Bad Piggies: A first glimpse of Rovio’s new game

You could only shoot a bunch of scowling birds at those gleeful green pigs for so long before wondering what their back story was.

Well now Rovio’s giving you the chance to play from the pig’s perspective. The game, called Bad Piggies appears to be a sort of puzzle-style adventure game. 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.

The new game will launch on iOS, Android and Mac on 27 September. Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions will follow shortly.
