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

Submitted

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! 

Submitted

mmmm 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 :)

Submitted

I 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.

...

This is awesome (and kind of dark lol), I like how the bacons all follow each other

Submitted

I love the pig and bacon models! Making bacon is making me hungry now

Submitted

Very creative theme!  Cannibalistic pigs - hilarious!!!

Submitted

Very amusing take on the theme. I don't think I saw any games yet that went the, "death is only the beginning... OF BACON!" route xD or any food for that matter. Creative!

Submitted

That was very funny!

Submitted

Hahaha, I like the concept! It's a hard life being a bacon. I really liked your 3rd person camera here, it was quite smooth and I could move around wherever I wanted to go. One of my pigs went absolutely flying which I thought was hilarious.

Submitted

Pool little pigs I was thinking...until somebody started eating my clones! Hey!

Loved the concept :)

Super 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!

Um, 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!

Funny concept i like it. Wanna check out mine?

Submitted

This is a really interesting take on the theme and I really like what you've done here! It got quite hectic trying to protect my trail of bacon and I had some fun with it! The graphics are nice too, the little pigs are really cute :D 

Good job

Submitted

Good 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!

Developer

thank you I've personally never been happy with the controller, but it just so hard to get its feeling proper, with the little knowledge i have
I updated the menu instructions to help explain that is it more of a collect and survival style.

Submitted

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

Submitted

The idea is super fun. I would improve the camera movement, and make clearer where the cloning machine is. And, add some music!

Nice job!

Submitted

We loved the game good thinking of the bacon, some great stuff! We had hundreds of people spawn to eat us, is that right? 

Developer

no it isnt. There is a rare issue with the spawner. that I have alot of trouble replicating, where either no people spawn at all, or hundreds. I just made some adjustments to the spawner script I hope it fixes it with the patch
