It's tough because you can eat all possible pigs and not get hit and still starve. I think maybe pigs should contain more nutrition, but die on impact and start to rot, reducing nutrition. This way you're rewarded more for catching the pig than picking one up. A live pig should die when hit by a bomb, giving you at least some nutrition. I did have fun playing, and like the art style.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"snick","author_uid":"1011205","time":"2017-12-04T14:29:37Z","epoch":1512397777,"modified":1512397777,"text":"@scriptorum I really like the idea of pigs giving different amount of nutritions like that, could be very interesting change to the game in general. 44 seconds that's bad ass! \n\nI assume it's frowned upon to update the games during the \"play+rate games timer\" so I might have to wait a while to do changes and fixes. But for anyone trying this game out, tell me all flaws (except for the obvious like no animations, music etc) so I can learn and maybe put up an updated version on this page after this has fully ended with the tips and suggestions from you all.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DjeyCreations","author_uid":"1056496","time":"2017-12-25T22:02:02Z","epoch":1514239322,"modified":1514239322,"text":"Haha it is fun ^^.
