"Pixel Pig is a nice casual game that works well for both the five minute break, and the two hour train ride." -- TouchGen

"[Pixel Pig] is a rarity in the App Store as it’s unique and enjoyable. Moving through the pegs to collect special items really reinvents Pachinko. If you’re looking for an alternative to Peggle you’ve come to the right place." -appadvice.com

The Fantastic Misadventures of Pixel Pig (Pig Acrobat) is a peg-popping, fruit-chomping, mud-splatting, gas-blasting, iPad-exclusive adventure for all ages.

➽Launch Pixel Pig into one of forty levels. Slam into as many pegs, gobble as much food, and sail through as many rings as you can before hitting the mud.

➽Blast your way to success! Pixel Pig keeps you in control at all times. Once he has entered the game board, use Pixel Pig's gas reserves to strategically propel him around the game board and defy gravity. Tilt your iPad left or right to control Pixel's fall and bounce off more pegs.

➽Upgrade your pig as you earn rewards. Perform well to earn upgrade points and improve your pig's size, responsiveness, and gas capacity.

➽Pixel Pig is rendered in full 3D and uses the advanced nVIDIA PhysX physics engine to render the pig's gravity-defying adventures.

➽Fantastic original soundtrack. Pixel Pig features a completely original soundtrack of seven songs composed by Josh Rathbun.

➽Outstanding Achievement System: Pixel Pig features support for GameCenter Achievements and Leaderboards. Achievements are incorporated right into the game. The more Achievements you earn - the more you can upgrade your pig!

Pixel Pig is designed specifically for the iPad. The controls and graphics are tailored to look and feel best on the iPad.

A couple of FAQs:
Q: The game crashes immediately on launch! What the heck?!
A: Pixel Pig uses a lot of your iPad's memory. Sometimes the iPad needs a full reset to get back all the memory you've used up with other apps. If that still doesn't help, it's possible you had a bad download, just delete the app and download it again (you will not be charged a second time.) If that *still* doesn't help, you can e-mail me at [email protected].

Q: The screen flips everytime I shake my Pig! How do I fix this?
A: You need to lock the screen to prevent flipping (this flipping is required so that you can play on your iPad in either orientation.) To lock your screen, double-tap the iPad home button. When the menu at the bottom pops up, slide the menu to the left. The icon all the way to the left is the "screen lock" button. This will prevent your screen from turning.

FYI - the next update will offer an alternative to shaking your iPad to get the pig out, in the meantime, remember you can use the gas to free the pig as well.
