Piggly Demo

Having children is obviously a lot of hard work and dedication, but it’s something every species out there has to do in order to assure its survival. But even in cold, scientific terms, parenthood can get overwhelming at times and people find themselves in weird situations, trying to make their children happy and provide them with everything they need.

Piggly is a casual platformer in which you control a little pink pig by the name or Mrs. Piggy, that must face the dangers of the forest in order to provide her bundles of joy with a delicious pie. Although the game is obviously designed to be enjoyed mainly by kids and people who do not play video games all that often, even seasoned gamers can have a bit of fun with it, especially since it is really good for its category.

The story is not too complicated, on the other hand, because all Piggly must do is gather a certain number of apples from each level and bring them back home. Naturally, the journey through the forest is the most dangerous part, as well as the most challenging, but nothing changes plot-wise. The difficulty level steadily increases over the course of the adventure.

Carrying the apples is usually done by simply pushing them around, although that makes it difficult to transport them over water or enemy-infested areas. As such, various other means of transportation are available as well, including baskets. Limitations come into play too, such as the fact that baskets are only capable of carrying a single apple, which forces you to make multiple trips.

As previously mentioned, the visual aspect is quite refined, especially when you consider the quality of the animations and the beautiful level design. The landscapes are soaked in every possible color, which makes the adventure that much more serene and relaxing. To top things off, a beautiful soundtrack keeps you company as well, not to mention the plethora of environmental sounds.

All things considered, Piggly is a wonderful platformer fit for anyone who wants to have a bit of fun, not just children. Hence, if you do not mind the silly theme and the rainbow of colors, this is definitely going to brighten your day and even provide you with a mild challenge every once in a while.
