About Flying Pigs
Flying Pigs takes a single absurd image - pigs, airborne, entirely unbothered - and builds a whole game around it. The backdrop is open sky, the clouds are drawn like a children's book, and the animation is loose and bouncy throughout.
It sits alongside Crazy Cows as the library's comic relief, but the sky setting gives it a lighter, airier feel. The palette is dominated by blues and soft whites, so it reads as much calmer than its premise suggests - a good pick when you want something cheerful without the visual intensity of a brighter title.
Sessions here are naturally short and self-contained. Nothing about the design pressures you to keep going, which is very much how we prefer it.
What to expect
- A soft, airy palette that is easy on the eyes over a longer sitting
- Loose, characterful animation with a genuine sense of humour
- Simple mechanics that need no explanation before you begin
- Naturally short sessions that end at a sensible point
Playing it well
Pairs well with a short break. It is designed to be picked up and put down rather than settled into.
