Title: Hoggy 2
Developer: Raptisoft
[Greenlight Page]
What type of game is it?
Platform Puzzler
What’s the 30 second elevator pitch?
As Hoggy, a strange purple blob, you must solve puzzles and eat fruit using a variety of abilities and power-ups as to save your family.
What do we like most about it?
Hoggy 2 actually looks amazing. It combines a Mario 2 style level design, a Kirby style character, and a James Pond: Robocod style inversion of platform. While I hate dropping comparisons like that -as they are somewhat lazy- I mean that with the utmost respect, as those three titles were in their own regards peaks in the genre.
Also cute and welcoming, the game’s 200+ puzzles all revolve around using the environmental hazards and enemies as to try and clear your way through the levels to get to various fruits or keys, many of which will give you a single action with a special power-up that can then be used to further progress. Importantly though, everything audio and visual looks and sounds absolutely pristine, completely flawless.
My only complaint about what I’ve seen so far of the game is the slow movement speed of the main character, but that concern is completely dwarfed by the style, scale, and inclusion of a level-editor.
When’s it due?
Hoggy 2 is set to launch in the fourth quarter of this year, when it does launch it will do so for Windows PC, and Mac.
