Bad Piggies

Bad Piggies is a physics-based puzzle game revolving around the green pigs from previous Angry Birds games. The pigs aim to steal the Angry Birds' eggs, but their plans are shredded in a fan and become scattered. Thus, the pieces must be recovered by finding them in areas divided into levels. 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 the pig to the finish line and recover pieces of the plan. There is no set solution for each level, so the player must come up with one themself. Alternatively, the player can press a "Hire a Mechanic" button to have a mechanic pig build a vehicle for them.

According to the review aggregation website Metacritic, the iOS version of Bad Piggies was received as "generally favorable" based on 24 critic reviews. Eli Hodapp, writing for TouchArcade, gave it a 5-star rating and praised its accessibility, claiming that it "tak[es] the franchise in a direction that feels both totally fresh and entirely appropriate". Justin Davis from IGN considered the design "impeccable" and praised its creative freedom and pricing. He called it "a much deeper, more rewarding and more creative experience than anything Rovio has produced previously" and "the best title Rovio has released yet".

Jason Parker from CNET stated that Bad Piggies is "much more challenging than the Angry Birds variations you're used to". Although he commented that its unfamiliar difficulty may alienate players, he called its gameplay "a unique and interesting new game type that will appeal to both casual and serious puzzle gaming fans". Stuart Dredge from The Guardian, similarly to Parker, wrote that "experienced gamers will love Bad Piggies" while casual players may struggle.
