The Bad Piggies game from Rovio, makers of the Angry Birds franchise, just got a big update with 30 brand new ‘Rise & Swine’ levels!

Rovio has added super glue, magnets and turbo charges as part of new power-ups – which you can either purchase or earn (by collecting desserts and feeding them to the King Pig).

The update also introduces a grappling hook, which users can fire onto any surface to swing in the right direction. You will also find the Super Mechanic – the guy you call in when you need a 3-star ride! He builds the perfect machine every time, and he’s yours to earn or purchase, as well.
