This is a big effort project for the jam. Insane for something to be attempted for the jam even. Kudos! Just the pigs tend to stuck, other than that amazing job. Music choice could fit better as well but other than those, it is fantastic.

Thanks. It really was a massive effort, but also the first jam so next one need to tone it down lol

It would be beneficial, yes. 3D + this kind of gameplay combination is mind-blowing to me. I really like the gameplay.

Really fun and visceral use of the theme! I love this kind of game and this is a great darker twist on the genre. I ran into some frustration with tightly-packed buildings causing pigs to not be able to complete their paths. I also think allowing replacing building (maybe through sell and rebuild) and/or having a quick reset button for each level would be good quality of life upgrades. Very ambitious and very fun, well done!

Developer

Hi thank you for your feedback

This was a pretty high effort jam submission. Well done. 

if you gave my game a rating too i'd appreciate it quite a bit. 

Developer

Thank you it was hard

the ui doesn't seem to scale well for me. when i zoom to full screen the bottom ui panel takes up half the screen. i would like to play more though. nice vibe to it

Developer

Yes I'm sorry for that, when uploads reopen I will update it.

The combination of the pigs themselves operating the slaughterhouse and all of them being named makes the game very morbidly enjoyable. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

I am impressed with this game being made within the timeframe of the jam given that it's all 3d, and the pigs were pretty smart about knowing where they needed to go! I wish there was a volume slider because the slaughterhouse is quite loud but I did enjoy the gameplay of automating pig production, and having the lazy pigs enter the slaughterhouse was tragic but quite funny. Good game!

They are not smart, it's just a state machine with about 7 or 8 states.
The volume in the slaughterhouse is deliberate, it's where the realization of fate takes place and has to have impact that the little piggies with names to go to their death.

This game was pretty fun and the premise is darkly humorous. It's especially dark that all those poor piggies get names TT^TT Poor little Ketchup, you just didn't work hard enough!

Overall, great game- I really enjoyed it.

Developer

Thanks! It was a fun idea to name the pigs, you get attached then they get sliced and chopped.
