________________________________________
Rig up your hogs, strap yourself in, and head out into orbit for the fiercest turn-based battles this side of Uranus. Obliterate the competition with a Cruise Missile or close in for some potshots from your Vulcan gun. Not your style? Don't worry, you've got more than 20 ways to destroy the opposition.
Nuke some asteroids for an extra payday, but remember, they're the only thing protecting you from a re-entry hangover you won't wake up from. Take out some chumps and unlock heaps of new gear in 32 campaign levels, or ride into the online arena to face curly tails from all over the universe. But remember, in space no one can hear you squeal.

What the critics say:
8/10
"Forget iShoot and all of those easy-peasy, budget turn-based games. Star Hogs had the depth and gravity (pun intended) to keep you coming back again and again … Star Hogs is easily worth the $4.99 for fans of games like Worms."
- Levi, IGN.com
4/4 "Must Have"
"Star Hogs is part loving homage to the classic franchise Worms, part insanely technical space opera, and entirely awesome."
- Steve, slidetoplay.com
4.5/5 stars
"This game is so much fun, and I am no longer waiting for Worms to come to the iPhone. Upgrading your Hogs and completing the campaign is super fun but being able to take those Hogs online is a dream come true."
- Torbjorn, iphonegamenetwork.com
“The game is fully online (3G, Edge, Wifi) multiplayer which should make it really really interesting. Animations, sounds and most importantly, control layout and navigation are extremely beautiful.”
- Annalise, theappera.com
“I’ve been playing around with Star Hogs…all I can say is this is one beautiful game. I never really got into the whole “iShoot” hype and was never addicted to that game, but Star Hogs is a whole different story.”
- Daniel, nodpad.com
