Keep Moving
Stay mobile and position yourself where you can avoid incoming pigs while having clear shots.
Shoot Early
Don’t wait until pigs are close. Shoot them as soon as they spawn for maximum safety.
Watch the Pattern
Pigs spawn randomly but consistently every 0.5 seconds. Anticipate where they’ll appear.
Mind the Cooldown
Remember the 0.3-second cooldown between shots. Don’t miss, or you’ll be vulnerable!
The game gets progressively harder as more pigs accumulate on screen. Clear them quickly to maintain control!
