Rovio announced that Bad Piggies rocketed up to the top slot in the App Store three hours after launching. This is better to the release of even the last two games from Rovio: Angry Birds Space and Amazing Alex.

“It’s been an incredible launch, both for the game and for Bad Piggies as a brand,” said Rovio CEO Mikael Hed.

The first free Bad Piggies update will launch in the next few weeks, introducing new levels and unlockable content.
