Bad piggie

## ***description***

***Bad Piggie*** is an Angry Birds spinoff game from Rovio Entertainment that was released on September 27th, 2012. The game's premise is that the player is on the pigs' side instead of the birds, and would have to build vehicles to get to the eggs. The game's style is similar to *Amazing Alex*, Rovio's previous game, maneuvering around courses. It is currently available for iOS, Nook, Android, Kindle Fire, Mac, and PC, with Windows 8 and Windows Phone to follow in the future. The game is free on Google Play, is $2.99 for iPad (HD) and $0.99 for iPhone.

The game has been stated to follow the imagination of a single Pig with freckles, under the name Ross, whose hobbies are constructing both land and air-based vehicles. Toons.TV has been added to the game during the Halloween update. Another new feature was added, the Hidden Loot Crates and the Custom Parts. There are also hidden Skulls that you can find throughout the game. The newest update added the Cake Race, where you could race with other players in real time.

## Promotion

On August 27, 2012, the Bad Piggies made their own Facebook andTwitter accounts and started teasing readers that they have plans to reveal soon. On August 30th, Rovio posted a video on their YouTube during Red on a featureless white background, with pigs falling on top of him and the supertitle "Something PIG is coming" appearing on screen. After eight days of secrecy, on September 4th, the Pigs finally revealed their plans: a new game in which they are the stars. On September 17th, Yahoo! Games has revealed the game play for Bad Piggies. The main point is that you build vehicles (Cars, planes, etc.) out of various materials (wood,metal, etc.) then ride them and try to collect things such as stars. The following day, the TV show *X-Play* made a preview of the game showing more of the game. On September 27th, the game was released on iOS, Android, and Macintosh, with PC releasing later in the day.

## Gameplay

For every level (except the Sandbox and Field of Dreams levels) The player is tasked with creating a vehicle that will bring Ross to the goal. However, the player is given a limited amount of resources, in the form of parts, for the player to do so; The parts can do many things that could affect the vehicle's performance such as: Soda bottles and firework rockets as boosters, fans and rotors to provide propulsion and even TNT crates etc. These parts are to be assembled in a form of 'build grid' and the player cannot start without putting the Ross inside the vehicle, after which the Player may start the attempt.

Physics apply to the vehicle (weight, force, and aerodynamics) which the player may compensate or use to benefit the chances of getting to the goal, whilst operating the various parts to get to it. For example, lighter parts like wood will have a lightweight construction meaning faster speed, more aerodynamics and able to achieve in less time. However due to the weakness in strength, the material itself will be vulnerable to damage. Likewise, heavier parts will have a sturdier construction, heavier in weight resulting in less prone to damage, less aerodynamics, more grip and better holding into the surface. However, this resulted in a slower speed due to impacted weight of the material.

The level is graded in stars, much like the other Angry Birds games but, instead of grading the player's performance, they are gained by achieving secondary objectives like: Star Boxes, completing a level without using a part, possibly trying not to break the vehicle, or getting to the objective under par time *(2 par times in the Road Hogs levels)*. The player is rewarded the stars once the goal has been reached.

Sometimes, the player may come across the Birds, whom are initially sleeping. The player can sneak by without using engines, crashing, or boosters otherwise the birds may wake up, mount their slingshot and attack the player, they also use their abilities to help try and stop Ross from reaching the goal.
