It looks like Rovio Mobile’s latest game, Bad Piggies, is already a hit, as the game is now top of the charts in the US app store. Remarkably, it took Bad Piggies just three hours to hit the top of the charts.
We also just checked the UK app store, and Rovio’s Bad Piggies is also in the number one spot. We wonder if it has hit the top of the charts in more countries around the world.
Global Popularity and Reception
The rapid rise of Bad Piggies to the top of the charts is a testament to Rovio Mobile’s ability to create engaging and addictive games. The game’s success is not just limited to the US and UK; it has also been climbing the charts in various other countries, including Canada, Australia, and several European nations. This widespread popularity indicates that Bad Piggies has struck a chord with a global audience.
The game’s unique premise, which involves building contraptions to help the pigs reach their goals, offers a fresh take on the physics-based puzzle genre. This innovative gameplay has been praised by both critics and players alike, contributing to its swift ascent in the app store rankings.
Comparisons to Angry Birds
It will be interesting to see how popular Bad Piggies becomes in the long run. We wonder if it will ever be as popular as Angry Birds, Rovio’s flagship game that took the world by storm. Angry Birds has become a cultural phenomenon, spawning merchandise, animated series, and even a feature film. While it is too early to tell if Bad Piggies will reach the same level of cultural impact, its initial success is promising.
When we tested it out briefly earlier, it certainly seemed like a lot of fun. The game’s mechanics are both challenging and rewarding, requiring players to think creatively and strategically. This level of engagement is likely to keep players coming back for more, potentially leading to sustained popularity.
Moreover, Rovio has a track record of supporting their games with regular updates and new content, which could help maintain player interest over time. If Bad Piggies continues to receive the same level of post-launch support as Angry Birds, it stands a good chance of becoming a long-term success.
