The tigers came. They took everything. Your coins. Your village. Your future. Now it's time to fight back. Grab your weapon, face endless waves of greedy tigers, and reclaim every coin they stole. Every enemy you defeat drops loot โ€” collect it all and use it to rebuild your village from the ground up. HOW TO PLAY: Move your pig with the left joystick. Aim with the right โ€” your weapon fires automatically. Survive as long as you can while tiger waves grow faster, stronger and more relentless with every passing second. RECLAIM YOUR FORTUNE: Tigers drop coins when defeated. Pick them up before they disappear. Every coin is saved to your account. REBUILD YOUR VILLAGE: Between runs, spend your coins to buy houses and restore your village. Each house you rebuild is a victory against the system that took everything from you. How far can you rebuild? SURVIVE THE WAVES: Three hits and your pig goes down. But power-ups spawn across the battlefield โ€” extra lives and shields appear when you need them most. The longer you last, the harder it gets. How long can you hold out? COMPETE GLOBALLY: Challenge players worldwide on Game Center. Who rebuilt the most? The leaderboard is global and always live. FEATURES: - Endless survivor gameplay โ€” infinitely replayable - Permanent progression โ€” your village and coins never reset - Global leaderboard via Game Center - Power-ups: extra lives and shields - Escalating difficulty โ€” every run is a new challenge - Dual joystick controls built for mobile - Fully playable offline
