Rovio, the finish makers of the world's most download mobile application, Angry Birds, will launch a new game called Bad Piggies on September 27th, said the company tuesday.

"This innovative game turns the franchise on it's head by letting the fans play as the pigs", said Rovio in a statement.

The Angry Birds game involves using slingshots to launch little birds at fortresses built by green pigs -- an absurdist, addictive game that quickly became the most successful mobile game in history, which spawned an entire franchise of merchandise.

"Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play the second most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes", Rovio said.

The new game will be launched on iOS, Android and Mac on September 27th, and versions for Windows Phone, Windows 8 (o_O) and PC will be released at a later date, the company said.

Angry Birds reached more than one billion downloads in May, according to Rovio.

The company published a net profit of 48 million euros, (60 million $) on sales of 75.4 million euros for 2011, and the company said they aim to seek a stock market listing by the end of 2013.

Maybe this gaming is going to be the exact reverse of angry birds gameplay like you set the pigs and those wood and stone stuff which will be limited on a terrain in a strategic positions so that you may pass the level if even one pig survives and high scores are made by checking how many pigs and those stuff survived when the birds are launched by the computer.......or did I think way to extreme ;)
