How does your game apply the limitation (and optionally, the theme)?
We interpreted the Boss theme as someone who is cool. You play as a badass pig, the Hog Boss, living their life on the edge.

I can’t help but smile while I play this game. Pretty well executed and beautiful theming.
I really like the cover art
Nice work! I think the game could have better pacing with less enemy health, but other than that it all felt great!
sorry, but it needs to be optimized for anyone to play it
but it looks funny and the theme makes it funnier
I thought the pig was cat xD
with cover art like that how i could NOT play?? ... such great cover art. also i enjoyed the game! it was HARD but i had a few good rounds. i really wish the projectiles were a bit slower especially when people are just getting used to the game.
i appreciated the small visual touches on the main character - the lean of the motorcycle when moving left or right was nice, and i also like how the pig looked in the direction you're aiming! great job!
Funny take on the theme, haha, I enjoy the Boss Hog image a lot. Cool shmup, the diagonal shooting was pretty powerful, and it was fun that enemies could block eachothers' shots. Some technical issues as detailed in other comments, but overall, solid entry!
I scored 863! What a main character design, hahaha. He's really the Hog Boss. Funny take on "boss" too. I like how the bullets are all farm crops (I think). I found a strategy where you can use the cow-biker on the top as a shield from bullets coming from the left or right!
Well, I got to a score of 313, the I died and the game soft locked. It's such a strange, weird idea that it somehow becomes really fun. Great work!
Hi there!
Visually speaking: it looks cool, I like the 3D models even if I feel a few particles would have been nice behing those wheels (we can clearly see the wheels are not rolling). It also lacks a bit of animations when you shoot those apples, when you get hit, etc... player feedback isn't that great.
Also, the game crashes when you lose: the scene is kinda stuck: no more motorbike, no more health in the health bar, but no gameover screen.
Audio/music are great, that's for sure!
Last point is the "on the edge" part, I don't feel that it's that crazy to throw apples on a motorbike lol.
Beside of that, it was visually a funny experience, congrats for publishing it!
