Bad Piggies is a physics-based puzzle spin-off game of the insanely popular Angry Birds made by Rovio Entertainment that where players can see the franchise in the pig's perspective. The goal of the game, instead of popping all the pigs in the level, is to build vehicles to get the pig to his destination.
Gameplay
The Gameplay of Bad Piggies is far from Angry Birds. Instead of flinging birds to pig-made structures, you control the Pigs (sort of), making vehicles for them to get to their destination. You will first be building simple wooden cars in the game, then before you know it, you will be building airplanes powered by engines. As the levels grow progressively, the vehicles have more power.
The collection of Stars is also far different than Angry Birds. You will be finishing certain objectives to collect the stars(First Star is defaulted to "Get The Pig to a certain destination") like:
- Not breaking the vehicle.
- Transported the King Pig with you.
- Not using a certain vehicle part.
- Collect star crates before going to destination.
- Get pig to destination within the timer ended.
- Carrying an egg (This is a must in the "Flight in the Night" episode).
- Carrying a Halloween Treats (This is a must in the "Tusk Till' Dawn" episode).
But unlike Angry Birds, you can use multiple runs to get all 3 stars like getting high points to afford it.

In 2016, Bad Piggies 2.0.0 was released, which introduces a new feature called "Custom Contraptions", in which you have to find three hidden loot crates each day to get new parts for the contraptions, which there is a vast amount available. Also new to this update is the "Scrap Machine", where you can throw scrap and extra parts in the machine and get better parts in return based on a 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star rating.
Later that year, Bad Piggies 2.2.0 was released, bringing the Cake Race game mode, where you can race against other players in real-time, provided you have internet.
