Hamkuff, also known as Pig Cop[1], is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Hamkuff is simply a chubby pig wearing a police officer hat and carrying some handcuffs. It also has larger and rounder eyes unlike the rest of the Pig City's inhabitants.

Behaviour

Hamkuff stands in place. If the player comes too close to it, it will cuff the player with a rope made of sausages. The only way to break free from this rope is to build up speed to Mach 2 and rebound back into it, defeating the enemy.

When playing as Gustavo and Brick, Hamkuff will instead capture Brick, meaning the only way to regain control of Brick would be to defeat it as lone Gustavo. If Gustavo touches the Hamkuff while Brick is captured by it without attacking it, he will be hurt.

Trivia

  • In the original PT_Eggplantv15, Hamkuff did not recover combo meter, but still counted towards it.
  • In the Rework build, Hamkuff uses Cheeseslime's sprite, likely as a placeholder. The sausages are also not animated and do not have shading.
    • Hamkuff's behavior is also slightly different in the Rework build - the player has to keep running against it instead of rebounding.
  • There used to be a glitch which caused taunting as Gustavo while Brick is captured to instantly return Brick to the player. This was fixed by making it impossible to taunt as lone Gustavo.

  1. Then, we added a pig theme on top of it with the Pig Cops because, well, it’s a city, and a city has cops. - Sertif, https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/how-speedy-implementation-high-paced-platformer-pizza-tower#close-modal
