Proximity Alert: Pig Eat Ball

After years in development, Pig Eat Ball from Mommy’s Best Games is just a few months away. To gear up for the launch, a playable demo has just been released Mommy's Best Games' Itch page, and there's a crowdfunding campaign on Fig, with reward tiers granting you access to the Steam, PS4, or Xbox One versions of the game, a digital art book, the game's soundtrack, and even a pill bug statue and the ability to design your own character in the game. To find out more, check our full coverage of the game here.

The game features a young pig princess named Bow living on a space station filled with clam people. Her father, King Cake, has decided to host a competition to win his daughter’s hand in marriage. But Bow has a different idea… she dons a disguise and enters the contest herself. The game features a number of different level types, most of which center around eating tennis balls. However, if you eat too many tennis balls, you get too fat to fit through narrow corridors, so you have to barf them up, slip through, and then re-eat the barfed up balls… called “barfies” for short. The game also features a number of competitive multiplayer modes for up to four players where players race each other, fight over tennis balls, and even build sandwiches. The game also includes a level editor.
