Piggy Pile is a new endless runner for the iOS and Android platforms by Crazy Labs LLC where you stack pigs on top of each other and run them as far as you can. You can collect coins, unlock entirely new pigs to run with, and compete against other players globally to see who can get the farthest. Read on for some tips and tricks for Piggy Pile!
The main way to control the game is to use the left and right side of the screen. Tap and/or hold the left side to make your stack move left, and tap or hold the right side to make your pigs move to the right. If you’re more used to drag-style controls, though, where you drag your character in one direction or the other, then you can go to the settings menu and change the control method to drag instead of L/R.
Your goal is to stack ’em high and run as far as you can. Take all the stairs that you can reach because if you crash into a ledge, you lose a pig, but if you run up the stairs, you don’t lose anything. Collect bubbles to stack three of them at a time under you on a temporary basis, for extra protection against falling or crashing. Collect shovels to fill in holes and collect clocks to slow down time temporarily.
It can often be easy to accidentally fall off the side of a level if you miss a quick twist or turn. If you fall off the side, you lose all of your stack, but it takes time for them all to fall, so quickly correct your direction and head back to land. You may lose a bunch of pigs, but your run will still be alive, and you can collect more pigs to grow your stack again.
When you earn coins, you can buy entirely new landscapes, complete with their own set of characters aside from pigs. Collect them when you see them in the rounds, and when they won’t jeopardize your survival. Landscapes cost anywhere between 100 and 5,000 coins, and will change the entire appearance of both the game and your characters, although generally, gameplay will be the same.
Oftentimes, a new level will have a special perk of its own that separates it from other levels. For example, in the Save The King world, you’ll pass by clouds that have treasure chests on top of them. If you are tall enough that your characters can reach into the clouds, then you’ll be able to collect the chest, which is worth a significant number of coins, enabling you to buy other landscapes far more quickly.
