How do you follow a hit game about bacon? Make a sequel about bacon in the human body
Philipp Stollenmayer, creator of the viral hit “Bacon – The Game,” is developing a sequel that shifts the franchise’s concept from flipping bacon onto random objects to exploring bacon within the human body. Released nearly eight years ago, the original “Bacon – The Game” became Stollenmayer’s most-downloaded title after going viral, particularly on TikTok in China. The game built on the success of his earlier physics-based food games—“Pancake – The Game” and “Burger – The Game”—which challenged players to stack virtual foodstuffs.
Stollenmayer has established himself as a prolific mobile game developer with a diverse portfolio including the Apple Design Award-winning “Song of Bloom,” alongside titles like “Verticow,” “Zip Zap,” “see/saw,” “Sticky Terms,” “PBJ The Musical,” and “Supertype.” The sequel represents an evolution of the formula that made the original game successful while adding a new thematic dimension. The announcement hints at creative ambition in following up on a cultural phenomenon, suggesting Stollenmayer is exploring how to expand the bacon-flipping concept in unexpected directions.
