How a round unfolds

You play a pig holding off waves of wolves. The four arrow keys cover everything: jumping, hitting and dodging.

The wolves bring knives, chainsaws and other weapons. Hit them before they reach you, dodge their attacks, and avoid getting eaten.

The wolves come faster over time, so a round is a steady climb in speed until one gets through.

Tricks from the first rounds

  • Keep your fingers resting on all four arrow keys; there is no time to look down.

  • Watch the next wolf before pressing anything; a wasted hit leaves you open.

  • Dodging is often safer than a hit when a wolf carries a long weapon.

  • Expect the pace to rise; short rounds early on are normal.

Right for you if

Players who like quick reflex games and one more try after every loss.

The less shiny side

– Rounds can end in seconds, especially at first.

– Weapons like chainsaws may not suit every younger player.

– Poki shows ads around its games, so expect one before or between rounds.
