Bacon May Die is an engaging side-scrolling game where players control a pig character battling quirky enemies using a variety of weapons and power-ups.
In Bacon May Die, players navigate their pig character defeating waves of enemies by using melee and ranged attacks to survive. The controls are to use the arrow keys or WASD to move and fight, press and hold the left/right arrow or A/D keys to shoot, and use the up arrow or W key combined with the opposite direction key to throw grenades. A two-player mode in the game allows friends to tackle the hordes together. Throughout progress, players can collect coins dropped by defeated enemies to customize their pig character with hats, glasses, necklaces, and pants.
The Bacon May Die game offers a diverse arsenal of weapons to aid players in battling waves of quirky enemies. Melee weapons include meat cleavers, which deal severe damage but have limited reach, and other tools like handsaws and pickaxes, which offer range and power. These close-combat tools require players to get up close to enemies, making timing and movement during combat.
Besides melee and ranged weapons, players can use grenades to deal area-of-effect damage when facing large groups or more challenging opponents. Power-ups and special abilities can be collected during the game, offering temporary advantages such as increased strength, speed, or health regeneration. These boosts add variety and excitement to the gameplay, allowing players to adapt to increasingly challenging waves and stay in the fight longer. After achieving all levels in Bacon May Die, players can join an endless running game like G-Switch 3 with multiple modes, including single-player and multiplayer options.
