Bad Piggies allow us to play from the perspective of those evil green pigs. In this game the player has to customise contraptions for pigs to use while traveling from A-to-B while collecting stars along the way. Customisations include propellers, umbrellas, rockets, wheels, and fizzy bottles. Creating the perfect vehicle prior to each level is paramount as Bad Piggies is noticeably harder than its predecessor.

Bad Piggies looks like an interesting addition to the Angry Birds universe, and it’s definitely not the same old, smash ‘em up slingshot premise from previous games.
