Developer Rovio Mobile has announced new gameplay details for their upcoming release Bad Piggies. Rather than taking it to the pigs as Angry Birds armed with a slingshot, Bad Piggies will challenge players to assemble vehicles with a new blueprint feature and race their creations through stages in an attempt to get attain the highest possible score. The custom vehicles can carry multiple passengers and can range from anything to a car to a flyable airplane, and the game's unique control scheme will allow you to accurately drive and pilot your vehicles through the tough terrain of the game's stages to a desired goal. You can read on to learn more and see Bad Piggies in action in the gameplay trailer below.

"Angry Birds smash things up, Bad Piggies build stuff. The pigs are all about making plans and building things, even -- and especially -- when they don't work!"
Bad Piggies is scheduled to release for iOS, Android and Mac on September 27, 2012. Bad Piggies is not yet rated. For more information on the game, check out the official Bad Piggies website.
