So Bad Piggies has been a vacuum of time wasting and a staple to how I spend my time in class. Between Bad Piggies and stressing to get articles done in time, I think I might enjoy some mindless time wasting via Rovio’s latest mobile app. Bad Piggies is a spin-off of the Angry Birds franchise that circles around the bad guys of the original game. This time, they’re in your hands to acquire the thing they desire most: eggs. On your way to get the eggs, a number of hijinx ensue where you must help the pigs acquire pieces to maps that lead to the eggs. Unfortunately pieces are in unattainable areas and require you to help the pigs build miraculous contraptions to ge from point A to point B. The process is fun, challenging, and the time spent:payment ratio far exceeds the $0.99 game for iPhone.
An Appreciated Directional Change by Rovio
After a string of similar spin-offs: Angry Birds: Seasons, Angry Birds: Rio, Angry Birds Space, bringing the franchise in a new direction [and even keeping the old direction with the confirmed Angry Birds: Star Wars], using the Piggies as new protagonists in a completely different setting is really cool to see. Everyone thought this spin-off would be just another Angry Birds rip-off, but it’s pretty clear that this new game is built from the ground up with similar addictive elements like 3-star grinding and secret hunting.
