## What is Piggy Hero?

- New Epic Runes: six new runes built to break monster hazards
- Tier II Skin Cards: ten exclusive skins on lenticular cards that change as you tilt them
- Monsters Strike Back: bombs, poison flasks, chains... break them with the matching runes
- Guard Seals: clear 4 or more Defense runes to leave a seal that blocks explosions and poison
- Ally Cards: bring piggies as allies, clear runes to charge them, and tap a card for their Ougi

300 years ago, humanity's last hero fell to the Demon King, and the Skomish Isles have been ruled by his army ever since.
Now a brand-new hero has appeared. It isn't human. It's a little piggy.

[Raise a piggy all your own]
- Hatch it from an egg and give it a name
- Feed it, pet it, clean up its poop. It strolls the farm, digs, naps and chases its ball
- Your piggy remembers you: stay away too long and it sulks, come back and it shows you its diary
- Decorate the farm and the pig house with furniture you can drag anywhere

[Rune-matching battles]
- Drag runes on a 5x5 board and line up 3 or more to clear them
- Mix six marks: Attack, Defense, Heal, Boost, Skill and Ultimate
- Collect and upgrade 40+ runes and build your own tactics
- Runes awaken at Lv.5 and send electricity across the board when cleared; Star Cores fire automatically when full
- Monsters make trouble on the board: break bombs, chains and poison flasks with the matching runes
- Clear Ultimate runes to unleash Ultimates like Meteor Shower, Giant Pig Descends and Rainbow Beam
- Bring ally piggies, clear runes to charge them, and tap a card for their Ougi

[Adventure]
- Blossom Plateau Defense: monsters attack in waves while your piggies fight back with all they've got
- Shipwreck: walk down to the bottom of the ship as the water keeps rising, and submerged runes can't be used
- Explore the world map freely and uncover the secret the human hero left behind
- Climb the Endless Tower as high as you can

[Evolution]
- At Lv.10 your piggy evolves, and what it becomes depends on how you raise it
- Ten forms to discover, then six Lv.50 evolutions (Hero, Mecha, Ninja, Angel, Berserker, Summoner), each with an epic Ougi
- Draw piggy shards to collect every piggy, raise their stars and swap your lead piggy anytime

[Apple Watch]
- Your piggy lives on your wrist too: pet it, feed it, or turn the Digital Crown to give it a back scratch
- Walk with your piggy: it picks up coins along the way, and reaching your daily step goal opens a treasure chest
- Mini-games on the watch: Catch Food, Cup Game and Piggy Race
- Breathe with your piggy, get gentle water reminders, and check fullness and mood right on your watch face
- Your watch and iPhone share the same piggy, gold and progress

[And more]
- FoodPig delivery, Gomoku, Food Stack and the card game Snort
- Play with friends nearby over Wi-Fi
- Daily quests and login bonuses
- Play without an internet connection
- "Remove Ads" removes ads and unlocks Auto Match and hosting Wi-Fi rooms
