Medieval Pig Puzzle Adventure

Piggy48 brings a playful medieval theme to the familiar sliding-puzzle formula. Move colorful pig characters around the board, combine eligible pieces to unlock new piggies, and carefully manage the remaining space as you work toward creating the King piggy.

Developed by 7am Games!, Piggy48 is a puzzle game inspired by 2048 and Threes. Numbered tiles are replaced by illustrated medieval characters, including farmers, soldiers, archers, thieves, and other members of a whimsical pig kingdom. Each successful combination introduces a new piggy with a different appearance and rank. The ultimate objective is to complete the progression by creating the King piggy, which ends the game successfully.

Piggy48: Merge Beyond the Limits

Slide, Combine, and Build the Kingdom

Piggy48 takes place on a compact grid where every directional move affects the entire board. Slide the piggies up, down, left, or right to bring suitable pieces together and create more advanced characters.

New pieces gradually reduce the available room, so every move matters. Combining nearby piggies may provide an immediate upgrade, but it can also change the position of every other piece. Planning ahead helps you maintain useful lanes and avoid filling the board too quickly.

Hatless pigs add another layer to the puzzle. If a pig appears without a hat, you must give it one before continuing its progression. This rule makes positioning especially important because both the pig and the required hat must be arranged correctly.

A Colorful Medieval Theme

The hand-drawn artwork gives each stage of progression a recognizable identity. Costumes, weapons, helmets, and tools help distinguish one piggy from another, while the grassy setting, butterflies, castle details, and humorous animations create a cheerful storybook atmosphere.

These visual differences are also useful during play. Instead of tracking numbers, you can follow the upgrade sequence by observing each character’s clothing and equipment.

Controls

  • Arrow keys: Slide all piggies up, down, left, or right.
