About the Game


Hogtie takes you on an award-winning journey as you step into the boots of Ted, a hero of the wild west whose trusty lasso is the key to success. This Sokoban puzzle game challenges you to think like a real wrangler with each level tasking you to round up escaped piggies scattered across different biomes.

Mechanics:


No Pushing in the Desert
These piggies will not be pushed around—they need to be dragged along using your lasso, introducing a new twist to classic Sokoban puzzle mechanics.



Lasso is the Safeword
Your lassos become your lifeline. You'll use it to drag the escaped piggies back to their pen, navigating through treacherous environments. Each level will challenge you with mechanics that put your lasso skills to the test, from avoiding deadly obstacles to strategically maneuvering around environmental hazards.



Every Step Counts
Earn up to three stars per level based on your movement’s efficiency. Whether you aim to solve puzzles with maximum efficiency or prefer a more relaxed approach, you decide the challenge to suit your own playstyle.



Dashing through the… sand?


Prefer a rugged look or a dash of wild west charm? How about a fabulously dashing suit or something that says more… “leather daddy”? Don’t worry, in Hogtie you can customize both Ted and his trusty steed to fit your own personal flair and style.



Dust off your boots, grab your lasso, and prepare to wrangle the wildest puzzles the west has ever seen. Are you ready to tie some hogs?
