Rovio announces Bad Piggies for Android

Rovio today announced the launch of Bad Piggies, the long-awaited game in which the green pigs of "Angry Birds" take over.

According to Petri Jarvilehto, head of game development at Rovio, the title brings “an entirely new experience”, in addition to addressing a different point of view from previous games.

“Angry Birds games are essentially you shooting birds with a slingshot and watching birds destroy things, while pigs are the builders. So this is a game that is completely based around the concept of building things, ”he told the Telegraph.

Bad Piggies is available, free of charge, on the Android platform in two versions: HD for devices with top-of-the-line hardware and a lighter version for older or low-cost smartphones.
