I've been following this game from the very beginning and am loving everything about it so far. The music is outstanding, the comedy is on point and it's got a great combination of challenge and reward without punishing you too hard like some games in this genre. I do wish it had better instructions for us keyboard users but it didn't take long to figure things out.

Although I'm having an astounding amount of difficulty with the game ( it is hard for me ) I still have to give it a recommendation. The game is good and the devs have been very responsive. I just need to get better.

Disclaimer: I really wish Steam had a neutral review option. I don't want to be harsh Cute 2D platformer with 3d graphics. It's very retro, taking a lot of inspiration from late 90s early 2000s games. The artwork and level themes feel unique, and the chacters are different enough to feel replayable. The sound track is excellent- combining the retro feel with modern quality. Plus it's actually finished. My playlist lately has been entirely early-access and Paradox games so this is notable to me. Unfortunately, the game also took the stupid checkpoints from those retro games. Forcing players to replay the same frustrating section for each new attempt at an inst-kill obstacle isn't fun and isn't real difficulty. There are multiple sections like this- just enough simple puzzles and just enough faffing about to make the game a chore. When I got to a point where I think a checkpoint had outright been removed for the lols*, I rage quit. The game also makes no attempt to be playable wit...

This game is amazing. If you enjoyed platforming games like Mega Man games, Donkey Kong Country, Rayman, Earthworm Jim, etc. - you will enjoy Bacon Man. This game has all the right things to create a great platforming game - such as challenge, awesome music, tough jumps, hidden chests, and humor. There are epic battles scattered throughout this game...such as against Excaliboar and Feta. If you'd enjoy a nice challenge the first time through, face Feta "blind". He really is a great "boss" battle and is very rewarding once you best him at the end of the Colocheeseum. Boss battles aside, the re-attempts you may face in a level will most likely be due to rushing through a situation before thinking, rather than the controls being the issue. The controls handle nicely. I purchased this game release, and my goodness, it has it been updated nearly each time I have logged into Steam - even twice or so in the same day! The developers definitely show they care with this awesome, little ...

I had the opportunity to play early versions of this game and have always been blown away with the level of detail and quality these guys bring to this game. I think their goal was to simulate how you might feel if you ate ten pounds of bacon and they nailed it! Be warned, you will likely sweat a lot, your chest will tighten, and your left arm will tingle a bit but that’s what you expect from a tougher than nails game. I give this 10 out of 10 and, assuming I keep a defibrillator nearby, can’t wait to play all the way through this one!

I don't like it. The game is too easy, the combat is boring, movement is slow and feels like you're on the moon, platforming is tedious as hell, and the levels you're platforming through are poorly designed. That's really all I can say. 24 minutes into the game, I get into this cave full of floaters and spikes, designed like something you'd expect from I Wanna Be the Guy, except the placement of the floaters is so close that you're constantly having to run the analog stick back and forth to course correct. Even "I Wanna" games, for all of their absurd precision platforming difficulty, understand the concept of designing levels so that they flow nicely. You aren't sitting there constantly jittering your movement back and forth to fight against an unnaturally floaty jump arc combined with tiny platforms. I died probably six times in this room before I decided to quit and refund the game. And that's where the distinction between difficulty and tedium becomes important. I can knock out a n...

Bacon Man: A Recipe For Success I just completed my first blind playthrough of this game solely as Bacon Man. This review is based on those first impressions. Gameplay I played with an Xbox 360 controller. Controls were tight. Other reviews had said as much, but I felt entirely in control of Bacon Man at all times. This means that any failure I may have encountered stemmed from my own mechanical inability, impatience, and the occasional generous hit detection, which means that success is all the more satisfying. From a mechanical standpoint, imagine that Mega Man X, Donkey Kong Country and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night had a threesome and birthed a delicious, greasy baby. The inspiration of other platformers is rampant and glorious. As a longtime fan of the Donkey Kong Country series, I was pleased to see mechanics like throwing enemies and hanging from ceilings present. There is also a co-op mode, but because I am sad and friendless I haven't been able to make use of it, so I c...

Actually pretty sweet so far, graphics are gorgeous. don't have much to say yet. Just want to get another positive review up. *it is really good, I played more :) platforming is so fun and the levels are really well done. fantastic game, has me smiling like crazy as I play.

Bacon Man: An Adventure in good and bad upsets The "too lazy to read the rest of this summary" summary: The gameplay is generally good and challenge is frustrating but rewarding, but you will encounter numerous mostly minor bugs. Bacon Man is a platformer that feels like it's got some heart behind parts of it's construction, but it's missing a very much needed polish and an extra run from the Q&A department. It's clearly harkening back to the strange world and hubris of Earthworm Jim, where you have a comical world of cartoonish characters with some generally light hearted writing behind it that I'm sure younger players would enjoy, slapstick a common occurance during most cutscenes. The humour however is slanted slightly by the fact that the main characters don't really emote outside of body gestures, faces are plastered on, yet you have a character in the form of "The Pork King" who despite being a way simpler design than the protagonists comes off as a much more expressive c...
