Hamkuff

The Hamkuff, also known as the Pig Cop, is an enemy in Pizza Tower, first debuting in The Pig City.

Description

Hamkuffs are chubby pigs wearing a police officer's hat and carrying handcuffs. They also have larger and rounder eyes, unlike the rest of the Pig City's inhabitants.

Behaviour

Hamkuffs stand in place, and their behavior changes depending on what character interacts with it.

When playing as Peppino: getting too close to Hamkuff will cuff Peppino with a rope made of sausages. The only way to break free from this rope is to build up speed to Mach 3 and rebound back into it, defeating the enemy. The player can also use supertaunt on it but this cannot be done when getting cuffed by it.

When playing as Gustavo and Brick: Hamkuff will capture Brick, meaning the only way to regain control of Brick would be to defeat it as lone Gustavo. The Hamkuff can deal contact damage while it has Brick, meaning Gustavo must attack it.

When playing as The Noise: Hamkuffs will cuff the player when approached, but this does not affect the Noise's movement in any way. Instead, it turns the Hamkuff into a swinging ball-and-chain that revolves around the Noise from left to right, and can defeat enemies and even break Metal Blocks. After a few seconds, the Hamkuff will be released and sent flying in a random direction, destroying everything in its path.
