If you’ve found yourself growing tired of Rovio’s numerous expansions to digital success story Angry Birds, perhaps you’ll be pleased to see how different its spin-off, Bad Piggies, plays.
One could describe the gameplay as the antithesis to Angry Birds. Whilst our enraged fowl friends merely aimed to destroy the environment, these pigs are decidedly more inventive. You’ll be constructing various vehicles based on blueprints and then send them flying through 2D levels. You’ll want to snatch yourself some of those eggs along the way.
The gameplay trailer below should speak for itself:
Bad Piggies will be available on September 27th on the Mac, Android, and iOS platforms. Windows 8 and PC versions should launch at an unspecified later date.
What a brilliant way for Rovio to leverage its existing IP for new gameplay experiences.
Rest of the games industry, take note,.
Amazing Alex wasn't Rovio's idea fully, as they acquired the original developer, but this is an absolute brilliant way to expand the Angry Birds franchise.
I really can't wait to start flying piggies!
