You can also only tap for so long, 1.2 seconds to be exact, before you are exhausted and must land before you can tap again.

It was created in 48 hours. The theme was tied between \"2 Button Controls\" and \"Growing\", so in this game you control a pig that just wants to eat more sweets (candy,) specifically liquorice allsorts (Do they even have\r\nthose outside the UK? Probably not.)\r\n\r\n\r\nREQUIREMENTS\r\n------------\r\n\r\nYou'll need a graphics card with OpenGL 3.3 support.\r\n\r\n\r\nCONTROLS\r\n--------\r\n\r\n\t* A : Hold to run to the right. Release to stop.\r\n\t* L : Tap to jump and remain airborne.\r\n\t* ESC : Exit\r\n\t* P : Exit\r\n\r\n\r\nHOW TO PLAY\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nCollect the sweets to score. Score is only allocated upon completion of a level. Collecting all the sweets in a level gives a score multiplier for that level. Every sweet you collect makes you grow fatter and as a consequence you can't jump as high with each tap of the L button, so tap harder!\r\n\r\nYou lose if you fall behind the moving camera or if you land on a sugar spike.","title":"Pig Belly Runner"}
