when pigs fly
When pigs fly, their wings are ever so delicate. A game about teaching a pig to fly by Anna Anthropy.
I thought I got to a point where the levels started going around in circles, but anthropy's site says that this is her commercial game, so I guess there isn't some kind of trick where you have to go backwards to win (which is the sort of thing I'd expect from her).
I wish I realized that before I started going backwards.
Anyway, yeah, this is one of those sadistic-on-purpose game.
I'm at the level with the lava and three ceiling things coming down and I have two spaces of room to fly above the lava. I only got this far because I wanted to be among the ones who beat this REALLY STUPID GAME!! Gosh, it's annoying. Good grief! This is a new low, Bart...
To tell you the truth i was REALLY annoyed on several levels to the point of closing this window and never playing it again. but i still liked it and i finished it diffulculty i admit. Great game i have a special liking to old school games where the graphics arent too flashy. i also say if you are impatient DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT PLAYING. i warned you now its up too you to see if i was right.
Hey, if you look towards the bottom of this page, there's a game called William and Sly, and just to let Kong members know, it has four pretty easy badges now. :)
spoiler: when you are outside (its the last screen. yay.) just fly straight up and youll win. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
1:14:10, 515 deaths (I left the computer for a while though also)
OK, peeps, here's what I learned: After having decided troubles steering my pig I looked at my browser. I am using IE8 (yeah, yeah, YECH) and my zoom level was 100%. 150% didn't do much either, but at 75%, guess what, this game became a breeze! I practically sailed through the remaining levels (goes to show how frustrating the first ones are) I think that just for the heck of it I'll try that one again. - But not today! Hehehe...
How many levels? I didn't count but it seemed to me to be around 30 or 40.
Aww cute concept. Love the oldschool graphics. I keep breaking my wings though =(
ReplyDeletetoo bad
ReplyDeletePreferred attic attack...oh...hold on...that was 25 years ago...where this game and its genre belongs
ReplyDeletehaha hilarious, love it, hard too :-)
ReplyDeleteThe squealing every single time the character dies and the imperfection of the game control makes this game decidedly un-fun
ReplyDeleteyep don't like it
