The Third Piglet's Tower

The game *The Third Piglet’s Tower*—a fairy tale familiar from childhood about the three little pigs—takes a completely unexpected turn here: instead of simply building a sturdy stone house, the piglets have set their sights on something far more ambitious—a tower that must reach all the way to the sky. One piglet alone can’t handle such a task, so the whole crew pitches in: one piglet quarries stone, another fires bricks from it, a third operates the crane, someone fells trees, and in the later stages, the team even embarks on space expeditions to gather resources. Essentially, this is an economic strategy game with elements of a city-building simulator, where success depends not so much on how fast you click as on how wisely you manage your economy.

How do you play?

The tower consists of thirty floors, and each new one introduces something fresh to the gameplay. It all starts with harvesting resources—stone and wood—which are then processed into planks and bricks, and lifted by a crane to the upper floors to continue construction. To start production, you first need to harvest stone and transport it to where bricks are made from it, and so on, building an entire production chain. Upgrades are available for each station to speed up the piglets’ work: if the miners can’t keep up with the pace of construction, you can boost their efficiency; if a line has built up at the sawmill, you can add another station; and if the crane is idle, you can build additional parts for it. You can sell excess materials for coins and invest the proceeds in further developing your base. As you play, it’s a good idea to hire new workers: for stone mining, for transporting goods, and for logging. Auto-click is sometimes available on the main building, but it only works on one production line at a time. If something goes wrong, you can always press the restart button—the game will start over, but this time with some starting bonuses. Help the piglets make their dream come true and build their tower all the way up to the clouds.
