Name? Check. Art? Check. Music? Check. This is firing on all cylinders and they're all troll. Good job. Game itself felt super difficult, but where else can you be a pig in a minecart and listen to chiptune renditions of overrated pop music? A+

Great and addictive game!
I would have wished for one or two more lives, but the rest is pretty good.
I will definitely play some more rounds! : )

Funny game, remind me Donkey Kong Country mine level
Very sad the game is die and retry because of bad camera placement
Good graphics however

Love the art, love the name, love the pun and that music makes you jam! (pun intended). I would've loved perhaps a bit higher Jump as currently I'm getting destroyed. But hey, if difficulty is intended, this hit the mark!

@beytullahunal Yes the difficulty was intended. We wanted the player to rely on lighting and sound cues.

I love the artwork and sound. The gameplay is obviously easy to understand but hard to master. Maybe I just don't have that good reflexes anymore. Never made it really far down. A couple of times I died because I jumped to try to get a power up and than landed onto an enemy. Guess that's bad luck, but also it feels a bit frustrationg as there was nothing I could have done better

Love the artwork and sound, simple gameplay; quite laggy though, not sure if theres enough con-troll-ability! +1 Star for the nice pun and wicked artist!

Looks great! I had a good time playing it even though I died a lot. I think because of the shadows, obstacles sometimes appear quite suddenly and it's hard to react in time. Fun game overall!

@noskro "I jumped to try to get a power up and than landed onto an enemy.", yeah my bad, I did that deliberately. ![trap.gif](///raw/2fd/93/z/406bb.gif)

@flyingkiwi Some browsers lag on WebGL, not sure what's the deal. Unity 2020 LTS is so buggy, I actually thought if I was using some beta version. Also we wanted to experiment Unity's new 2D Renderpipeline, so could be that. Thanks for the feedback.

Amazing 2D animation! Unfortunately the fast scrolling background gives me some serious motion sickness, maybe it could do with some slow parallax :D

@bqq Guess that's the pressure change due to the low attitude ;) . Thank you for the feedback.

Graphics are neat !
The restart button doesn't seem to work for me
As mentioned by other ludumdarer, the overall experience is a bit laggy aswell
Not sure about the light, as it gets darker closer to the pig ?

Overall, a good take on the theme

Really difficult, but also truly fun. The graphics are great, the sounds good, all in all a fun entry. Thanks!

I wish I could see just a little more, this way its very difficult because sometimes obstacles pop up way to quick in the screenview. The game looks nice, sound solid and the main idea behind this would be great. Its just a bit to hard / maybe even unfair.
