The Bacon Uprising by Tigro

20 years after discovering that bacon strips are, in fact, sentient beings, they decide to stand up against the human tyranny and assemble back into the pig form thus starting The Bacon Uprising.

Help four leaders of the Bacon Resistance Army defeat humans in the exhausting trials separating them from being a pig once again.

=== Controls ===

Shitload of controls so I recommend learning by doing until it's natural rather than trying to memorize. Anyway:

- WSAD + spacebar for the leftmost game
- alternate O and P mashing for the middle-left
- arrows for middle-right
- number keys (either numpad or the one-strip ones) for the rightmost game

== Walkthrough ===

If you want to throw the PC out your window already but wanna see the ending before doing that, I got you covered:

As soon as the game starts, type 68713 as those are the respective solutions to the rightmost game and they never change. This will leave you with three games instead of four.

Then, swiftly mash O and P a few times so that the bar gets fuller and take your plane to the right cause being at the center, it's prone to many more crashes and shots. In the meantime try to nail a few steps in the dancing game cause every missed arrow reduces your HP by 10 (100 total). Don't overdo it, though, since the dancing game is the easiest on your HP among those four, with the plane one being the most deadly.

Shortly, the dancing game should finish and you'll be left with only the two leftmost games. Try to stay off the homing missiles by flying upwards (you're faster going forward than backward and they most likely won't catch you before exploding). Bam, done!

These worlds are totally connected, I don't think my brain is capable though. Maybe I'll get 4 friends camped out on the same keyboard :)

I have barely managed to survive in first two "screens". This is probably the harders game I've played EVER! (but it was quite fun)

The puss* difficulty seems to be broken (opened the credits screen).

I don't know, it seems impossible to play 4 too different and fast games at the same. I'm also not sure how it is connected to the theme.

Thank you very much for all the kind words :)

renatopp - that's the whole joke with that difficulty... :D And as for it being hard, there's a walkthrough in the description :)

Nice job, but didn't last more than about 10 seconds :P

I love the idea. It's pretty challenging and looks like the kind of game I wanted to make for this LD (I didn't succeed tho...)

Great overall job !

Definitely not something I'd have expected. You certainly have a creative mind.

That ending screen gave me a heart attack, oh my god.

REALLY HARD, even with the walkthrough. (And people thought my game was difficult? Pshaw.) But the humor makes it great rather than frustrating. I loved this game to pieces and I hope you win the funniest game award.

I REAAAALLLY love this idea. Sure the execution (making 4 games at once) was a little unpolished, but loved the final product.

That was certainly...an experience. :P I don't know what I would have done without the walkthrough, haha! Funny stuff, and the overwhelming sensory overload was a blast.

The walkthroughs, they do nothing!

This is just jokingly hard. The walkthrough brings it from "What the hell is going on?!" to "How am I supposed to do that?!".

Still the music was nice to listen to, although it repeated like endless.

It wasn't very obvious at first, where the arrows have to be in the dance game in order to be accepted.

I will probably get another laugh out of this when I give it to some friends to "try it out" because it's "sort of a challenge" and then watch them suffer. >:D

Nice idea. It would help if you were in control of less games.. like 2 at once is more than enough for a human. ;) For example the focused sub-games could be automatically switched by the main game.
But I managed to beat it anyway, by getting rid of the easiest ones first and then playing just the remaining 2. :)

Ahah, lots of fun, but this is way too much sand for my truck. But I still won on the pussy mode :p

This falls under the "Keep Ludum Dare Weird" banner. Keep making games like these! (Thanks for the walkthrough, by the way.)

I liked that in spite of how chaotic it was, it still felt like it was beatable :)
