Pass the Pigs game is coming to iPhone

THQ Wireless has confirmed to Pocket Gamer that it's bringing popular pig-tossing game Pass the Pigs to iPhone.

The publisher recently released a version of the game for mobile. Like the real-world game, it involves throwing two model pigs, and then scoring points based on how they land.

Like mobile, the iPhone version will feature a classic mode for up to four players, as well as a 'Pig's Life' career mode to provide more fun for solo players.

And yes, before you ask, the iPhone version will use the handset's capabilities. You'll be able to chuck the pigs by flicking your finger across the touchscreen, or use the 'Shake'n'Roll' controls to throw them by shaking the iPhone.

Expect to see Pass the Pigs hitting the App Store in the next week or so, with a price point to match its fun-but-casual gameplay.
