I really love the paper render. The take on the theme is really well found,and the gameplay is smooth. Gamepad support is a great plus !

Only thing I could notice is that the game sometimes sutter after the tutorial level.

Overall, it's a really great entry, congratulations !

How did you manage to get this visual ? The pig looks 3D and the drop shadows look amazing !

Thanks for all the comments! We used Unity, which gave us pretty good lighting. Joel did the backgrounds in 2D and the big green block in Blender. Jeremy and I used Tilt Brush to create the pig, coin, and other 3D assets.

I love that you pay a price for coin hording. Great visuals as well.

Beautiful game! Great sound design too. The clink of the coins was very satisfying. One suggestion is that I thought the horizontal movement was a little slow, I wanted to go a bit faster through those stunning levels! Overall, very impressive entry for Ludum Dare :thumbsup:

PS. not sure if a bug or intentional, but you can continue to fly the piggy even after getting a game over. In fact you can fly him right to the next level! I kind of like this "bug" though because it means you don't need to restart from the tutorial when you lose

This game was really neat. Notes:

- The graphics are very very nice. It's a very visually appealing game.
- Some sounds have very audible room noise when they play.
- Almost all sound effects were 100% panned to my left speaker?
- The gameplay is pretty original as a concept.

This is cool! The papercraft art style is cute, and the music too. I like this mechanic of changing mobility with your health/ammo.

Visually, the obstacles confused me. There were boxes that the pigsy would collide with despite being in the foreground. I also wish that the shoot button was also mapped to the left face button (X for Microsoft, Y for Nintendo, ☐ for Sony), since that felt more traditional as an action button when paired with jumping.

I also wish that I could restart the same level without having to replay the tutorial.

Fun game though!

This is very well done.

I like how the theme was perfectly used in this game.
It is also very noticeable that you did include sounds and even music.

The art style of the pigsy banksy is also really neat and although the pigsy banksy seems to be a bit too big at times, it is really easy and smooth to play.

Good job!

Love the textures as well...fun side scrolling play! Great job (in a tight 48!!) :)

Really really like the way different aspects of the game all pull from the same mechanics: more coins means more weight but shooting more reduces your number of coins.

The pig is really cute too, and I like the animations when it moves forward and back. Great job!

If I have any criticism it's that the floatiness is a little too hard to control for me to play this for long periods. It feels like even if I got pretty good at it I'd still be ramming into things by accident all the time.

What a cute game! Really love the models and textures. Kind of difficult I cannot pass level 2 but I found I can keep playing even if I'm dead and the subsequent levels are quite easier. amazing considering of the tight 48 hours. Well done!

My thoughts:

* I loved the music. It greatly sets the mood for the art style
* My favorite thing.. is the way the coins collect in the player as you pick them up. I love that visual indication of how well I am doing
* weight mechanic was unique.

Great Interpretation of the theme, tou took the phrase in the opposite direction than everyone else. AS someone mentioned you can keep playing after you die. Also, I got stuck at leve 5 or 6. It can't be completed! You cant pass trough anywhere when you reach the mid part of the level. Great work guys, one of my favorites!!
