This looks like a fun game but I couldn't get the bacon to move, what controls are you supposed to use?

lol, this was a very original take on the theme. At first I didn't really know what I was meant to do, but after a while it was just funny watching random pigs flying around the room at various angles and watching the line of bacon multiply behind me... until it all got eaten. Good job!

Light of a feathermmmm Bacon :)
Think I got a bit confused with this one though. I managed to lure pigs to the machine... but that was it. They'd disapear, the counter on clones waiting etc would change,.. but I never got to any more bacon.
Creative direction with the theme. Nice work :)

Dead End JobI think porky pig is not going to like this game much! It is kind of like air hockey with pigs. Took me a while to figure out how to actually get the clones. Interesting game. Good Job.

Fate of a Dying StarThis is awesome (and kind of dark lol), I like how the bacons all follow each other

Escape DeathSuper creative game idea you have here! I really like what you did! I adore the janky visuals :D The camera sensitivity might be a tad high but that might also be my personal preference. I would have liked an indicator other than the text to see whether bacon was being produced/waiting. Having to stand on the spot for the clones to appear one by one was not so nice as I had no indicator how long I had to wait there. If there was a wheel that filled up one could better judge the tradeoff of letting the human come closer and getting more clones. I was a little sad that there was no sound... and then the munching starts and I was kind of terrified it somehow made that sound so much more impact :D I also really liked your main menu!

Growth CirclesUm, wow! That’s a game idea. Easy 5 stars for the theme, I didn’t see this coming.
You have a very solid gameplay loop, that said I don’t think there’s any chance the capsule bacon enjoyer will ever be fast enough for your average player’s bacon production rates. Once the jam ends, adding a second or third enemy might up the pressure, and having some kind of decoy ability to throw off the baconlover or get rid of them temporarily could spice up the game loop.
Edit: I spoke far too soon. I underestimated the capsule, he is a very hungry boi. I think I managed to find a bug where he stopped eating, which can happen in some cases where you are spawning another piece of bacon in a large line and the bacons’ (baconae? baconi?) location overlap.
Aside from that, I noticed that the camera stutters quite a bit. If memory serves correctly you can fix this by having any camera related movement take place in LateUpdate() instead of Update().
I appreciate the way your bacon clones have a snake-like formation, though giving them a bit of animation would be a nice touch. I wish the game had a little more audio, some kind of basic ambience or music; the lack thereof makes the sound effects very jarring.
Congrats on the submission!

E.C.C.: ENHANCED COMBAT CADAVERSGood job on the submission! Such a weird funny concept, I like it!
I was a little unclear on whether there was a way to win? The camera movement was a bit disorienting and I found it hard to get piggies to follow.
Overall a charming idea with lots of promise - keep making games!

Graveyard ShiftInteresting story and take on the theme but I wasn't sure what to do!
