Bad Piggies

Bad Piggies is a 2012 puzzle video game developed by Rovio Entertainment. It is a spinoff in the Angry Birds series and revolves around the green pigs rather than the birds. It has the player build custom vehicles using various objects to guide a pig to the finish line, with levels having multiple solutions and optional additional goals being achievable by applying alternate strategies. A sandbox mode, which allows the player to freely build any vehicle, is also featured.

Gameplay
riding in a custom road vehicle Bad Piggies is a physics-based puzzle game revolving around the green pigs from previous Angry Birds games. In each level, the player is provided with a set of attachable objects such as crates, wheels, bellows, balloons, umbrellas, soft drink bottles, and coil springs, with more being unlocked as the game progresses. The objects provided must be arranged on a square grid to construct a custom vehicle that can guide a pig to the finish line and recover pieces of the plan. Vehicles can break apart while active, and the pig will be ejected if it does; levels must be manually restarted if the player gets stuck. Bad Piggies additionally includes a sandbox mode, which contains large open environments where players can freely build any custom vehicle. An extra sandbox level can be unlocked by collecting skulls hidden throughout other levels. More content was introduced to Bad Piggies after its launch via updates; in February 2015, a sandbox level featuring icy surfaces titled "Little Pig Adventure" was added alongside the gearbox, which allows vehicles to travel backwards. The iOS version is compatible with Apple Inc.'s Game Center service, which is used for achievements and to compare progress with friends. Bad Piggies is compatible with the Everyplay mobile app, which allows players to record and watch replays of their previous gameplay. ==Release==
