This game is actually cool!

Great graphics for a jam game! Funny, good stealthy/greedy gameplay. Congratulations on your entry!

Holy crap this is a better executed version of Furtive Fortune that I made a year or two ago, a stealth game where more money makes you louder. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/furtive-fortune

The digestion feature is fucking genius and I absolutely love the animation. Feels like Toy Story or something. Amazing job here

I like so much th​e aesthetics of the character and enviroment. I love the polished pig's skin.

Really liked how it handled the theme :-)

youbestrong 2019-05-01 04:50

Thanks everyone! We sorta had a mix of Banjo-Kazooie & Toy Story in mind for the look and mood so I'm really happy to hear that!

@jake-white I actually thought about how it would have fit the LD40 theme when we started making it! Since it's the only other Ludum Dare jam I managed to finish haha. Nice work on LD40 btw! I just tried it out and it was fun! Definitely a fun mechanic ;)

Loved the intro :D The catchlines and the humor in this game is hilarious. Loved the piggy sound design on dialog, and the whole atmosphere

Actually the idea of getting more detectable with the coins you get is really interesting : D I would imagine a game like that with a scoring / speedrun incentive

Great job : D

Wow! This game is great... so much fun to play. The hammers coming after the piggy is humorous. The levels are challenging. Graphics/audio/music is well done. By far, the best game I played so far... congratulations!

This was amazing! Really well polished game, I loved the mechanics of the sound detection and how you kept adding things to each level to give it some variation. The hammers popping in made me jump a little in my chair. You guys even added an icon to the exe. I would play more of this! Keep it up.

loved the way you handled the life bar :) great graphics.

ngl i screamed a little when I got chased by the hammer. Fun game. Ending was kinda dark.

afroant 2019-05-02 04:59

The hammer enemy design is ridiculously perfect. I can't imagine a better villain for a piggy bank.

With a better camera system, and a way to use the coins, I could see this as a legit game I'd play. Great job!

Cool game! Really interesting stealth mechanics, and a good way of tying it into the theme.

I think you could have done a better job of conveying the different tradeoffs in traversal? I wasn't sure what holding space did to my detection radius or if there was a way to collect all the coins in a level without getting caught.

phillserrazina 2019-05-03 03:22

This really surpassed my expectations! It's actually really fun! Good job!

appix 2019-05-03 03:58

wonderful graphics!Well done!

Thanks everyone! We're really glad to hear everyone is enjoying our entry! I personally love the fact that some of you we're surprised when you started getting chased by the hammers.

@dennis-jeong There could definitely have been a level that used the space bar power more. Essentially it reduces the radius of the sound you generate (it doesn't eliminate it completely) at the cost of depleting (digesting) your coin amount faster. As for the trade off, that was greed / high score related. We wanted to let the player go through the level easily if they wanted to or a LOT harder if they wanted to get a good score. Thanks again for playing! :)

This was an amazingly polished entry! I loved the balance of coin collection / noise generation to put a spin on the stealth genre. I beat one of the levels thought I got caught by the laser, by making a mad dash to the exit before the 10 or so hammers got me :). Does the high score system work? I saw an interface that listed the top 10 players but it was all blank.

I loved the visuals and the theming of the game. The hammers with ears got me laughing out loud. Very well done! HammedRobbery.png

Well, that was a nice play. Stealth failed a bit when going south as you can't see what's ahead because of the camera position, but other than that everything else was excellent- the art, the humor, the sound and the little cutscenes! Awesome use of the theme too!

jk5000 2019-05-03 08:14

Overall a very fun and cute game. Both the music and graphics is really good. The only small complain is that I sometimes died without I knew why.

h-m-murdock 2019-05-03 18:00

Best game until now! And I didn't even play it. Saw a demo via a friend and I was immediately hooked by the concept. Great job!

keyurrana 2019-05-03 19:40

Very nice and polished game. Loved the hammers. Going backwards was kinda weird because of the camera position. Apart from that, the game is pretty good. Great job!

Awesome! That was fun to play, the sound design (when the hammer catched me I jumped from the sound) is great and I really like the idea. Good job!

One bug: the hammers might go through the outer wall when they are chasing you (happened on 2nd level).

langotriel 2019-05-07 18:05

This game is actually pretty fun. I just had one problem.

I was trying to sneak around, but I was dummy thicc and the clinks of my coins were alerting the guards!

In all seriousness, this was one of the more fun entries so far! Great job! :D

tuomo 2019-05-12 17:35

Your game is a such polished entry that it is really hard find any flaws in it. I absolutely loved that you made those cutscenes at start and end of the game. Really cool touch! Gameplay was easy enough pick up quickly and still gave nice challenge. Graphics are perfect! If need to nitpick something, I found the choice of having the hands flat shaded with everything else smoothed out odd decision. But that’s totally irrelevant and I think that your game really deserves high points in every category. Awesome job!

madbeagle 2019-05-17 16:00

I really struggled with the theme and as soon as I saw this I thought 'OF COURSE!', while cursing myself. Your life definitely is currency when you're a piggy bank.

pequenodev 2019-05-17 16:02

Cool entry and funny concept (Hammers with ears and that messages were hilarious : _D). Level desgings are great and take you some time to complete treating to pick all moneys (specially the lassers one hahah). Nice mechanic and well scaled too. Ive finished game but it seems my name is too large and shown me it cropped out of frame, i'm not sure what rank i achieved D: Maybe you could make the initial messages a bit more fluid, when pork dies you may wait a bit time to skip them. Well jam, mates!

madbeagle 2019-05-17 16:13

....and the game's a belter too. First time I've ever given 5's across the board. Superb work, so annoyed! :)

amour-du-pain 2019-05-17 16:49

Haha I totally loved the lore, well done ! One of the best I've played : original, funny, polished, what more could we ask for ?

pl4typus 2019-05-18 12:40

Loved it, so fun :D

Nice mechanics, AWESOME sound effects :)

Maybe the mixing of sounds and music can be improved, though. Sfx were loud whereas music was not. Both should be more of less same loudness.

Else, the game is great :) A pig would have been the last thing I could think of for a stealth game, great job ^^
