Rovio's Bad Piggies, a game that sees you cobbling together weird and wonderful vehicles for villains of the Angry Birds franchise, is now available for Windows Phone, 18 months after it was first released for iOS and Android. Vehicles, whether flying or rolling, are constructed from a predefined set of components, so the key challenge in the game is putting them together in such a way as to successfully navigate to the end of each level.

The basic game play of Bad Piggies is different to Angry Birds, but at its heart it is still a physics based puzzler and has the same easy charm of the parent series. Parabolic addicted gamers wont get quite the same enjoyment from the game, but for others it will be a refreshing alternative way to visit the world dominated by the on-going porcine-avine conflict.

Like many of Rovio's titles Bad Piggies provides excellent value for money, with more than 200 levels and various additional unlockable content. As with Angry Birds your progress through a level is also rated, with some of the later level being very difficult to "fully complete".
