really sorry for this bug, it's indeed unattended. Our developer goes to bed right after the publication and I'm sure he will fix that issue as soon as he woke up (after 12 coffees ☕). Have a nice day/night everyone 😊
Hi everyone, the developer here!
I found the issue, and a way to temporarily fix it: when you start the game, ** press Escape to skip the tutorial ** 🙂 I'm working on the fix right now, thanks for your feedback!
@no-grapes-games @ayutazyumi @greon @bobrocks @sempiternal
great game, I'm waiting for the android version :iphone: , with more levels I hope :smile:
This is the most enjoyable entry I've tried so far. The art and animation are fantastic
Evidemment encore une excellente entrée ! Fun, beau et jouable, bref c'est tombé dans mon live d'essai Ludum Dare
@juba Thanks a lot! We really want to make new levels, we had sooooo little time during the jam to create levels that it frustrated us 😒 I think the mechanics could be explored more to create interesting patterns 😃
@nandon Thank you! We always try to deliver the best we can do 😊
@siryakko Merci beaucoup, et grâce à ton live on a repéré un nouveau bug 😁
@reality-blind quand je suis resté coincé ^^
Well thought !! Hard game, but really well done ! Juicy AF !! :D
This game was pretty great. I was a bit confused at first, but I really liked it once I got the hang of things. Having to build the level out in front of the pigs was an interesting form of gameplay. I will say that I ran into a couple of no-win scenareos that forced me to restart even though I had a lot of lives left, which was pretty frustrating. Still, I had a really fun time with this game.
@sheerochana Thanks 😃 we were supposed to have bones and blood particles too, but we didn't had time to integrate them 😢
@superpokeunicorn Thank you! Sadly we had not enough time to really test the game, but all that kind of details will be fixed for the future Google Play version 🙂
Franchement bon jeu, j'adore le style graphique la musique est super catchy. le gameplay est vraiment cool, gerer les morts et les upgrades a poser c'est vraiment une bonne idee! Un super jeu , un gros GG a toute la team !
Great entry. It's a bit wonky here and there, but still quite playable and enjoyable. Quite brutal :pig:
Wonderful job! :D
Awesome! I looked ~20 games on this jam, this is the best!
Geez, that was so nice ! You guys did again a fantastic job (great music here) ! Thanks for the fun and see you next time !
I love that gameplay, like a "Super meat boy") Сircular saws and defenseless piglets.. Very nice) Cool sound and anivations. I'm want another more levels like that! Good job!
Le jeu est cool :D
La DA est travaillé et le concept simple et facile à appréhender.
Il manque un bouton/ une action pour enlever un objet que l'on aurais mal placer. (ou je l'ai manqué...)
Bon travail ne tout cap.
Ps : Attention par contre vôtres gameover est en français ^^
Fun, brutal and really good looking. Congrats y'all!
Really fun game for mobiles. Nice graphics and audio :thumbsup: 5 start for almost everything :D
Great entry ! I loved graphics, music and also the idea. really cool in such a short time, well done !
@sholyu - Merci beaucoup, on a eu beaucoup de mal à trouver cette idée, c'est frustrant d'avoir perdu autant de temps pour trouver le concept, mais si ça plaît aux gens alors je suis content qu'on ne se soit pas arrêté sur la première qu'on a eue 😃
@drauthius - Thanks a lot, we wanted to do something different from what we usually do, we have too many games where people say: "Ow, that's cute!", so we took the brutal way 🐷💀
The wonky parts of the game could totally have been fixed if we didn't spend more than 10 hours to find the idea, but that's a part of the game we all play when participating in LD 😁
@jofersgames, @nikolaykuznetsov, @gerardb, @talyn - Thanks! We're glad you liked it 😊
@raisethedead - Thank you, I really enjoyed composing that music, the idea came really fast and I instantly worked on it, that was a real pleasure!
@dinorex - We cannot really hide our love for SMB on this one 😁
We will rework on the game, I think we have enough interesting mechanics to create more levels, and the game will be on the Google Play Store, and the App Store too normally 🙂
@kaiomoi - Merci beaucoup, ça se ressent qu'on est une équipe de graphistes à la base je pense 😃
Tu peux utiliser les bombes pour casser des objets (ceux que tu poses, mais aussi les scies), dans les premières versions la bombe ne volait pas aussi haut et c'était possible, mais en créant les niveaux cette valeur a malheureusement été changée et ce n'est plus aussi facile, nous corrigerons ça pour la version propre de ce jeu 🙂
Et pour le game over en français pas de panique, le jeu se met en français ou en anglais en fonction de la langue du système 🙂 Le tuto par contre est toujours en anglais parce qu'on n'avait plus de temps et qu'on a fait une image pour simplifier les choses 😁
@biebras - Thank you, and in the coming weeks (or months if we have too much work 😁), we will release a cleaner version of the game on the Google Play Store and the App Store (the code is really messy, I want to clean it up haha)
Super fun and addictive! The graphics remind if binding of Isaac which is one of my favorite art styles. Very well done!
Wanted to give a heads up, maybe it's my box but when I tried running the Mac version, I get an error "Cannot find game!".
@jjjjason Thank you for your comment, I will fix that as soon as possible 🙂 EDIT: It's fixed! Thanks again!
Extremely epic. I am keeping it on my phone
This is overall a great entry, especially for this short amount of dev time!
Great art and music, though it was pretty difficult because they walk so quickly. If you place an object in the wrong place, it is also very hard to remove it using the bomb.
Pretty unique experience, obviously the art caught my eye first like a lot of people, but it was a different take on endless runners that I didn't expect. I thought it was a nice twist on the formula by having your past pigs lay out the keys to success with your future pigs. I think the gameplay can drag a little when you're trying to figure out the last section of the level since you have to wait til your pig gets to the end, but that's forgivable. Maybe in the mobile version you can just have more checkpoints or something. I loved it when you had to combine tools, that was the best part of the game. Parts where you had to jump, bomb, then create a bridge all in one. Keep pushing on that mechanic and your game will be even more awesome!
Good game and fun to play! Definitely one of the best I've seen this jam. Would like to play more levels. Keep up the good work
I think this is a great example of very good game design. I think some things could be better explained at the beginning (the initial screen disappeared while I was still trying to make sense of it! Why you wouldn't have input dismiss that screen is beyond me) but I really dig the concept once I had it figured out. The music and sound are top notch too. Overall, a fantastic entry.
It took me a second to figure out the "flow" of how you advance the pigs....BUT...I do like a game (like this) that isn't brain-dead easy to figure out!! I like to do what I did with your game and try...re-try...get it...and love it! :) I especially like that once you have a path of springs, walkways etc...you get to just see the art as the pig runs through! Nice way to premiere the hard work of your music and world!! High rates from us! ;)
It's a pretty cool game, the music really get us into the mood, the art is great and it's a enjoying game
A very innovative mechanic to expend lives for platformer elements. Makes you very careful about placement and what not. Really hit the theme on the head. Not what I was expecting. Very nice.
I'm getting an "Invalid surface dimension" error at game start on Linux.
@bar Thank you for your feedback! Can you tell us what your screen resolution and your configuration is? We have tried it on Ubuntu but we can't reproduce this issue.

I'm running Arch Linux on a 1920 x 1080 screen. Hope this helps!
Awesome entry, with nice graphics and a lot of humor!
There's a lack of ambience sound to feel more like a slaughterhouse, some feedback to the fig footsteps and some sfx to the closest traps to add more presence to them.
Didn't hear any pig sound at all =[
Very nice art style, fun take on the theme.

Really Awsome art style !
Cool art and music. The gameplay involved interesting decision making and sacrifices. Overall pretty good.
This game is straight up fun on mobile great job guy did amazing on every aspect!!!
@grllle Thank you for your feedback! Could you download the last build? Then drag and drop the game to the Applications folder (this seems to be the only fix). Tell us if it work for you, thanks!
Wow, this is the best game I played on this LD so far. Sounds great, looks great and plays great. So inovative. I love it! Good work
FYI: Running on a 5:4 monitor, the viewable area didn't seem to widen to what was shown in the gif even if I tried resizing the window!

Given that the instructional icons are also over on the right side of the UI (covering up what is coming ahead) this made the game quite challenging to play! Such a short time to react...
Nevertheless I made it through all 3 stages, despite getting myself into an almost-unwinnable situation in level 3 when I placed a jump that sent me into a buzzsaw and the trajectory meant that I was only *barely* able to bomb it.
It was a bit annoying having the springboards fall down and become unusable (wasted $50 on that!), but perhaps that wouldn't have happened so often if I had actually been able to see the upcoming stage hazards more properly.
These piggies are really cute~
@arron-fowler, @tapehead, @eliphas, @vladydev, @michael-feldman, @petitpois, @zax, @firepit-games, @a-coltzz, @paulo-brunassi - Thanks a lot! We are working on new levels, including a real ending 😉
@mika-la-grand - It was easier to remove things earlier in the creation process, that value was later changed but that was not intended, we are working on a cleaner version where it’s working properly 🙂
@peachtreeoath - Thanks, on the version we’re actually working on we’re pushing further the item combinations with new levels 😁
@miltage - Wow, thanks for the kind words 😃 We will implement a better tutorial system, where each thing will be clearly explained, the screen we have on this version was made really quickly a few hours before the deadline when we had tons of other stuff to finish, that’s why we have a timer instead of a proper skip ^^
@zoneoutapps - Thanks guys, we’re glad you liked it! Stay tuned, we’re working on a cleaner version with more levels 😃
@bar - Thanks for the feedback, I will dig into this issue and hopefully solve it for the post-LD version!
@ivan-garcia-filho - The sounds were recorded in less than half an hour, I wanted to record more but had no time as I’m also in charge of the music and the development, but I will try to work on the ambience for the new version 🙂
@ddrkirbyisq - Sorry for the inconvenience, I will try to fix that issue on the version we’re actually working on. As for the bombs, they were really easier to use early on the development but the value for their maximum height was unfortunately changed before the deadline, it will be fixed for the incoming update 🙂
I beat it with one pig left! Great art and nice game. Timing took a while to get, but figuring out the gameplay was pretty fun. Nice job!
