Hog and Crow
Hog and Crow drops you into a series of cleverly confined spaces where the ground shifts and obstacles move. As the crow, your goal is to swoop in, collect every glinting bauble, and then make a clean getaway to the exit. But the hog isn't just standing around—it patrols a fixed route, and your path often crosses its territory. The trick is to time your movements and use the environment, like rocks and logs, to create openings or block the hog's charge. Each level introduces a new twist on the core idea, from moving platforms to switches that alter paths. The visual style is warm and storybook-like, but the logic underneath is sharp. You'll need to think two or three steps ahead, because one wrong move can send you back to the start. It's a gentle challenge that grows more satisfying as you figure out the hog's rhythm and find your own way through.

What is Hog and Crow
Guide a sharp-witted crow through a series of cunning puzzles. Grab the shiny treasures, dodge the stubborn hog, and find your way out.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move the crow one tile at a time. Plan each step to avoid the hog's patrol path and collect all items before reaching the exit.
Tips for Playing
- Watch the hog's pattern before you move—patience beats speed.
- Use objects like rocks to block the hog's movement temporarily.
- Collect items in the order that creates the safest route.
- If you're stuck, try moving the hog with a fake-out step, then circle back.
- Memorize the exit location early so you can plan your escape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the hog catches the crow?
The level resets, and you have to start over from the beginning. But you can retry as many times as you need.
Can the crow fly over the hog?
No, the crow moves on the ground, and the hog blocks your path. You'll need to outmaneuver it, not fly over it.
Are there any power-ups in the game?
No power-ups, but some levels have movable objects like rocks that you can push to change the layout.
How many levels are there?
The game includes a set of progressively harder levels, each introducing new mechanics, but the exact count varies.
Is the game turn-based or real-time?
It's turn-based—you move one step, then the hog moves. This gives you time to think carefully.
Can I skip a level if it's too hard?
Typically, you must solve each level to advance, but you can always replay earlier ones to practice.
