About the Game

Prickle is a grid-based, Sokoban-style puzzle game with a laid-back, wholesome vibe.

Your hoglets, scattered throughout the levels, stick to DadHog and to each other, forming a Tetris-like shape - a Prickle!

You need to collect all the hoglets and bring the Prickle back home. However, the more hoglets you collect, the larger and harder it is to squeeze through the narrow spaces in the hedge.

Find the right way to collect the hoglets, form your Prickle, and navigate it through the levels to reach home.

Prickle features over 40 levels across 4 seasons, each presenting different challenges and unique mechanics.
