Piggy Woogy – iOS App Review

The gist of this app is to get rid of the bad guys, in this case wolves and let the good guys, Piggy and Porky live a quiet life in their fairytale castle. Well, what that conjures up in your mind may actually be quite different to the game in hand. Nonetheless it’s quite exciting. To some extent this is a jewel matching game and we’ve all seen a lot of those but in other respects this one has a few unique factors up it’s sleeve.

There’s a decent tutorial with this app to make sure you maximize your enjoyment and within the tutorial itself you can learn about the radical strategic aspects of this game.

Basically, you’ve got wolves continuously climbing up the columns intent on reaching and eating your friendly female pig, Pinny. The male of the pair, Piggy, is determined to save her and fights back by dropping blocks to stop the wolves climbing up the castle. In his armory, Piggy can utilize oil, causing the wolves to slide down to the bottom of the castle. Piggy can also unleash ice to freeze the wolves in place for a short amount of time. Or, if all else fails Piggy has the shuffle icon which moves all the blocks around and causes all the wolves on the wall to vanish. Although, the wolves that do vanish do not count towards the score or catch count, in this instance.

You can speed up the recharge of the oil, ice and refresh icons faster by clearing more blocks.

There are five types of wolf or Woogy as they like to be known. There’s the standard Woogy, he’s quite easy to catch by causing the blocks in any column the wolf is on to shift.

Then there’s the Balloon Woogy, he uses a balloon while falling to climb up again.

Thirdly there’s Rocket Woogy, he uses a rocket to jump up to four blocks high from the ground.

Fourthly, there’s Power Woogy, to catch this wolf you have to clear the blocks the Power Woogy is holding.

Finally, theres Balloon Power Woogy, he is the same as Power Woogy but is equipped with a balloon to climb back up.

Apart from the oil, ice and refresh special functions that we have already mentioned there are also additional functions that will help you get rid of those pesky Wolves. You can make ‘magic’ by matching specific blocks, such as bombs.

This app has Game Center functionality too so you can see how others are doing.

Well, this game is not going to necessarily increase your grey matter but saying that it is very addictive and good fun. For kids it’s something they would enjoy and we can see this app becoming very popular. Why not give it a try for yourself, and don’t forget to let us know what you think afterwards.
