Pretty good and addictive gameplay. Teaches you how to play without explaining it for you. Not bad
Reviews for "Save the Pig"
Man, add unlockables for full completion! Maybe speed runs, and a bonus challenge level, then a speed run for the bonus level after fully completing it.
Tight platforming action, good level design, smooth animation, solid control, great color palette and visuals, decent enemy variation and design. But the replay value is low.
This could make it into a full game on something like Humble or the various console arcades. But it would need more levels (perhaps different worlds/areas) and, as I said, more replay value, such as speed runs and a bonus challenge stage. I'd buy it for a few bucks. If you're feeling ambitious try 2-player head-to-head competition mode for points and time (I guess weight time into points, and give each enemy a point value).
3.5 because low replay value.

Excellent post, thank you! This is our first serious game and it was very difficult to finish! We will try to make our games better. Maybe we'll come back to this game and will do better next part. Thanks for playing.
Just like any other platformer 3/5 -meh
There is nothing unique about this game. It's just a typical 2D sidescroller with one or two puzzle elements, and a difficulty spike halfway through. Around the eighth level, hazards and enemies start being placed too close together, giving you no time to respond to attacks. It turns what should have been a simple collect-a-thon into a battle for survival.
Good platformer, but the only thing 'unique' about it's mechanics is that it cons us into playing it by promising uniqueness.
This is unique because everybody else knows that conning users creates dissatisfaction, and gets voted off the site.
