Meet Piggy.

Piggy is a bank. But not just some ordinary bank, no! Piggy is nothing less than a master-crafted ceramic piggy bank, one of its kind. State-of-the-art, really.

As all piggy banks, Piggy is drawn to coins – it has an insatiable desire for collecting all the coins his small universe can offer. But there's a danger lurking nearby – the Collector, a hammer-wielding entity with the same goal as the Piggy. And the Collector won't hesitate to bang the Piggy to get all its coins!

But Piggy is not about to give up its savings.

So it starts running.

Piggy the Bank is a game inspired by the endless runners and life itself. You are controlling a piggy bank called Piggy that is on the run from the fearful Collector – if you get hit by Collector's hammer, the game ends. Your goal is to manage the intake of coins for as long as you can in two aspects.

– More COINS mean more weight and thus slower SPEED. Eventually, you might be just standing on the spot waiting to be bashed. Don't forget to release coins in the time of need!

– Manage your coins MULTIplier. It will multiply the number of coins that you currently have with the duration for which you will be able to hold them. Whenever there is a change in the number of coins you have, you'll SCORE the multiplier (add the value to your total) and the multiplier resets.
