Like anyone actually cares... :-) Oh well, here it is, anyway: You're a cute, bouncy rubber pig, caught in some weird toy world in a parallel universe. As always, the only way out is through. Or at least, that's your best bet, as you can't seem to figure out any other way - and you probably don't want to be a toy rubber pig for the rest of your life. (How long do toy rubber pigs live, anyway?) So, off you go, to run, jump and stomp your way through this strange looking toy world. Hopefully, you will find a portal back to your universe or something eventually. Or maybe you'll just wake up, have a big cup of black coffee, and realize that the layer of toys covering the floor reminds a great deal of something you dreamt. Better not waste your limited supply of lives until you know for sure, tough. What if it *isn't* a dream...? The Game -------- Well, Fixed Rate Pig is just another retro style platform game, inspired by the 8 bit generation. Controls are very simple: Left and right arrows to move left/right, and the up arrow to jump. The enemies are the evil looking spinning heads. Some bounce around, just to be a bit more annoying. Jump and stomp'em all in the head! When all enemies are gone, the level is clear. Jumping when stomping an enemy gives you an extra high jump from the point of impact. Note that you get knocked if you're hit by an enemy while standing or walking on a platform - even if the enemy hits you from below. You need to be falling downwards with some speed to stomp someone. Watch out for the holes in the floor! Falling off the map means you lose one life. Avoid running into enemies or getting stomped, as that knocks you out and has you falling past platforms for a brief moment. That's actually no big deal - provided you wake up before you fall off the screen... At certain score intervals, powerups icons are dropped into the level. Pick these up before they fall off the screen! (No need to stomp them.) Original game by David Olofson Amiga port by Artur "Orta" Jarosik Music by Jogeir Liljedahl
