Iron Snout

Iron Snout is a 2D fighting game where the player controls a pig character standing in the center of the screen while waves of enemies approach from both sides. The objective is to survive as long as possible by using directional keys to perform attacks, jumps, and counters. Each enemy type has distinct attack patterns and can drop weapons that the player can catch and use. Timing and positioning are essential, as enemies appear quickly and often attack in groups. There is no movement across the screen; the focus remains entirely on reactive combat.

Enemy Variations and Weapon Use

Throughout the game, the player faces an increasing variety of opponents, including wolves wielding melee or ranged weapons. Some enemies throw objects, while others rush in for close combat. The player can intercept these objects or grab dropped weapons to extend their offensive reach. Environmental elements do not change, but the diversity in enemy types forces constant adjustment in reaction and tactic. The game requires memorization of enemy behavior as well as rapid decision-making to block or attack effectively in real time.

Scoring and Replay Incentives

Iron Snout uses a score system based on how many enemies the player defeats before getting hit too many times. There are no stages or narrative sequences; the entire experience centers around surviving the onslaught for as long as possible. Scores can be used as personal benchmarks or compared with others on leaderboards. The short match structure encourages repeated attempts, and each session tests reflexes and pattern recognition. The game does not reward passive play, requiring consistent engagement and precision to achieve high scores.
