Have you ever played Punch-Out! and liked the extremely tense "read the punch—dodge—counterattack" style? Pork Bound brings that feeling, but with a new coat: a farm setting, a monster with a pig's head and a human face, and a short but haunting story. The duration is only about 20 minutes, just enough to entertain you but still leave an emotional impression.
In the game, you play as Aaron—a guy who has just lost his brother. You must first save your parents from the farm's invading creatures, including a herd of giant pigs with human faces, before you can move on.
Your mission: use boxing skills to defeat each enemy, overcome boss battles and survive to the end.
The highlight of Pork Bound is the rhythmic boxing mechanism, inspired by Punch-Out!:
You can play Pork Bound right on the browser or download the installer:
- Don't rush to attack: wait for the opponent to attack and then counterattack.
- Always move: dodge to keep distance and open up counterattack opportunities.
- Learn the boss's "pattern": each boss has its own rhythm; understanding it will make it much easier to win.
- Contact Hungry Lamu: If you have ever heard of Hungry Lamu or Seamongrel, Pork Bound is in the same "universe" created by Kulu, keeping the same graphic style and the mix of cuteness and horror.
Pork Bound is a short, dramatic, and unique indie game. If you want to find a feeling of both suspense and satisfaction in 20 minutes, try it now—you can play directly on the browser or download it for the most complete experience.
