- *Fixed bug in which player could get infinite points from "glitching"
Untested as I could not replicate issue, but saw the issue occur in early builds.
Added Level Selection slider to main screen
Allows user to choose starting levelAdded continue instructions to pause menu
Added "Press spacebar to resume" to pause menu in game
Made in 24 hours due to PC problems, was almost going to skip but decided to get something done.
Some people think pigs can't fly, Little Pig Jeffers is out to prove them wrong! Armed with a propeller hat and a lot of gumption, Jeffers sets to the skies. As he's flying he notices something, an army belonging to the Circular Saws has invaded Pig City!?
Jeffers may need to use the Magic Bacon from his body to slow the onslaught, but watch out brave Jeffers! Each eaten rasher of the bacon hurts you! The Magic Bacon rasher patrol has headed to the skies to help Jeffers repel the attack, get them while avoiding the Circular Saw troops!
Controls:
W - Move Up
S - Move Down
Space - Pause / Unpause
R - Eat Bacon (Deals 1 damage, but reduces speed by 1)

Neat little game though. Nice art and music.
The one thing I wish was that it started ramping up more quickly then had a slower acceleration later into it.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Sounds were just perfect, maybe it ramped really too much in a short time.
I had fun and it's clearly over the average compo entry.
Thanks for your work!
@memel06 Thanks for the feedback and the play. I ran into some PC issues on the first day which means my original idea got scrapped, just wanted to get something clean out the door :)
Really innovative the idea of lowering difficulty. I laughed so much when I got sausaged, so funny!
I would change speed of the scrolling, because at the first minutes game is kinda boring!
Anyway, Great job!
Really nice and simple, easy to dive in and play. Like the theme of having to eat yourself to slow down the onslaught.
Only negatives were there are areas that felt unfinished - but yea, 24 hours!!
Thanks and well done :)
Thanks for playing and your feedback! I probably should have tweaked the start to get to the action quicker.
@sode Thanks for playing, what was the glitch that allowed you to get infinite score? I think there may be issues with the floats and player inputs for movement and the player gets out of alignment with the stage, but made some hacky tweaks and couldn't replicate.
I also can't replicate the information screen, did that happen before or after the glitch?
@barrier Thanks for playing and the feedback, really sorry about that! I had instructions that I deleted to unpause (Space to unpause) but replaced it last minute on like 3hrs of sleep and forgot to re-add it back in.
@cnatalo Thanks for playing. That is an awesome idea, I didn't even think about that! Will probably have a tinker to get that implemented.
Maybe you should increase the difficulty on a reasonable curve.
The tears would be amazing, thanks for the tip!
@artyom-volkov Thanks for the feedback "Right On!"
Anyways, very simple game. Music was relaxing, and the game got pretty hectic as you went on. Not much depth, but can be a good little time killer if you're idling or something. Really cute little pig art though! :)
Graphics and animations are very fun too !
And the background music fit perfectly.
I like your style and game ! :D
@honest-dan The pleasure was mine. Thanks for playing and the tip, I think that's a good idea. I'll probably work on it a bit more and release a post-jam incarnation with all the tips and feedback.
@quorusa Thanks for playing, yeah I will need to tweak the difficulty a bit as it has been a common theme in the comments. Thanks for the kind words and feedback!
@hypp Thanks for playing and the feedback!
@abraxas-interactive Haha, I'd be dead within the day if I could eat myself. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to play it at length!
I managed to level 15 without using the r key because I like the difficulty x)
@mashupgames Thanks! Yeah, even though it ramps up the difficulty evenly I can feel the jump. Congrats on level 12!
@gregoire Thanks, congrats on level 15 hardmode! Cheers for playing and the feedback!
My high score!
Lots of fun. Great art. Simple concept with great execution. Was a fun challenge. Audio was good. I liked the eating sounds too. Good job!
My one very small little criticism would be that it would be nice if the obstacles were something like birds, kites, planes etc as the setting is among the clouds. But that doesn't take away from the game's charms :)
:bacon:
@candlesan Thanks for playing and the feedback, congrats on the score!
@beastiebeastie Thanks for playing! Yeah, I would have liked to add some other obstacles / powerups etc. but time was definitely the biggest factor this LD. Appreciate the feedback :)
@quadape Thanks for playing and the compliment, I was pretty self conscious about my voice for sure.
@coatline Thanks for playing, bacon makes everything better!
Art and music were both well done. Nice job!
