*Bad Piggies* is a spin-off of the popular Angry Birds game. This time the
pigs take center stage in a physics-based puzzle game that plays out very
differently to Angry Birds. The swines in Bad Piggies are on the hunt for
eggs again. This time they're on a desert island and must construct vehicles
to help them negotiate the mountains, caves and other hostile terrain. It's
your job to help the piggies piece together their makeshift craft to guide
them through each level. There are 60 levels in Bad Piggies, set in the same
format as Angry Birds (i.e. you need to complete a level and try to get three
stars in order to progress to the next). At the start of each level you're
given various materials with which to construct a vehicle. These objects
include crates, wheels, umbrellas, fans, and TNT. The idea of Bad Piggies is
to make the construction at the top of the hill, then release the vehicle
towards the goal line. As it flies down the hill you can use the objects you
attached to help manipulate the craft and guide the pigs to the stars and
ultimately to the goal. Bad Piggies is a completely different challenge to
Angry Birds. The hit-and-miss approach of the catapults has gone and instead
Bad Piggies requires more mechanical thinking. This in turn makes the game
less appealing for some. You can no longer just turn on the game and start
wildly flinging your fingers around. Bad Piggies is more of a labored process
of working out what materials you have and how to join them together to deal
with the obstacles facing you and collect all the stars. Some would argue
that the satisfaction you get out of Bad Piggies doesn't warrant all this
brain energy. Graphically, Bad Piggies is bright and colorful and in keeping
with the Angry Birds style. There are fun cut scenes featuring the hapless
piggies, and the music is chirpy and catchy. * Bad Piggies is a challenging
physics-based puzzle game, though it's often complex tasks may put some
people off.*Download *Bad Piggies* in Softonic
