Rovio’s Bad Piggies hit Google Play this morning. So far, it’s kind of fun. The objective is to reach the end of the levels by building contraptions with a set amount of supplies you are given such as boxes, wings, and other misc. tools. The game is more fun than I had anticipated, but the pig’s laughter is very nauseating. 

It’s official. News of the century. This morning, Rovio has announced that the spin off of Angry Birds called, Bad Piggies, will launch on multiple platforms including Android on September 27. I have a good feeling about this game. I am hoping that instead of sending the pigs smashing through things, that we get to build structures that can withstand a bird barrage. That would be a nice change of pace.

So, it looks like Rovio is finally coming out with a Angry Birds spin-off. Took ‘em long enough. According to their Facebook and newest trailer, something pig is coming. The Facebook page is titled “Bad Piggies,” but who knows if that title will stick when the game is finally revealed. 

NASA and Rovio have become best buddies with the launch of Angry Birds Space, and with the latest update, NASA is looking to the Birds to save the Mars Curiosity Rover from those pesky pigs. The update, now live in the Play Store, adds 20 levels of the Birds flying around the Red Planet looking to get the rover back from the evil pigs.

The game also adds volcanos and meteors as things to avoid on your way to smashing up pigs, adding to the already diverse maps in the game. There are even hidden rovers and landers for you to find on the red planet that unlock special levels and help to “discover more about the NASA missions.” If you are a die-hard Angry Birds fan, don’t miss this new region of space to play in.

Cheers barski!

If you have been waiting patiently for Rovio’s launch of Amazing Alex, then today is your day. Amazing Alex is a physics based game where you take supplied pieces of material and then build a contraption to ensure that a ball makes its way to the certain destination. So far, it’s been fun and we highly recommend. They have a free version, paid version for $0.99, and an HD version for a full $2.99. 

When we first heard that Rovio had purchased the IP for Casey’s Contraptions, it was reported that they would be completely reinventing the game and then releasing to the world. It looks like they’re done and ready for the launch of Amazing Alex. In two days, users can play through a hundred physics-based puzzles and then once done with those, can even create and share their own levels with other players. 

Recently, Rovio has confirmed that they have big plans following the huge success of Angry Birds Space. They have acquired the IP for Casey’s Contraptions, which is a popular title for iOS users. Rovio intends to re-brand the game and then launch on both Android and iOS, followed by many more platforms. Ville Heijari, VP of franchise development had this to say on the acquisition:

Working with Noel and Miguel has been fantastic, and this is a game that we all fell in love with from the first play. The gameplay is a perfect fit in our arsenal with its approachable, fun and highly addictive take on the physics puzzler genre.

Watch the video below and let us know what you think of this game. It seems like another ‘cutesy’ physics game, which is always welcomed.  

In two days, Angry Birds will try to return to relevance with their newest body of work, Angry Birds Space. And that’s all we pretty much have to say about that.
