Hey guys, Long time lurker here at TouchArcade. I wanted to share my game: Pixel Pig. We are launching next Tuesday on iPad/iPhone (not universal) Mac/PC and Kongregate. The free versions and Android will come later this month. Pixel Pig came out of the idea that I really liked games like Sushi Cat and Peggle, but I wanted more control over the ball once it was shot into the play-field. With Pixel Pig, once he's launched into the field, you can blast him upwards with the gas button or tilt your iPad to subtly steer him left or right. We also have a pretty nifty upgrade system that's tied into the Achievements you earn. Please feel free to ask any questions about the game, an edited version of our press release is below: Mar Vista, CA (February 8, 2011) – Smorpheus Games Laboratory, today announces the worldwide release of their first game titles: Pixel Pig and Pixel Pig HD. A fresh take on the pachinko puzzle game genre, Pixel Pig will be available for play on iPad, iPhone, PC, and Mac. iPad, PC, and Mac feature a special high-resolution version of the game called Pixel Pig HD. Product Features Genre: (Puzzle / Arcade) Region:*Worldwide Price:*$2.99 USD (All platforms) Platforms: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad/PC (Win7 & XP)/Mac (Intel-Only) Official Website: http://www.smorpheus.com/PixelPig/ Unlike most other pachinko-type games, players never lose control of Pixel Pig: Use his gas button to blast him to the top of the game board, tilt your iPad or iPhone to alter his airborne path. Pixel Pig features over 40 levels of gameplay. Each level has multiple score targets that go towards unlocking achievements. Achievements, in turn, are used to upgrade Pixel Pig giving him more efficient gas reserves, better tilt sensitivity, and increased girth.

It utilizes the advanced nVIDIA PHYSX physics engine to render engaging and realistic physics within Pixel’s strange world.

Bought. So much fun! I love it! One thing, though. Could the Gold Medal point requirements be a little lower? It's hard to get most of them. Thanks!
