Spicy Piggy - Speedy auto-running platformer

Hey. Thanks for all the lovely words, guys. Been chipping away at it more over the Christmas holidays. I've updated the original post with more GIFS.

what was your inspiration for the art in the game?

Mario 3 and old silly cartoons with animals hurting each other. Haha!

The new gifs of the finalized robot and toy lands are amazing! The toy world especially is an interesting one. Great job there. One of the really good ones here this production of yours is.

this is great man. the level assembling effect is great! are you parsing a TMX or something?

This looks amazing! Such a fun concept.

I've no clue what that even means, man! Haha! I'm just using a plugin called move_to to move them to the correct position when the player gets close. It might be a performance hog, but I kinda just make this stuff up as I go. Haha!

Thanks a lot, man. I'll put that in my ego box for later!

Thanks, lad!

The pig is simply lovely.

Love the graphical style and the manic pace. Agree with what brushfe said - more slidey - like this real life pig on ice. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Everything looks very funny!

But isn't it right to use ther word "Runner" to explain the idea?

Btw the game doesn't look like your 4 year old nephew could play - because of the speed it looks very hard!

This is really really good. Looking forward to this!

It gets pretty hard if you play it fast, but you don't have to. If you don't keep sliding, teh game plods along at a slower pace. Check out the first 2 GIFs I posted. They show fast n' slow players. It's easier if you take it easy, but you won't get the best scores. I'm designing the levels to encourage replaying, so you get used to the layouts, then you can dash through them faster.
