Pigs for Bucks

You are a farmer in a fenced pen full of runaway pigs. Walk up to a pig, press a button to pick it up, and carry it out through either gate to market. It sells for $100.00, less one cent for every sixtieth of a second since the level began, but never less than $60.00. Sell every pig to finish the level. The money buys the next level's pigs, $60 each and up to seven, and then spare pants at $25 if you like. Bump into the fence or a boulder and you fall and tear your pants, and a pair from the clothesline replaces them. While you carry a pig, another pig running into you knocks you over too. Fall with an empty line and the game is over. Selling the last pig of level 12 retires you rich.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick walks the farmer in eight directions and either button picks up or puts down a pig. On the title, up and down choose and a button starts. In the store, up and down choose how many pants and a button buys.
