Pig Curling Review (iOS)

Posted by Amy Shortz Baldry, 71 days ago

It’s time to get your aim steady and monitor your strength as you use everyone’s favourite farm animals to earn yourself points and achievements in this flinging fun game of pig curling. With 4 different stages with different floors ice, wood, marble and cement you need to fling your pig curling instructionspigs to the targets the more pigs on the target the higher your points.Unlike most curling games where points matter the amount of pigs you have on the target determines whether or not you progress on to the next level of the stage each stage containing 10 levels that need to be completed before the next stage is available to you.

It’s not as simple as just flinging your pig down the curling alley and hoping for the best there are obstacles such as rubber bands to bounce off, wood boards and holes in the ice that need to be manoeuvred or used to your advantage to get your pigs onto the target. Aswell as just your standard pig some pigs have special abilities and come in different shapes and sizes smaller ones being lighter and quicker bigger ones being heavier and needing more flinging effort to get them to the target even a pee pig that will leave a pool of pee to slow other pigs down and help you avoid those dark pit holes.

The music has a slight cabaret feeling to it bad cabaret that is and can get really annoying very quickly thankfully the music does not spread over into the actual game play and you are just left with the squeals of your pigs as you fling them around the alley. Animations are very well drawn and the detail even spreads to your pigs becoming bruised as they bounce of walls and obstacles on their way down to the target.

Even though this game is very fun and has some great concepts with the varying kinds of pigs and obstacles it can also become frustrating as hell making it slightly unplayable at times due to the fact that you just want to get on with playing other levels and not get stuck on the same one like I often have been playing it, some may see this as a good challenge even I enjoy and revel a decent challenge but on this occasion it just ended up turning in to one very big annoyance, this being the only problem I found with the game.

 Our Rating for Pig Curling Review (iOS)
7.5
Overall
An amusing addition to your library, it will have you wanting to play more to unlock new levels and pigs but could leave you slightly aggravated if you can�t get those pesky pigs to hit the mark!
