In Iron Snout, you play as a martial-arts pig defending yourself against endless waves of wolves armed with everything from cleavers and chainsaws to rockets and pogo sticks! It is 100% free and runs directly in your browser tab on Candy Clicker with no downloads required. The pig never walks: wolves charge from both the left and right, and your goal is to strike them down before they hit you.
Iron Snout Controls: Every Arrow Is an Attack
A common mistake for new players is pressing the Left Arrow key to walk away, resulting in punching open air. Remember: arrow keys act as directional attacks, not movement controls. The pig stands its ground while enemies approach.

Fighting Back: Cleavers, Combos, and Weapon Catches
