Porklike

Porklike is a minimalistic, classic Roguelike made in the Pico-8 enigne. Enter the tower of Wurstlord. Can you make it to the top and steal his legendary Kielbasa? 9 floors of dangerous traps and enemies await you. Only if you move carefully and master your character's abilities will you become the champion of Porklike.

The music was composed by Sebastian Haßler. The environment art as well as the protagonist was inspired by the work of the pixel artist @pixelartm and used with their permission. The artwork of the enemies was inspired by the work of the pixel artist @kirai_s and used with their permission as well.

Porklike was created as part of a video tutorial series. If you want to make your own Roguelike, please check it out:

Ha! I just started watching your series! It's really neat to see this! I've sort of been jumping around the episodes trying to see some stuff. Haven't actually started on the game bc I'm not at my computer watching your vids <shrug>. Can't wait!

Heck yeah! Great game and nice manual.

A fine roguelike indeed.

A classical roguelike, on Pico-8, no less? That's like two of my retro gaming guilty pleasures!

Your game development series is an inspiration to us all :D

EDIT: I just realised that the gameplay here is very Necrodancer-esque. I might make a CotN demake for my next Pico-8 game!

Just recently watched the tutorials too and I was wondering where porklike was actually published. Nice to see it popping up here now :) Great work on the game and great work on the tutorials too! :D

I've been watching your tutorials for a while now and gg dude!

Love this fun little rouge like!

Really like it! The manual telling you how to play looks super cool, and I like how you can't take to long in each level.

I really want to learn how to make stuff like this, but I use a chrmebook and it has parental controls on it, so I can't watch normal Youtube, so it'll be a while till I can learn, not that I had Pico-8 on my computer anyway.

This game is just awesome

Simply the best pico-8 game ever. Please continue making games @Krystman =))

Hello Krystman, I am slightly new to Pico-8 and I was wondering if I could do a re skin of Porkalike. I would still give you full credit when I post it.

This is most excellent. Gameplay is very well balanced, yet challenging enough to warrant repeat plays.

The game is awesome
I love the tutorials

Worth the wait. One of the best I've played recently.

why have you done this to me :(

@SmellyFishstiks It's revenge for that one thing that you did. ;)

:O

I watched your introspective of Porklike on Youtube the other day. It resonated strongly with me as I went through a lot of the same stuff on Zedwolf, I just wanted to say thanks for talking about it :)

Thanks for this game and the great tutorial series!

Guess what game I played first, when I managed to update my PocketCHIP to Pico-8 v0.20i!? :)

(I died on floor 8 unfortunately... ;) )

Another short question: Why did you ditch the idea of the endlessly running bass loop on floor 0? In the release version the complete music seems to be playing from the start.
