Truffle Hogs – Strategy Game Review
Truffle Hogs is a Strategy game from Magic Circle Studio, Inc., first launched in 1st August 2021.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 411+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Truffle Hogs Stand Out
It’s exactly like the experience of being a pig in real life, except completely different.
BE PIGS. WEAR HATS. WITH 8 FRIENDS AT ONCE.
Ever wanted to be a purple pig and wear a mushroom hat? Now you can! Choose your pig’s color and hat, and unlock more hats as you play.
IT’S LOWKEY COMPETITIVE
Truffle Hogs is silly, colorful, and fun… but it's also competitive! The game itself is a fast-paced strategy game where you’ll run around searching for buried truffles, stealing truffles found by other players, defending your own truffles, and grabbing some crazy powerups.
DECORATE YOUR TREEHOUSE
When you play the game with others, you’ll invite them over to your treehouse. So, why not make your treehouse look absolutely sweet? There are thousands of combinations of roofs, floors, walls, and more. Want a super edgy all-black goth house? Or a pretty pink house with a hearts and rainbow floor? The only limit is your imagination (and me adding more decoration options into the game).
100% INDIE
Truffle Hogs is being made by one person (my name is Avi, hi!), with additional art and music produced by a few of his friends. The game is currently free-to-play, with no in-app purchases, and is only supported by optional ads that do not affect the game competitively. There are no lootboxes or other icky gambling mechanics here!
COLOR BLIND ACCESSIBLE
Truffle Hogs relies on colors to distinguish between teams, but you can turn on color-blind mode to use patterns as well as colors to distinguish between teams. It also just looks cool, so you might want to turn it on even if you’re not color-blind!
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 28th January 2022
Recent improvements include:
Bots are here! When you host a game, go to the Options checkboard in your treehouse to add bots. This is a great way to play solo or with friends, as you can add as many (or as few) bots as you want. This version also includes some bug fixes:
- fixed glitch with bots & tutorial
- improved performance, especially on older devices
- fixed an issue where your pig would collide with the bottom of the map incorrectly
- fixed an issue where graphics would look weird when iOS was set to "Light Appearance"
- fixed an issue where the pig nametag would randomly show up in the hat picker screen

Community Insight:
So, yeah. Glad this got on our recommendations list, we have some ideas: First, change it to christmas! Maybe you can turn the truffles into presents. While youre at it, you can also allow someone to gift you coins or gems! It would show their name and color. If they changed it, the picture would also be changed!!! So would the name. ;) You could also send a message. You would have to censor some words. People could, um, lets just say be VERY inappropriate on there. If it somehow did not censo the message, you could reply to it and say we like the gift, but dont use that message. This could be one of many options for replying, another could be: Wow, we really like your gift! Thanks! Or something like that. We want to keep our community friendly, not evil, to say the least! -Notice Us.
Ive been following the dev on tiktok for a while now, and Im so glad to see the full game turn out as well as it did! Good job to anyone and everyone who worked on this game! Im proof you.
Us and our brother were playing this game and it was so fun it might look a little weird but its fun when you try it and if you have a lot of points like 100 points you could get a hat but one of our favorite hats is The Crown it might be expensive but its going to our favorite hats but we never bought it.
We have been summoned bc of tiktok we are here to see is this app good what we have saw is a 10/10 lets play the game to see tho.
We love this game, its really fun and our friends love it too :)).
We have nothing to say of how amazing it was.
We got this game pre order so we did have to wait it is such a good game go follow there tik tok it is good and just play this game u will get it in like 2 seconds.
We love this game! The only thing is that ever since the update, if the host leaves before the game starts and the host spot goes to the next person, they are not able to start. We dont know if its like that for everyone but that has been our experience since the update. Other than that we love the game and it is super fun.
Download this game its really cool to see how much it has grown since the beginning.
This game is super fun and we like to play with our friends a lot Im just sad that not a lot of people play this, this is super duper fun.

We saw it on TikTok and Ive been waiting so long finally it came out amazing game.
Ive been waiting for this game for a while and its so addicting.
This game is great and we enjoy playing it! The only thing is ive tried to join our friends lobbys and it always says the code is wrong. We always double check we are typing it in right. It might just be a glitch.
Hi, we love truffle hogs so much we been playing all day but…… Theres a bug we noticed when we were playing with our cousin in a 1v1 we tried to get a truffle but then our buttons werent working, our acorn cannons our walls and even if we tried to get the purple mystery bag or whatever it wouldnt let us get it we dont know if anyone else is experiencing it but its been happening to us.
Hiii we love playing truffle hogs.
Amazing game great fun but we think it will need some new game modes in the future.
We love it, it has such cute little pig avatars.
If you are too lazy to read our review (because we know we dont read long ones) a sum up is that this is a really fun game and you SHOULD play it. On to the real reviewSo we saw no one made a review and we have to say we were so exited and when we saw that this came out. We had it preordered and screamed and told our friends right when we saw it. We are so happy that it is out and we remember watching you create it. The game is not super hard so kids can play it too but it is challenging because people can take your truffles and if you play with people that are good at the game it will be hard but you can play with friends too which will make it very fun. Over all great game.
So cute!! You get to wear hats and stuff :D the guy who made this entire game is also super cool.
Ive watched this game getting developed on Tik tok for a while. So happy Im finally able to play it. Awesome game.
