Less than one month after the initial release of Bad Piggies, Rovio has graced us with the app’s first update. The update, v1.1.0, adds a new episode called Flight in the Night as well as some other twists, which we will detail below. It’s now available for download for iOS, Mac, PC, and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, with other platforms coming soon. If you are new to Bad Piggies, be sure to check out our original release post, which includes a lot of information about gameplay and a great tutorial video done by us.
This update includes:
- 15 new levels with 30 more coming soon. Like its predecessors, the first chapter of Flight in the Night includes 12 “normal” levels and 3 “bonus” levels. Remember that you do not need to perform all three required objectives in a single run in order to obtain 3-stars on a given level. Flight in the Night walkthroughs are live if you need help.
- More skulls!. Three new skulls are scattered across the 15 levels in this update. If you need help finding them, our Complete Hidden Skulls Guide has been updated!
- One New Sandbox level with another coming soon. These are very different, requiring you to collect 20 star boxes scattered across the massive level, using as many contraptions and tries as you need. We will be updating our Complete Sandbox Guide soon as well.
- Field of Dreams Sandbox, which we have a bunch more details on below.
- New objective that requires you to get the egg and pig across the finish line.
- Screenshot icon that when tapped takes a screenshot of the level and saves it your camera role.
No word on whether or not this will be available on all platforms.Appears to be iOS only at this point. - Fun fact! Zoom out on level 3-2 and scroll up and you’ll see a red and blue bird sleeping ever so soundly. The birds are making their way into Bad Piggies! They also appear in a few other levels?
- No New Game Center Achievements! However, if you’re curious about the previous achievements check out our exhaustive list.
- iPhone 5 optimization!
- New bugs? Repaired bugs? We have a forum thread and would love to hear from you.

Slim, I talked to you a week ago or so regarding my issue with Bad Piggies continuously crashing whenever i complete a level and whenever i use certain actions. I used your backup/transfer guide, and copied my files off thru diskaid (the contraptions folder, settings.xml, progress.dat, and achievements.xml), and i deleted bad piggies off my ipod. i then downloaded it again onto my ipod thru App Store app, played a level, reconnected it to diskaid and replaced the new files with my old ones. i played a new level, and it crashed when i hit the finish line. i then restarted the process again, this time transferring bad piggies onto my ipod via itunes on my pc, and when i tried to play, it still crashed.
what do i do now? should i try leaving my contraptions or settings folder/file behind? i’m assuming something is corrupted here
Contraptions is “expendable”, but not the settings file. That’s absolutely necessary.
i really need to re-upload settings? why couldnt i just use the new settings file that would come after re-installing it?
Settings also controls which levels are unlocked
then what does progress do?
I’m just relaying what I know. You may be best off contacting Rovio. Sorry.
thats fine, thanks, i’ll give em an email.
i just tried it all without contraptions. still isnt working. i really cant use a new settings file with my contraptions, progress, and achievements?
Hi! I can’t update Bad Piggies Flight in the Night :( Does anyone know why I have this problem? When I open it in android market, there is a notice “Not found. The requested item could not be found.” It also doesn’t work via google play and I tried to restart my phone but still doesn’t work. I have HTC Desire S .. :( thanks for help
Oh, and on Google play is a notice, that my phone is not compatible with Bad Piggies O__o I really dont understand why :(
If you are having compatibility issues, you will need to intact Rovio directly. We do not have a compatibility list for Android.
okay, thanks a lot :)
If you buy the field of dreams map, does it remove the ads from Bad Piggies?
I don’t believe so.
Updated Today 11/5/12 on Amazon App store.
Thanks for the info! Post updated.
update PC
including field of dreams
after the update the game is locked and asked for key
any help?
If you have the code that you used for activating it for the first time, it might work. Though it only works for 2 or 3 times at the most.
True, though of its an identical computer with all the same components, it can work more. I’ve used my AB one dozens of times.
What if I lost my activation key?:(
Then you will have to purchase a new one, it sounds like. Per the automated email sent by Rovio when you purchase a key:
Thanks @josm! Looks like all the activaion issues have been fixed, so far only one display issue still to be fixed (1024×768 non-windowed).
So if we activate it once we dont have to activate it again ?
I am having problem … with this update a message doesn’t show please someone help me I wanna steal eggs now >..<)

At 0:37 in the video it shows multiple pigs in the Field Of Dreams sandbox, but I only have King Pig and Freckles. Why is this?
your right, now i have same question how or if possible to obtain. im making a 2 plane thing where one pig tries bombing kind pig, but king should have companion and there should be more than 1 bomb plans.
