I love a good pico-8 game. I got to 86 seconds.

Very interesting choice to use Pico 8, and great game overall!

Submitted

Great take on the theme, very original! Loved the art, and the game felt good to play. Only thing missing for me was some music.

Developer

Thanks for checking it out. Lack of music is partly time constraint partly I have no idea how to make music in pico 8.

Submitted

Really nice game, with a creative concept that i did not already saw in this year's games. Well done :D

Submitted

I got to four piggies. Which is more than the cannon so I'll say it's a win.

Submitted

very clever game! I love how you twist arkanoid to defense game!
cute artwork as well, it was lovely experience

Submitted

this little piggy went to the market... this little piggy... IS COMING TO GET YOU!! This was a fun game and clever theme. I like the branding and style of your page as well. 

Submitted

Nice polished game, but lacks brick variety. My record is not big, just around 1 minute :)

Developer(+1)

Thaks for playing! I agree, more brick types would be a good addition. For the jam I just wanted to limit it to the traditional materials in the 3 little pigs story.

Submitted

The art was really cute and the concept is very creative! Good job!

Submitted

Nice take on the theme and execution too, specially with the jam's small time window.

 Bonus points for using PICO-8: I never got the hang of using it hahaha

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Pico-8 can be pretty limiting but I find that it helps me keep the scope under control when it comes to a game jam

Submitted

this is the perfect jam game, great job (:

Submitted

I'm a big fan, the game is simple but fits the theme very well, has no jank and looks good. Well done!

Developer

Thanks! There is definitely a littel bit of jank to be found if you play enough times, but lets not draw attention to that!

Submitted

if there was I didn't notice any lol

Submitted

Great frantic game!

Submitted

Super great game! I love the art its all super cute and the sound design while minimal is super great. I've seen other reverse breakout games in the jam but this one is one of my favorites! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words. With more time (and experience) I would have liked td add some music too. Maybe a post jam addition!

Submitted

I never would have thought of a reverse breakout game! Very unique! I got to 3 piggies.

Submitted

It's very fun, I think the most engaging game I played so far in this jam. I reached 4 pigs and it was pretty tough after that lol

btw I like how you both reversed the theme and the gameplay

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you picked up on that as I wasn't sure if I sold the theme enough. I was kinda relying on people already knowing the story of the three little pigs.

Submitted

That was fun! The game's very polished and the piggies are tough opponents. I really like your interpretation of a reverse-breakout! :D 

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 

Submitted

Omg this is so well made!!!! I aspire to be this good

Developer

Thank you so much. I've only been learning for a year, so I apprecite the kind words.

Piggies are so cuuuuute I liked iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Really fun game! this level of polish is insane for a 2 day game jam, and especially for a game made in Pico 8 everything feels so finished and well made - the buttons, the animated manual with colors and sfx, the game over screen where the piggies keep bouncing around amazing job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the positivie feedback! I think the gameover screen is my favourite too.

*oink*
