Very fun concept! Good job on the art too.

I really like the idea and the gameplay was really fun.

I think the sounds didn't work, but nice graphics and funny ideia hdsuahsa. Bacannon LOL, nice title =D

I love how polished this is in so little time. I had trouble figuring out exactly what I was supposed to do (how many hits do the pigs need? when do I get more ammo?) but I figured it out well enough before too long! :)

Nice idea, but the controlls felt kinda unresponsive. When I clicked, the bacon fired at a delay.

Really cool game !

Feels very polished. I was surprised by the bacon bouncing off itself and the screen. Also I thought it was a fun twist on this concept that you had to spend some of the items you need to protect in order to get more ammo to protect the rest. Well done.

Very nice, played a while.
The limited ammo makes it infinitely more interesting!

I had a swine time. Crisp graphics, Sizzzlin sounds, an excellent aromatic missile command clone. Ham good job.

Really good look and feel, and the background track was awesome.

Ammo bouncing from itself is a nice idea that would be a fun addition to other games as well. Nice floaty particles in the background.

So cutte

I feel like the health-is-ammo concept could be worth exploring more, but I had so much ammo it didn't really come into play. Maybe there are more varied enemies later on, but I'm afraid it was too easy to sustain my interest beyond a few rounds.

Came for bacon, was not disappointed. Had a small issue where my gun seemed to get stuck in fire mode every so often. Otherwise the game played great! Nice one :)

Good game, but repetetive after wave 2. Sound is charming. With some upgrades (to weapon and pig kamikazes) it will be great.
TheBigShot20 Apr 2015, 07:21
Got a bit repetitive after a while. But good concept overall. Sounds got a bit annoying after a while.

Really fun game! Simple but cool.

Haven't seen pigs this aggressive since Angry Birds. Nice work :) !

Pretty straightforward gameplay, could have used a twist. Presentation is lovely though.
Pierrec20 Apr 2015, 11:58
fun at first, but it gets really repetitive. More types of enemies and why not weapons (who said "bacon bomb"?) would have been nice

A fun game with nice graphics. I like how the bacon trees provide both your ammo and your health.

I can't find anything bad about it. :3

Bacon everywhere!
Your trailer didn't promise too much. This is epic. :P
Story, art and music blend together into an awkwardly awesome mass of... pig meat? It could use some more variety, but bacon is enough to keep me playing for a while anyway.

To all the pigs: Come over to my game, there's plenty of real meat to be roasted there... ;)

Simple cool game with a nice intro. What really shines is the baroque rock music you got going on there.
DKoding20 Apr 2015, 18:16
Trailer made me LOL. Game itself was so-so.

Wish there was some screenshakes and maybe a gameplay for collecting baconammo out of the trees, but good job nonetheless!
Jan Marcano20 Apr 2015, 18:57
This was amazing.

It was really simple game and I had way too much fun with it anyways. Great job :)
colludium20 Apr 2015, 20:14
That's really good fun!! I liked the artwork and enjoyed the slightly surreal experience of shooting down flying pigs to what sounded like harpsichord music. Good work!

This is so ridiculous... I love it. Simple, but fun.
broknecho21 Apr 2015, 06:18
That was fun. Just one more wave syndrome. End boss came at a good pace. Good job!
Jimjam21 Apr 2015, 08:06
This was a lot of fun - simple and pretty addictive! Though I would've liked to see another common enemy type for a little variety. Great stuff.
esayitch21 Apr 2015, 14:03
Very funny game, shooting bacon feels good, and this is supported by the sound effects. Graphics were pretty cool as well. Could have used more variety in regards to bacon behavior and enemy types, but other than that it's good and addictive.

Good luck!

Somewhat classic mechanic. I must admit that's not the gameplay I enjoyed the most so far of games I've tested.
Nice realisation, the game works well and does the job.

Although I can't help but ask myself philosophical questions.
Why are pigs angry ? Because they are not eaten anymore ? Isn't that a bit reductive as to the reason there are pigs on earth ?
Also, why to defeat angry pigs are we supposed to shoot bacon at them ?
Wouldn't that make them even angrier ?
If human soldiers at war would shoot at themselves throwing limbs of fallen comrades, this likely would piss off and traumatise a lot of people, wouldn't it ?

Good job making that game in 48 hours !

Cute little game, great job on the art! The gameplay got a bit monotonous, but I'm sure that could be fixed just by adding a few more enemies. :)

Pretty fun game and nice art. A little more variation would've been nice, but it did get pretty frantic towards the end anyway. Good job!
