When Rovio announced they would be coming out with a sequel to their hit Angry Birds, I was pretty excited. I’ve downloaded each of the Angry Birds games, and having a new challenge is something I’m always up for. Now Bad Piggies is available for download and play online, and it proves to be a lot of fun.

If you’re not familiar with Angry Birds, the premise of the game is that the pigs have stolen the birds’ eggs, and they’re after the pigs. In Bad Piggies, however, you’re now playing the role of the pigs, out to get those eggs.

In Angry Birds, you’re shooting your birds with a slingshot to destroy whatever is housing the pigs. Bad Piggies is a whole different challenge, in that you’re building a device for the pigs to ride in, hoping that it will go over hills and around obstacles in order to get to the finish line. It starts easily enough, but I have yet to get three stars on one level.

You can see a trailer of Bad Piggies below, but I’ll warn you – it’s just as addictive as Angry Birds.
