Following up a hit is never easy, but it looks like Rovio’s going to do just fine with its latest title Bad Piggies.
The game, which stars those laughing pork antagonists from the Angry Birds series, shot straight to the top of the US app store just three hours after launching.

When Rovio launched the sequel to its massively popular Angry Birds franchise Angry Birds: Space, it was downloaded 10-million times in the first three days of going live.
If Bad Piggies keeps going like it has been, it could well beat that.
In Bad Piggies, you play as the nefarious green pigs. You use a variety of objects to get the pigs to their intended destination and, it seems, wreak a fair amount of havoc along the way.
