From our first red robin catapulted into Angry Birds to our recent orbited adventures with Angry Birds in Space, the series has always strived to involve large pigs as wicked villains who are only interested in eating the eggs of birds. To be honest, there is some truth in the story. But what Angry Birds does not say is that these pigs are not necessarily bad: they are just as hungry and hunger justifies the means, they are ready to do anything to get to the eggs. This time, pigs have a plan, or rather had a plan. Indeed, the precious map that would lead them straight to the nest is found accidentally shot to pieces and pieces scattered to the four winds. For their long-awaited omelette, our pigs have no other choice but to recover the pieces of a card in ornate levels.

Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple in the life of a pig. Without legs, it is impossible to simply run through the field to get the pieces of the map, their only option being to build a machine capable of carrying more or less comfortably our pigs through the level to the said card. At first very basic, the "vehicles" soon incorporate new elements to be able to overcome each situation encountered. In the early stages, a mere imitation of car can be enough to achieve the goal. Two wheels, a frame, and our pigs quietly descends a slope to the map. Later, it will be possible, and necessary to add an umbrella to cushion falls, or side wheels to adapt the machine to the always changing road. Soda bottles can also be used to propel the vehicle, while TNT causes an explosion capable of sending our machine to great heights. The game Bad Piggies distributes new items through the levels and gradually expands gameplay possibilities.

You will never entirely be bored with the billions of possibilities available. However, the stage of vehicles construction is still constrained by the number of elements available to us (three wheels, TNT, two fans, etc..) but also a more or less restricted work plan for each level. A work plan consists of several boxes that can each accommodate different elements. Once the machine is designed, simply run level to see how it all works. If the physical engine plays an important role in the behavior of your machine, some elements may also be operated manually to affect the speed, the height, etc.. Ingenuity is not enough in Bad Piggies, players must also have a bit of skill to know when to act. Clearly, it is not necessary to develop the ultimate vehicle, but you must also know how to give good impetus for it to function properly. For example, wag its gas cylinders during a descent to avoid losing energy and enjoy the push to cross the next climb. In the same vein, it is important to accurately calculate when helium balloons burst its carriers to gradually reduce altitude to avoid a fall and a brutal death.

In conclusion (I dedicate this to GA) with its sixty base levels, its extras, and the promise of regularly having access to entirely new, free zones, Bad Piggies should have no trouble finding its place in the list of enjoyable Android games. The gameplay is perhaps less immediate than Angry Birds, but the title is just as hypnotic. Thanks to its inventiveness and progressive difficulty, Bad Piggies is a game to enjoy.
