I felt that sometimes the pigs didn't recover their stress even tough I moved them around. It was a fun and hectic experience, well done!

Wow these pigs really are unstable! What a bloodbath :D
Managed to save them all next try.

That was.. unstable at it's best. This perfectly fits the theme :smile:
I love the art, the visual effects and music. The gameplay is not much fun... but who needs it when you can just settle back and relax with these beautiful visuals :)

I was definitely not expecting the carnage that occurred when I failed to keep the pigs happy! That was a humorous surprise. The gameplay was a bit difficult for me to get the hang of. There were times when I thought i was dropping a pig into a pen and it ended up on the ground. After some experimentation I learned where I needed to release in order to hit my target, so it’s not that big of an issue in the end. Great graphics as well, I enjoy your art style.

This was very silly lol. Extra points to you, because I have heard that pigs REALLY ARE very sensitive, and tend to get stressed out. This is exactly the kind of game I come to a jam for. Nicely done!

Simple gameplay, great graphics and trombone! XD PIG LOVER difficulty is too easy. PIG KING is too hard! (Leave more pigs, but do not accelerate stress gain!) I 've felt like I want more gameplay elements, like clicking the pig makes it calm for 3 secs or something))

Fun little game, exploding pigs are quite satisfying.

I wish the stress meter was bigger so it would look like a flag.

Great game. Really well executed. The art style, music and sound effects are all great. Its a little hard to predict how the pigs work precisely. I could not figure out a way to rotate them in the most effective way. The mouse positioning was a little hard for me due to the missing depth perception. You can easily fix this by adding a blob-shadow below the pigs so that you can see where they will land when you drop them. Loved it.

Fun and cute game... At least it's cute until your pigs all explode! ;) The artstyle is fantastic. The music and sounds seem well fitting for the game. One thing I have issue with is that due to the perspective it's sometimes difficult to put the pigs in pens, and instead they fall outside the fence. Other than that, it's a really great compo entry. Oh, and apparently I am now a Great Pig Psychologist. I think I will print myself a diploma. ;)
