It’s exactly like the experience of being a pig in real life, except completely different. BE PIGS. WEAR HATS. WITH 8 FRIENDS AT ONCE. Ever wanted to be a purple pig and wear a mushroom hat? Now you can! Choose your pig’s color and hat, and unlock more hats as you play. IT’S LOWKEY COMPETITIVE Truffle Hogs is silly, colorful, and fun... but it's also competitive! The game itself is a fast-paced strategy game where you’ll run around searching for buried truffles, stealing truffles found by other players, defending your own truffles, and grabbing some crazy powerups. DECORATE YOUR TREEHOUSE When you play the game with others, you’ll invite them over to your treehouse. So, why not make your treehouse look absolutely sweet? There are thousands of combinations of roofs, floors, walls, and more. Want a super edgy all-black goth house? Or a pretty pink house with a hearts and rainbow floor? The only limit is your imagination (and me adding more decoration options into the game). 100% INDIE Truffle Hogs is being made by one person (my name is Avi, hi!), with additional art and music produced by a few of his friends. The game is currently free-to-play, with no in-app purchases, and is only supported by optional ads that do not affect the game competitively. There are no lootboxes or other icky gambling mechanics here! COLOR BLIND ACCESSIBLE 
Truffle Hogs relies on colors to distinguish between teams, but you can turn on color-blind mode to use patterns as well as colors to distinguish between teams. It also just looks cool, so you might want to turn it on even if you’re not color-blind!

Bicycle Dash" is an exhilarating first-person perspective runner game that offers players the unique experience of adrenaline-fueled bicycle riding. Designed for the mass market, it appeals to players seeking a thrilling sense of speed and danger, all from the safety of their screen. The game is built around a core gameplay loop that emphasizes intuitive and nuanced control, achieved through swerve input and acceleration control. Players steer their bicycle by swerving their finger across the screen, a control scheme that is both accessible and precise. Acceleration is managed by maintaining contact with the screen, with the bicycle slowing down when the player lifts their finger. This mechanic adds strategic depth, requiring players to balance their need for speed against the necessity of navigating through challenging courses. The environment of "Bicycle Dash" is designed to amplify the game's core experience. Levels are set in high altitude environments, offering expansive vistas that add a sense of danger and immersion. The track design is intentionally simple for clarity, with modular elements that can be reskinned to fit various themes, such as a Medellin-themed level with local houses, hills, and characteristic tracks. As players race through the levels, they encounter various obstacles, including stairs, curves, toys, rough bumps, and ramps. The game encourages players to collect stars to gain and maintain speed, introducing an element of risk-reward as higher speeds increase the chance of crashing. Crashes result in a respawn at the nearest checkpoint, with a time penalty, adding to the game's challenge. One of the game's standout features is its emphasis on satisfying, feel-good moments. These include collecting stars and achieving high speeds, where air-cutting particles and field-of-view effects enhance the sensation of velocity. Additionally, players can experience the thrill of jumping off ramps and breaking through obstacles, such as billboards, adding to the game's dynamic and interactive environment. The game sets short-term and long-term goals for players, motivating them to achieve the best times in individual runs and to unlock skill moves and climb up the leaderboard over time. The challenge of the game lies in mastering the hold and release mechanics to avoid over speeding at critical turning points, maintaining momentum, and skillfully avoiding obstacles. "Bicycle Dash" is not just a game; it's an adventure on two wheels, offering a thrilling blend of speed, strategy, and spectacle. With its intuitive controls, strategic gameplay, and immersive environments, it promises to be a hit with players looking for an adrenaline-packed gaming experience.
