2017 – Baconman (Art)

You know how Ludum Dare Games go.

You grab your friends, stumble around in the dark, and make bacon- Fast!
So yeah, we created a game last minute, but sure is fun to see what you can with a few hours of silliness.

Took 43rd out of 2889 submissions for humor.

So Top 50 is pretty awesome for 1 day of work right? 

❤️ Don’t you love reviews ❤️

(Yes this is totally just gamified reviews and an ego-trip but it’s nice, it shows how even dumb stuff can be successful for 5 mins lol also why show pictures when I can walls of text instead??)

“Love your MS Paint-esque art as always, silly game but pretty fun! Managed to keep it going for a long while lol.” -by exezin

“HAHAHHA! This totally busted me up! The control scheme was comic genius, as was the sounds. Love it. LOOOOVE IT.” -by MrLeePerry

“This game is hilarious, sfx are just magnificent, it’s hard in some way too, manipulating two hands is confusing, great work.” -by Goplite

“Baconman is the greatest game I’ve ever player!. Haha, nice work in the time, it’s fun for a few mins. Sound is so good. If that game sums up the type of person you are, you must be a really fun. Nice work. Only thing is the hitbox is a little wacky at times.” – by Slyddar 

“Digging the overall goofiness of this! The character designs do a really great job of selling the style. ….”-by Sean S. LeBlanc

“Simple but fun! It gets hypnotic after a while! The audio clips go from funny, to annoying, and once you play it long enough it comes around to funny again. Being able to control both hands independently was great – a lot of little mini-strategies arose organically out of it. I liked parking an empty hand above a cooking piece so I wouldn’t miss it once it was done, while managing the monsters with the other. Really enjoyed this!” -by fluidvolt

“By the power of Bacon… I have the power!”

This is a funny game! The character made me laugh, and the art-style suits it. Also the SFX add to the funny mood (and I recognized the monsters’ growl ). The mechanic is interesting, I think it would work great with gamepad like in “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons”. Only the music was annoying sometimes.”-by KiRa937
