Controls, Platforms & Save Transfer

Start the correct build with the correct input method and no assumptions about demo progress carrying over.

Table of contents

Choose the build first

The paid release is available on Steam for Windows and macOS. A free demo and a browser version also exist, but they should not be treated as the same build or the same save path.

Mouse input

The developer describes moving or hovering the hammer over piggies so it swings, while the browser distributor describes moving the hammer with the left mouse button. Follow the prompt displayed by the build you are playing. The common task is positioning the hammer over the target, not rapid button mashing.

Full game, demo and browser

  • Paid release: the current full game on Steam.
  • Steam demo: a free way to learn the core loop.
  • Browser version: a desktop browser option for a quick session.

The developer states that demo saves do not transfer to the full game because prestige, bankruptcy, upgrade nodes and balance differ. Do not spend time on a demo route expecting that exact progress to appear in the paid release.

Minimum requirements shown for the release

The store lists Windows 10 64-bit or macOS 12 Monterey as minimum operating systems, 2 GB RAM and 2 GB storage. The detailed processor and graphics requirements differ by operating system, so check the current store panel before buying for older hardware.
