Huff 'N' Puff (Post-Jam Version)

[Originally made for the Lv. 99 Game Jam - this is an updated version with some fixes I didn't have time to make in the timeframe of the jam!]

Story:

You've heard the story of the Three Little Pigs... but only what the pigs told you.

Pig City is the bustling capital of the United Pigdom. Soaring skyscrapers dominate the skyline, letting everyone in the streets below know exactly who's in charge... the ultra-wealthy pig elite - most of whom work for OinkCo, which owns most of the city's absurdly expensive real estate.

The pigs at the top have it good. But profits are plateauing. And corporate HQ have their sights set on one particular piece of land that has long evaded their control... Wolf Forest.

Located smack bang in the middle of the city, Wolf Forest has housed a community of wolves since before Pig City even existed. In fact, the city was built up around it... meaning Wolf Forest now occupies the most central - and most valuable - real estate in the whole city.

Offers of increasing absurdity have been offered to the wolves over the years, but for some reason, no amount of money has yet persuaded the wolves to give up their home.

But now, a new mayor is in power - and he's right in OinkCo's pocket. He's drawn up eviction notices for the wolves, and given construction the go-ahead. CEOs all over the city are drooling just thinking of the bonuses for this fiscal year.

...In private, however, the mayor has acknowledged there might be unforeseen obstacles to the development. The wolves typically keep to themselves, but the mayor knows they won't take this lying down...

The city authorities have notified the mayor of the formation of a new faction within the wolves, the Three Puffs Collective. Despite the entirely legal nature of the eviction, this group has vowed to obstruct the forced eviction by any means necessary...

The mayor has a bad feeling about this.

Gameplay:

Defend Wolf Forest from the pig developers!

Pigs will spawn in waves - builder pigs will walk to a chosen spot and build a house if you let them.

Houses start off as straw houses, but once a house is built, civilian pigs will spawn and walk to the house to move in. Once a certain number of pigs moves into a house, it will upgrade to a wood or brick house, requiring longer puffs to destroy.

If you release LMB at the right time, you can do a Perfect Breath, which will last longer than the usual maximum and requires less charge time. A tambourine sound and star effect will happen when you get the timing right!

(TIP: try releasing as the wolf's head reaches its maximum size, and the last air particles have reached its mouth!)

Your run ends when the number of intact pig houses reaches the number displayed on the game screen.
