About Hot Pig Jump!
Hot Pig Jump! is a 3D platformer from DekkaRuby Games that drops you into the hooves of a pig racing to the top of a vertical stage filled with deadly flamethrowers. Released on September 16 2025 it’s a single-player sprint against time and fire. The goal is simple: jump dodge and leap over hazards while avoiding full-on burns which instantly kill your progress. The minimalist design and relentless difficulty make it a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. It’s the kind of game that’ll have you retrying the same 30-second section endlessly but also laughing at your own failures.
Gameplay
The core loop is all about precise jumps and timing. You control a pig that bounces awkwardly at first but becomes more predictable with practice. Each level is a vertical gauntlet of fire pits floating platforms and sudden bursts of flame. You’ll spam the jump button to chain mid-air hops while weaving around hazards. The only real mechanic is movement but the challenge comes from spacing and speed. If your pig touches three flames in quick succession it’s game over. There are no checkpoints only a high score tracker and a limited number of retries per session. The controls are responsive but the physics feel slightly floaty which adds to the frustration, and charm.
What Players Think
Player ratings sit at 84% with an average playtime of 2.5 hours. Completion rate for all levels is 68% while achievement completion clocks in at 45% (20 total achievements). Community moods are split: 70% say it’s “addictively punishing” while 30% call it “needlessly cruel.” Critic reviews praise its simplicity but note it lacks depth. One user wrote “I died 47 times in level 5 but kept coming back.” Another griped “It’s just jumping and dying why charge $19.99?” The game’s peak popularity is 11th on the platformer charts but retention drops sharply after the first hour.
PlayPile's Take
Hot Pig Jump! is a short but intense pick-up-and-play experience. It’s best for those who enjoy punishing platformers like Celeste or Spelunky but with less variety. At $19.99 it’s a risk if you hate permadeath but the 20 achievements and replay value might justify the price. Skip it if you’re looking for story or innovation. For pure arcade-style frustration and high scores this is a decent $20 stress test.
