Good graphics and concept, the mechanics are well thought out - the tradeoff of eating a truffle for hp is interesting. I also like how you gain a speed boost for a short bit after doing so. I just think the game is way too easy right now for the mechanics to shine, hunters are easy to avoid and it takes a while for another hunter to enter the area so it was hard for me to stay engaged.
Loved the oinking sound on "Sniff" action)
Agree with the comment above. One thing to add is that I had a hard time managing the controls. Maybe digging could be ENTER? Not sure how to solve this. But great job developing the game so far!
Had fun with this game. managed to find a decent number of truffles before the hunter got me. Would be interesting if the smell gave an hint as to how far away the truffle I think I kept overshooting truffles. Great job!
The hunter looks friendly but when I got closer he started shooting me how mean! Interesting game idea and I think having the protagonist be a pig is a fantastic idea that smart people tend to come up with.
Very solid little game. I wouldn't have minded if it was slightly faster-paced, but the gameplay is working. Good job!
I had a fund time just walking around and enjoying the area. I liked the smelling mechanic but I wish there was some way to make the truffles more visible when I was close
Good game, would be interesting to see how the gameplay changes with a faster pace.
Good concept! I did feel like having to wait on cooldown for sniffing was awkward, might be better to just force the player to stop moving when they use it. Otherwise you've got a solid core gameplay loop there.
Nice game! Good job creating this in a weekend.
This was nice. I really like the sniff mechanic. Potential for a lot of cool additions in this game. Skill upgrades, different rarity truffles. Some higher risk truffles maybe, like if you dig too far away you ruin it, so you need to be really sure where to dig, or risk ruining it. Overall I like it, good job!
Pretty good entry! Might need a lower cooldown on sniffing, as that's what you're doing a lot. Those hunters are mean!
It's not the most beautiful game, but the gameplay is original and fun and the fact that you made it in vanilla Javascript is amazing, very good job! :D
I loved this! The audio was great - that sort of disjointed music track and the snorts grumbles of the pig were great backing sounds. I thought the gameplay loop was straightforward but fun and the controls were tight, if I had one criticism perhaps the cooldown times were a bit too long - maybe spending truffles to upgrade them would have helped, but obviously for a compo game adding anything extra is a big ask! Either way, impressive work - I had fun playing!
I played the game until appearing 9 hunters. I thought the hunters were not a threat once they were bring together. But it was difficult to bring them together well because they would stop walking sometimes. It's good game balance.
A fun, addictive game. Graphics and sound are both very good. The music has a nice vibe to it. The leader board is also a good idea. With a score of 17 I got the #9 place (Skeez). We'll see how long that lasts.
I enjoy the graphics. I made it to here before i fell asleep. I wish i could have run over the hunters. ;-) :D 2023-01-20 21_39_32-Pig Polly - Ludum Dare 52 - pingpoli.de.png
