From The Artist Behind Trenches Comes Super Turbo Action Pig

There aren't exactly a lot of original casual game concepts left to utilize, so indie developers have to put as much character and polish into their games as possible to get them to stand out, and the two guys behind newly formed Joystick Generals, Michael Heald (artist behind Trenches) and Christopher Wilson, have definitely done that with Super Turbo Action Pig. The game is an casual endurance affair where you pilot a jetpack strapped pig named Super Turbo Action Pig as you attempt to evade the evil Butcher Bill who is dead set on turning you into sausage. Super Turbo Action Pig features fantastic looking 2D cartoon graphics and animations, which goes well with the game's tight controls.  To pilot Super Turbo Action Pig you simply tap the thruster button located in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.  Objects such as knives, saw blades, and rockets are constantly littering the screen, and you will have to dodge them by flying up and down.  Each object that you are able dodge awards you with a single point.  Get hit by any flying object and the game is over. The game also features multiple skills levels, and online leaderboards and achievements via OpenFeint to compare your scores with friends. Joystick Generals intends to make Super Turbo Action Pig's journey last a little longer via future updates that should include a campaign mode, new challenges, and new visual additions, which makes that $.99 price look not too shabby. Super Turbo Action Pig's gameplay trailer oozes just as much character as the game, so you just have to check it out below.
