Angry Birds

I was a little bored last night so decided to browse the Apple app store on my iPhone and found Angry Birds as the top paid app.

It has a pretty good score so I decided to give it a go.

A few hours later it was wayyyy past my bed time but I wasn’t bored anymore.

Angry Birds has a very simple story, some pig like creatures have stolen the birds eggs and unsurprisingly they want them back.
Take a look at the video for the ‘full’ story.

Story aside, the game play is also pretty simple.
Using the touch screen, select the angle and power for your bird which is sat in a large catapult and release to fire.

The aim is to hit all the pigs to complete the level.

The said pigs are often in a variety of defenses made from structures like wood, stone, glass and rubber ducks.

To aid your endeavors you are provided with different types of bird with different abilities such as splitting into 3 mid air, speeding up or exploding.

These little touches make a simple game a lot of fun to play and add to the lifespan.

After every level you are given a score and rating out of 3 stars. This gives you something to do after completing all 100+ levels by trying to get the full star quota on the ones you missed.

The graphics are good in a cartoony way and the sounds fairly amusing though a little repetitive.

All in this is a great little game and my favorite on the iPhone for quite some time.

The best part is it’s only 59P (99¢) so my advise for all you iPhone users is to give it a go.
