I have only tested it in chrome so cannot guarantee it's function in other browsers.

Top Tip: Ignore the time and score at first, just stick to trying to find the apples, in order to get a quick time or high score, you will need to know where the apples are.
Game:
Play as Big Fat Pig, in a level full of apples. Roll around and collect apples. To finish the level roll in the pile of mud!
BFP wants to find and eat all the apples, will you help him find them all?
As you change size this will effect what you can do and where you can go in the level, so you will have to discover and strategically plan the best way to be able to find and eat all of the apples! That is just one of the 3 challenges within the game.....
You are rated on time, amount of apples you eat and score (calculated with time and apples).
The more apples you eat, the bigger you get.
Brown platforms are solid, cream platforms move, you can jump or drop through blue platforms. You can break through blocks of hay when you are big enough.
So the unknown mysteries are; How many apples are there? Where are they? How can they all be collected? How can you achieve 3 gold stars? Why is this pig so damn fat?
Aim:
I have made one level for this game so far, but it should take some time and be rather challenging to achieve 3 gold stars. You can achieve each star by completing different challenges within the level. For each challenge, you can achieve a bronze, silver or gold star depending on how well you do. See if you can get all 3 gold stars.
About:
For this entry I tried to reflect the theme in the game play rather than the setting or plot. In my previous entry for the Construct 2030 jam, it was a bit more plot focussed, theme wise, so I wanted to do something different this time. Like my previous entry this is a platformer where strategy is key, but with this game it is more puzzle focussed rather than action, and you can play at your own pace.
I hope people will enjoy playing this game and trying to figure out how to obtain those 3 gold stars.
If anyone gets stuck, needs some hints or thinks they have discovered any bugs, please let me know what they are.
It will be great to know how people get on, so please share your best food score, overall score and best times in the comments/reviews!
Thanks for reading and thanks for playing!
