## Description

Place hex blocks in the way of the fugitive pig in "Block the Pig," a turn-based puzzle game! The game rules are simple. Tap on an empty cell of the hexagon board to place a block. Before the round starts, close the shortest escape routes on the board with 3 bonus blocks. The pig will then run away from the hex maze. Place a new block after each move the pig makes, until there's no way out! As rounds advance, the hexagon maze becomes sparser and the pig blocking quest trickier.
The number of puzzles in the game is infinite. Beat the top rounds of the other players in the leaderboards!  Unlock achievements and improve your spatial wits for free!

Features:
▶ endless random levels on a hex board
▶ relaxing ambient atmosphere
▶ cute piggy!

## Review summary

Block the Pig is praised for addictive, strategy-focused gameplay with a cute, accessible presentation and solid cross-platform play. However, multiple reviews note major drawbacks: intrusive ads, stability problems on mobile, and a harsh progression penalty that restarts players at level 1 after mistakes. Addressing ads and stability while adjusting progression would greatly improve the overall experience.

### Pros

- Addictive, hours-long fun.
- Strong strategic depth and puzzle-like challenge.
- Cross-platform play (PC and mobile).
- Cute, family-friendly vibe appealing to kids.

### Cons

- Frequent ads and an ad-heavy experience; users request an ad-free option.
- Stability issues: crashes and launch failures on mobile.
- Punitive progression: losing a round resets you to level 1.
