After playing second fiddle to the Angry Birds for the last three years, the green pigs have snorted their way to the top of the gaming charts ?at least on Day One of its release.
?
?
"What Rovio has proven with Amazing Alex ? and now with Bad Piggies ? is that it has the network power to get a game to No. 1 on the first day, a skill any mobile game developer would covet. But whether that alone is worth as much as $9 billion, it?s hard to know," it said, referring to the games the Finnish game maker released after Angry Birds in December 2009.
?
Rovio's Angry Birds game was so massively popular it spawned several versions of Angry Birds, including Angry Birds Space. Rovio recently released a new game, Amazing Alex.
?
In the case of "Bad Piggies," AllThingsD said the new 99-cent Angry Birds spinoff game zoomed to the top of the iPhone and iPad paid charts in the United States.
?
Staying on top?
?
But AllThingsD noted that in the case of Amazing Alex, Rovio's first game outside the Angry Birds universe, it initially topped of the charts in 54 countries but failed to stay in top position.
?
"After less than two months, Amazing Alex ranked as the 73rd most-popular paid app worldwide," it noted.
?
If Rovio scores a hit on app stores, AllThingsD said this would mean a boost for its possible stock market flotation in 2013.
?
Some analysts put its market value at between $6 billion and $9 billion, nearly on par with phone maker Nokia, it added.
?
Bad Piggies
?
The game starts with the Bad Piggies having found a map to the eggs, but the map is in pieces all over Piggy Island.
?
King Pig orders his minions to recover the map wherever it is, even from the top of a mountain or the bottom of a cave!
?
Pigs will have to turn objects like umbrellas, wings, bottle rockets, balloons, and engines into the "ultimate flying machine."
?
Rovio said the game has more than 60 levels and free updates.?? TJD, GMA News
