Angry Birds for Android

Game concept

Take on the troublesome green pigs by flinging a flock of furious birds at their defenses. Your objective is to topple every pig-packed structure by breaking through the forts and causing enough damage to eliminate the enemies. As you progress, the constructions grow sturdier, so success takes careful aim and creative problem solving.

How the game works

To launch a bird, pull the sling back, set the angle and power, then let go. Each level gives you a limited supply of birds — typically four — and if any pigs remain when you run out, you must replay the stage. The puzzles reward smart shots and clever use of the environment as much as precision.

Controls and device experience

The touch-and-drag slingshot controls are simple and intuitive. On devices with sharp, high-resolution displays (for example, the HTC Desire), the visuals look particularly crisp and pleasing, making the game a joy to play on capable hardware.

Visuals and sound

Bright, cartoon-style graphics and comical bird squawks and sound effects add personality and humor to the action. The combination of colorful art and silly audio cues enhances the lighthearted, arcade-like feel.

Standout qualities

• Physics-driven puzzles that require inventive solutions
• Cross-platform popularity, with strong roots on the iPhone and a smooth arrival on Android
• Appealing presentation in both visuals and audio
• Easy-to-learn controls paired with progressively tougher challenges
