Rovio is definitely hard at work. Shortly after the Angry Birds Trilogy release they give us Bad Piggies.
Before you assume what this is about, it has nothing to do with the birds. In fact this games is all about the piggies.
For all of you that sympathise with them and their need for eggs. The game has follows the imagination of a single pig with freckles, whose hobbies are constructing both land and air-based vehicles.
In this game you can make them run, fly, bounce, and is generally for those creative builders out there. You help them get to the bird’s eggs with whatever contraption you build. Although the game doesn’t have as many features as the Angry Birds Trilogy, it certainly gives us insight into the piggies’ side of the story.
