Exploding Piggies
Read full descriptionHide full description
Exploding Piggies is a fast, one-touch arcade game about controlled chaos. Pop pigs, build streaks and trigger explosive chain reactions before 20 misses end your run. Easy to start. Hard to master. Completely ad-free. CHAIN THE CHAOS Pop nuclear pigs to blast nearby targets, unleash ultra strikes and turn a single tap into a screen-clearing combo. BATTLE FOUR BOSSES Take on the Hog-Ship, Steam Balloon, Cyber Hog and Fortress. Each encounter changes the rules with armor, weak spots, escorts, split phases and a ticking clock. LEARN EVERY PIG Some pigs need multiple taps. Others unleash nuclear blasts or electrical bursts. Choose the right target before the board overwhelms you. MAKE IT YOURS Give your piggies custom names, add your own cropped photo and discover or unlock 14 playful skins—from Ninja and Cyber Neon to Celestial Monarch. POWER UP YOUR RUN Spend earned rubies on Nuclear Strikes, Ultra Nuclear Strikes and Refills when a run is on the line. COMPETE AND COMPLETE Climb the global Game Center leaderboard, unlock 50 achievements and chase goals for scores, streaks, flawless runs, bosses, special pigs and more. SYNC YOUR PROGRESS Keep high scores, rubies, unlocked skins, power-ups and challenge progress in sync with iCloud. WATCH THE WORLD REACT The sky shifts from bright days to sunsets, eclipses and deep night while expressive sky mascots celebrate your streaks—and panic when pigs slip past. SEE HOW YOU DID Every game-over summary shows your score, level, pigs popped, special-pig counters and best streak. No ads. Just piggies.
