Squishy the Suicidal Pig gives its puzzle-platforming adventure a darkly comic premise: Squishy, a pig in a yellow sweater, is trying to reach his parents in animal heaven by completing a deal with the devil. His journey crosses forests, deadly deserts and snowy mountains before reaching space, pairing a counterintuitive goal with colorful pixel-art scenery.
The challenge combines complex puzzles with tough platform jumping and timing, so players must contend with both problem-solving and precise movement. The game lists over forty levels, four boss fights with three difficulty settings, minigames and a selection of hats. These features frame a varied single-player adventure, rather than suggesting that every stage follows the same pattern.
A speedrun mode sets a different pace: its stated objective is to complete the whole game in one sitting, with online highscores. Its levels, bosses and speedrun format describe the play experience more specifically than the premise alone, without implying that the game centers on multiplayer sessions.
