Angry Birds vs Bad Piggies ... who will win? Rumors has it that Rovio could float its stock next year if Bad Piggies does well ... lol! I guess the piggy bank did save some cash then! "Mobile gaming developer Rovio has launched its latest title, Bad Piggies - a spin-off of its hugely popular game, Angry Birds. The company hopes its latest effort will prove that its 2009 hit, which has been downloaded over a billion times, was not a one-off. A more recent Rovio release, Amazing Alex, failed to sustain early success. If Bad Piggies sells well, some analysts believe Rovio may float its stock as soon as next year.
The game once again features a cartoon-style physics-based environment. However, instead of launching birds out of catapults players must construct vehicles out of a selection of parts to deliver the swine to a finish line, collecting stars along the way. The original Angry Birds games attracted up to 200 million active players a month towards the end of 2011." Source: BBC |
