"'Bad Piggies' Hands On\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTitle Screen\nBad Piggies takes place on a lush, tropical island.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevels\nThere are 60 levels available, and a sandbox. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuild Your Car\nYou've got to get your piggie down the hill in the contraptions you build, so try to build something that won't break.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelpful Hints\nThe game offers basic hints on how to solve the puzzles, but doesn't give anything away.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeight Distribution\nYou'll have to make choices about where to put the weight in your car. Too heavy on one end or the other, and it could flip.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVarious Tools\nYou're given a bunch of objects to put on your cart, and all of them do different things when put on different spots.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRewards For Not Using Something\nYou're also rewarded for completing objectives where you don't use the tools for extra help.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRovio fans will be happy to snap up Bad Piggies Thursday morning. The game is the first title to spotlight the villains of the Angry Birds franchise, and it builds on great physics puzzles without a single slingshot in sight.\nThe object of Bad Piggies is to build a contraption to move your green pig to the finish line, and collect some goals along the way. You'll be given a variety of tools to build your piggie-propelling cart, such as fans, extra wheels, springs and boxes of dynamite. Mixing up the options on your car and restarting the level is really simple, in case you mess up.\nEncouraging this experimentation almost gives the game an educational angle, similar to Angry Birds Space. You'll have to figure out where to place the weight of your pig passenger: Do you want his bulk in the back to speed up the vehicle, or in the middle so it doesn't tip over? The game offers simple hints for how the physics work, but you're left to tinker with the options available to you on more complicated levels.\nIn this respect, the game feels like Rovio learned a lot from its invention-related puzzle title Amazing Alex; while that title wasn't great in execution, its ideas were intriguing. Where Amazing Alex failed \u2014 with ugly art and too much hand-holding \u2014 Bad Piggies succeeds. \n\nSEE ALSO: \u2018Amazing Alex\u2019: Fun, But No Angry Birds\u2019 [REVIEW]\nOne element I loved from Amazing Alex: There was more than one correct answer to the puzzles, and all the pieces provided weren't necessary to get to a solution. Those elements return in Bad Piggies, which makes it a more challenging and rewarding game because you don't have to throw everything in to succeed. You are even rewarded with an extra star on some missions for not using one of the provided items, such as a fan to propel you faster down the slopes. It encourages players to try several solutions to achieve the objective.\nBad Piggies may not be as simple to master as Angry Birds because of the lack of a slingshot, but it's almost a more rewarding game because it challenges the gamer's creativity more. There is even a sandbox mode for unlimited building potential.\nThe game is available now for iOS, Android, Mac and PC. You get 60 levels of content for between 99 cents and $4.99, depending if you want the HD version or not (if you can run it, get it). Rovio promises more content, and future games from the pigs are on the way, so this game is a must-get if you are a fan of puzzlers. \nCheck out our gallery below for screenshots from the game.
