Piggy Butchery by Reality Blind

[raw]
made by Reality Blind for LD 44 (JAM)

Piggy Butchery.gif

A bloody run in a slaughterhouse!

It's no good to be an animal in a society where eating meat has become as common as going to the bathroom. In the middle of this despicable slaughterhouse, play as lil' panicky pigs and run to avoid becoming a slice of bacon 🥓

But this world is cruel and the meat trade is very lucrative. You will need to sacrifice your piggy fellows to earn money and buy stuff to build a passage through the many obstacles that will be in your way!

🐷 Will you survive through the 3 levels?

You can listen to the music on SoundCloud!

I love the art style, the gameplay looks like it could be fun but I can't get the pig past the first pit. Then the game just sits at the screen. It could be fun with some more time invested. Nice work!

My friend just got to sleep after we finished the gam jam but he will love your game, he is a fan of the old lemmings games and you find a way to innovate and keep with the subject, well played.

For losing a day, you guys got a lot done! The controls took a bit getting use to, but I appreciate the piecemeal introduction to all the tools.

For me, the game just hangs after I die, like the first comment mentioned, which is unfortunate, it looks very well polished, love the art and music! Hope you patch this soon!

Loved the art style, but the game just gets stuck before first pit, like the other comments said, it looks like could be pretty fun. I would really appreciate an patch to play it!

Fantastic work! The concept is very cool, building up the level as you go. The graphics are wonderfully charming, as is the music. Really cool game!

I would be lying if I said the art style wasn't what got me to play your guys' game. It's really good. Like some other people mentioned, I had a hard time figuring out how to get past the first pit.

The game idea was good. The music and art is good too but I can't properly play the game past the first pit. We need to die to get money but after we die, we cant do anything, we just sit there looking at a dead pig and knowing we earned 100$ that we can't use. It's a shame though. Everything looks real nice, it'd be great if you developed this further in your free time.

Like many others, I seem to be stuck at the first pit. Not sure if it's a bug or if I just have no idea what I'm doing. It's a real shame because I love the style and it seems like a cool concept!

Thank you all for your comments and I'm really sorry for this bug, it's indeed unattended. Our developer goes to bed right after the publication and I'm sure he will fix that issue as soon as he woke up (after 12 coffees ☕). Have a nice day/night everyone 😊

Hi everyone, the developer here!

I found the issue, and a way to temporarily fix it: when you start the game, ** press Escape to skip the tutorial ** 🙂
I'm working on the fix right now, thanks for your feedback!

@no-grapes-games @ayutazyumi @greon @bobrocks @sempiternal

## EDIT: It's fixed! 😁

Evidemment encore une excellente entrée ! Fun, beau et jouable, bref c'est tombé dans mon live d'essai Ludum Dare

@juba Thanks a lot! We really want to make new levels, we had sooooo little time during the jam to create levels that it frustrated us 😒 I think the mechanics could be explored more to create interesting patterns 😃

@nandon Thank you! We always try to deliver the best we can do 😊

@siryakko Merci beaucoup, et grâce à ton live on a repéré un nouveau bug 😁

This game was pretty great. I was a bit confused at first, but I really liked it once I got the hang of things. Having to build the level out in front of the pigs was an interesting form of gameplay. I will say that I ran into a couple of no-win scenareos that forced me to restart even though I had a lot of lives left, which was pretty frustrating. Still, I had a really fun time with this game.

@sheerochana Thanks 😃 we were supposed to have bones and blood particles too, but we didn't had time to integrate them 😢

@superpokeunicorn Thank you! Sadly we had not enough time to really test the game, but all that kind of details will be fixed for the future Google Play version 🙂

Franchement bon jeu, j'adore le style graphique la musique est super catchy. le gameplay est vraiment cool, gerer les morts et les upgrades a poser c'est vraiment une bonne idee! Un super jeu , un gros GG a toute la team !

Great entry. It's a bit wonky here and there, but still quite playable and enjoyable. Quite brutal :pig:

I love that gameplay, like a "Super meat boy") Сircular saws and defenseless piglets.. Very nice) Cool sound and anivations. I'm want another more levels like that! Good job!

Le jeu est cool :D

La DA est travaillé et le concept simple et facile à appréhender.

Il manque un bouton/ une action pour enlever un objet que l'on aurais mal placer. (ou je l'ai manqué...)

Bon travail ne tout cap.

Ps : Attention par contre vôtres gameover est en français ^^

@sholyu - Merci beaucoup, on a eu beaucoup de mal à trouver cette idée, c'est frustrant d'avoir perdu autant de temps pour trouver le concept, mais si ça plaît aux gens alors je suis content qu'on ne se soit pas arrêté sur la première qu'on a eue 😃

@drauthius - Thanks a lot, we wanted to do something different from what we usually do, we have too many games where people say: "Ow, that's cute!", so we took the brutal way 🐷💀

The wonky parts of the game could totally have been fixed if we didn't spend more than 10 hours to find the idea, but that's a part of the game we all play when participating in LD 😁

@jofersgames, @nikolaykuznetsov, @gerardb, @talyn - Thanks! We're glad you liked it 😊

@raisethedead - Thank you, I really enjoyed composing that music, the idea came really fast and I instantly worked on it, that was a real pleasure!

@dinorex - We cannot really hide our love for SMB on this one 😁

We will rework on the game, I think we have enough interesting mechanics to create more levels, and the game will be on the Google Play Store, and the App Store too normally 🙂

@kaiomoi - Merci beaucoup, ça se ressent qu'on est une équipe de graphistes à la base je pense 😃

Tu peux utiliser les bombes pour casser des objets (ceux que tu poses, mais aussi les scies), dans les premières versions la bombe ne volait pas aussi haut et c'était possible, mais en créant les niveaux cette valeur a malheureusement été changée et ce n'est plus aussi facile, nous corrigerons ça pour la version propre de ce jeu 🙂

Et pour le game over en français pas de panique, le jeu se met en français ou en anglais en fonction de la langue du système 🙂 Le tuto par contre est toujours en anglais parce qu'on n'avait plus de temps et qu'on a fait une image pour simplifier les choses 😁

@biebras - Thank you, and in the coming weeks (or months if we have too much work 😁), we will release a cleaner version of the game on the Google Play Store and the App Store (the code is really messy, I want to clean it up haha)

Super fun and addictive! The graphics remind if binding of Isaac which is one of my favorite art styles. Very well done!

Wanted to give a heads up, maybe it's my box but when I tried running the Mac version, I get an error "Cannot find game!".
