Pigs on Head be a game made by Videlectrix.
In both modez of tha game, tha object is ta catch tha pigs on Pageboyz head n' give dem ta either Hank or Frank. If Pageboy fails ta catch a pig, itz fucked wit n' Pageboy loses a game. Lose all three, n' tha game is over n' shit. Pageboy can only carry 10 pigs on his head at one time.
In Mode A, you control all three charactas at once.
In Mode B, Hank n' Frank move up n' down tha laddaz up in a predetermined pattern (when Hank goes up, Frank goes down n' vice-versa).
Da number of points you git fo' droppin off pigs is directly related ta tha number of rungs up Hank/Frank is on tha ladder n' shit. Therefore, tha bottom rung (or one pig on head) is worth 1 point, while tha top rung is worth 10.
