    "Bacon - The Game" will be released on December 5th for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch!

    Gameplay Trailer :


    Raphael here, from 3Arts Studio, Quebec, Canada, to present you the very first images of our brand new game for iOS, named - wait for it - BACON!!!!

    Who doesn't love bacons?! Seriously, everyone loves those sweet little slices of pork, for breakfast, for lunch, or even for a midnight yummy-yummy. That's exactly the feeling we want to give you with this game, we wouldn't want to ruin this delicious meal!

    Since PokerTower, our first game, we developped and designed this little gem of our from the ground-up, waving through different game and art styles, debating for the best and the worse. So today we are very proud and excited to show you our first screenshots. Take a look :

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Basically, Bacon is a line-drawing puzzle game where, in each room, you must remember where the walls and the obstacles are, and avoid them to eat as much bacons as possible! But watch out, everytime you eat a bacon, you gain weight, thus making you wider. The fatter you are, the harder it is to avoid walls.

    The game will feature more than 150 rooms, many powerups, avatars, and tons, TONS of bacons! Even sweet maple-flavored bacons! It will also have many achievements and leaderboards, and will include some game-tracking stats!

    We will also be very pleased to answer any questions you may have about the game, and don't be shy to ask them here!

    Until next time, we wish you all bon appétit!

    Hey guys long time no see! ;)

    We have a lot of things going on right now for our project, and since we last came here, new things were added to the game!

    First of all, we added powerups, that will help the player through its journey! Those powerups are :
    -Third Eye : See the level for 5 seconds
    -Shield : Everyone deserves a second chance! (Protect you from your first collision)
    -Magnet : When you stop walking, the magnet is activated, allowing you to get unreachable bacons

    We also added inks and avatars, which allow you to personalize your experience with the game! We have more than 15 different inks, and about 10 different avatars including those ones (my personal favorites) :

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Also, for those who were wondering, our game will be free-to-play, including different IAPs which will enhance your experience, but those are COMPLETELY OPTIONAL, they are only there to help you! You also have the possibility to "Cook" Maple Bacons that you will trade for many things, like the avatars.

    We are also planning to release the game by the end of Fall 2013.

    Have a wonderful evening everyone, and don't forget that if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here!

    Well, the game has not been approved by Apple yet, so we can't provide any promo codes right now, but once it is approved we can indeed share some with you guys! :) Just keep following the thread as we'll post them here, probably on next friday!

    Hi guys!

    Awesome news!! :D The game just had been approved by Apple for release, which means it will be available next week, on December 5th, as planned!! We also worked on new features for a future update, which will be ready approx. one week after the release. These new features will include a Hardcore Mode, which hides everything in the room, but double your score, and also a beautiful 'Night' Theme to help your eyes during the darker hours! Here's how it will looks like :

    Spent some time with this, this morning while eating my bacon sandwich of all things lol, anyways, I love the minimal design, it's makes the levels look easier than they actually are, it's so much more than simply drawing a line, you need to allow for the arrow to grow in size as it collects the bacon, and your line can only be so long, I can see this demanding a lot of logic in later levels. There are iaps for bacon, which you buy power ups with but from what I can see so far they are totally optional, it's a great unique take on Line drawing puzzles and worth a look.

    Thank you really much to both of you for your comments about the game! We are glad you could pick up a code to play before everyone else! :)

    Even if we did talked a little bit to ourselves during the development, we felt the need to continuously update the game as we were building a small community around the game, and we wanted to show everyone following the thread how much we love our game and how great it's gonna be!

    We also hope you'll like the next update we're working on right now, it's not a big deal, but Hardcore mode really adds an immense difficulty to the game ;)

    Have a good day!
