Pigs on Head

About

Pigs on Head is a quirky arcade game where you juggle falling pigs on a character’s head before transferring them to two others on ladders. The goal is to keep the pile from overflowing by timing catches and deliveries. Mode A lets you control all three characters simultaneously while Mode B restricts you to just Pageboy, forcing you to adapt to the automated movements of Hank and Frank. Scoring increases with the ladder rung where pigs are dropped, adding a layer of strategy to the chaos. The game’s charm lies in its absurd premise and tight controls. Despite its 2004 release, the loop of pig-stacking and ladder-juggling remains refreshingly straightforward. With a single-player focus and no frills, it’s a blast from the indie past that still works as a quick pick-up-and-play challenge. Some retro fans on forums mention its cult status, though it’s best known for being… exactly what the title promises.

Storyline

GAME A - Help PAGEBOY catch the falling pigs! Before they stack up too high, take them over to HANK or FRANK on the ladders to unload them. You control all 3 characters in this mode. GAME B - You only control PAGEBOY in this mode. Catch pigs and unload them on HANK or FRANK ...if they're around!
