Pig Eat Ball

Overall, Pig Eat Ball is solid fun. With tweaks to the multiplayer, it could be a fantastic party game too.

Princess Bow has her work cut out for her.

While boring at times, Pig Eat Ball is a fun puzzle game that manages to bring the players in with its basic mechanics and interesting world and characters.

I enjoyed Pig Eat Ball much more than I thought I would and I'll gladly go back to it whenever I want some frantic arcade fun.

When a game comes along that has classic arcade-style sensibilities and it is just plain weird it is pretty well sure to get my attention...

Pig Eat Ball is a unique proposition in modern gaming – a classic-feeling arcade game with a completely original mechanic at its core. The puzzles, characters and world built around this mechanic are delightful, despite giving a first impression of being a little gross. Arcade and puzzle fans will find a lot to love here. Pig Eat Ball is utterly unique.

The adventure mode is the true winner here, as the unbridled mayhem keeps up a solid pace, only really faltering in the back half as it gets just a tiny bit long in the tooth. Pig Eat Ball is a ridiculous and preposterous game that is thoroughly unique, even if it often wears its arcade inspirations on its sleeves. That all being said, it's a delightfully quirky experience that calls to mind throwback game concepts in a post-modern way.

Pig Eat Ball is easily one of the best games I've played this year.
