Pig Snout Rampage
Swipe a pig to roundhouse wolves streaming in from both sides — same Iron Snout beat-em-up loop with daily modes.
Wolves attack from left/right lanes; swipe up/down to punch or duck; wolves get faster and bring weirder weapons (chainsaw → lawnmower) each wave; pig eventually falls.
One-thumb: swipe-up to uppercut, swipe-down to duck or ground-pound; hold to charge a haymaker; tap jump button with other thumb optional.
Direct riff on Iron Snout's 'pig vs. wolf hoard' with refreshed seasonal skins (e.g., space-pig, beach-pig) instead of trying to invent new art.
Iron Snout is featured trending on Poki (1.6M likes, 4.6★) and just got a January 2026 update — riding that visibility with a clone is a known one-dev win.
Pig-vs-wolves cartoon beat-em-up is a proven Poki hit (1.6M likes, 4.6★ across ~1.74M votes) and the chainsaw/lawnmower escalation reads well, but it's the same core recipe as the source game rather than a differentiated hook.Iron Snout Poki page confirms 1.6M likes, 4.6★ over 1,742,567 votes; 'wolves come at you with a variety of weapons from knives to chainsaws' is already in the original. ↗

2D lane-based beat-em-up with swipe-up punch / swipe-down duck is a small one-thumb loop over a fixed hitbox set — entirely buildable in a few weeks with free art assets.
Interstitials on death and rewarded revive fit the 'pig eventually falls' loop, but the source audience is used to Poki free play and ad-blocking mobile clones CPM poorly; mid-tier mobile ad unit economics at best.Source is free browser play on Poki — sets user expectation for free, limiting IAP conversion and forcing heavy ad reliance. ↗Official App Store port exists, showing the franchise already owns the mobile pig-fighter ads/value equation. ↗
