When Pigs Fly 🐷

A browser game where you play a flying pig. Dodge spikes, flying frying pans and farmers with pitchforks, and reach the big mud pile where the other pigs are waiting. Get hit and you turn into bacon.

On phones the game goes full screen and locks to landscape when you start a level (Android/Chrome). iPhone browsers don't allow web pages to go full screen, so on iPhone the full screen button explains how to use Share → Add to Home Screen and launch it from there (it then opens full screen, like an app).

Snout Island

Continue on the title screen jumps straight into your next unplayed level. Snout Island opens the island, which is shaped like a pig's face: tap an area to zoom in and see its levels as big cards, then tap a level to play. Clearing a level opens the next one. An area opens once you've cleared the area before it and found two thirds of that area's golden eggs (12 of 18). Locked areas show a lock, a golden egg and how many eggs they need (with your progress) on their island label, and each area screen shows what its eggs unlock next. The arrows on the sides of an area screen (or ←/→) jump straight to the area before or after it, if it's open. Once an area is open it stays open.

Each area is a set of about 6 levels with its own theme, so new areas can be added one at a time.

Hamlet Farms

1. Muddy Meadow: daytime warm-up
2. Barnyard Bash: sunset, faster farmers and more pans
3. Midnight Pork Panic: night, jumping farmers and zigzag towers
4. Hogwash Downpour: thunderstorm, introduces swinging meat cleavers
5. Frost-Bitten Bacon: snow, cleaver gauntlets and long tunnels
6. The Grand Hamyon: canyon finale, everything at once

Bacon Bay

The first area where boost matters. Watch for the "HOLD SHIFT / HOLD ⚡" sign.

• 🦀 Giant crabs sit half buried in the sand, claw raised at you. Every crab has the same tell: when it spots you it shimmies four times (clack, clack, clack, clack), digging itself up a little each time, then rears up on the next beat with its claw towering to the top of the screen. Boost over it before then.
• 🌊 Tidal waves chase you along the beach a little faster than normal speed. Boost to stay ahead. You hear it roll in, its roar grows as it gains on you, and it crashes when it's right on your tail.
• 🥥 Coconuts drop on a loop from tall palm trees. Every drop has the same tell: the nut rocks three times (tock, tock, tock), cracks loose and falls.
• Also: stinging anemones, sandcastles (always the same size), piers and very rude seagulls.
• Its own music: Bacon Bay and Coconut Cannonballs play on its level cards and in its levels.
• Its mud spa is a beach spa: surfboard sign, tiki torches, a palm, a beach umbrella and pigs lounging in rubber rings.

1. Sun-Burnt Bacon: meet the beach, then your first giant crab
2. Pinch Me, I'm Bacon: giant crabs, including back-to-back ones
3. Coconut Cannonball (sunset): coconut barrages
4. Low Tide, High Swine: your first two tidal waves
5. Shell-fish Behavior (sunset): a bit of everything
6. The Big Kahuna (moonlit): long tidal waves with giant crabs inside them

Pork-topia 2099

A neon city with three planes: the skytops above the rooftops, the street, and the grimy undercity under it. The first three levels teach one plane each; from level 4 they're all open and joined by holes in the road (each with an ENTRANCE gate), glass sky decks you can fly up through, and tunnels through the towers.

• 🏍️ Corpo Pig Enforcer chases you on a hoverbike along the street: boost away, or leave the street. Later he's back in a hovercar that follows you anywhere, so only boost loses him.
• 🤖 Drones and gunships guard the skytops. Drones flash and charge; gunships line up a sight line, blink, then fire a laser straight ahead.
• 🚇 The metro roars along the undercity tracks: a horn and a headlight glow warn you first.
• 🪧 Billboards in the sky (Sky Living hangs from the very top), rails you can grind for a boost, and every plane slopes gently into the neon mud spa, which sits where the next level starts (level 1 ends down in the undercity, level 2 up on a sky pad).
• Its own music: Porktopia 2099, Never Touch the Ground and Stay Up.

1. Neon Arrival: street only, with tower tunnels and your first Enforcer chase
2. Underbelly: undercity only, with hanging buildings and the metro
3. Skytops: above the smog, with drones, gunships and billboards
4. Three-Way Junction: all three planes open, gently
5. Rush Hour: busier, with the hovercar chase
6. Pork-topia Prime: the finale, everything at once
