About This Game

Run. Block. Dodge. Get "HedgeHogged".

Take control of a relentlessly cheerful Viking and try to survive a world that seems determined to fill him with arrows.

Raise your shield, dodge incoming fire, and react quickly as arrows come flying from every direction. Miss the timing and things can go spectacularly wrong — while somehow never losing that ridiculous smile.

Survive the Arrows

Arrows aren't just animations. Hits interact with the character through real-time physics, creating unpredictable and often ridiculous results.

Block them with your shield. Get out of the way. Or take one directly to the body and discover what happens next.

Every bad decision has the potential to become a very good ragdoll.

Physics Makes Everything Better

"HedgeHogged" is built around playful physics-driven action where impacts, explosions and collisions can quickly turn a perfectly sensible situation into complete chaos.

Characters tumble, equipment goes flying, and no two disasters play out quite the same way.

From Land to Sea

Your Viking adventure also takes you onto the open ocean.

Take command of a Viking warship, aim your cannon and battle various enemy ships across rolling waves. Adjust your firing angle and power, account for the movement of the sea, and try to sink the enemy before they sink you.

A Handcrafted World

Stylized characters, chunky wooden ships, worn materials and playful animation give HedgeHogged a deliberately handcrafted personality.

Everything is designed to feel slightly imperfect, tactile and full of character—especially the Viking who continues smiling regardless of how badly things are going.
