Rovio partnered with Chillingo to publish the first Angry Birds app to the iOS App Store. To choose an enemy for the birds, they thought pigs were appropriate as the swine flu epidemic was in the news at the time. When the game was in development, the folks at Rovio liked the idea of building wingless and legless birds.

The first game debuted for iOS devices in 2009 for $0.99, with the Android release shortly after, which was free and ad-supported. Rovio has seen massive success with the series. The download count, however, includes all platforms and all the Angry Birds games that Rovio has made, which are: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Space, as well as the free, light versions of the games.

The company announced one billion downloads for Angry Birds in May. At one point, the Playstation 3 version of Angry Birds even became the best selling game on PSN. Starting with its debut on iOS devices and eventual ports into other platforms, the franchise has proved extremely popular. The Angry Birds series has been undeniably successful. 'There's so much more to these pigs than what is seen in the Angry Birds games, and Bad Piggies is the first glimpse into what's going on in the imaginative and ingenious minds of the pigs.' 'We've had a lot of fun creating a totally new and unique gameplay experience,' said Petri Järvilehto during the announcement of the game. Rovio had also released a trailer for the game that showcases some of the gameplay. This is the first time the Bad Piggies are protagonists of a game, but it’s just the beginning of a series of Bad Piggies-related games and other entertainment. 33 objects are available to create the ultimate machine - if you can navigate around all the obstacles first. Four sandbox levels let them stretch their creativity to the utmost. Fans can unlock an additional 30 levels by getting three stars.

According to a statement by Rovio, with more than 60 levels, and free updates in the offing, the game takes you through hours of pig-crashing, exploding, and flying fun.
