For copyright reasons, they’re not angry…

It’s inevitable that a game like Angry Birds will have some Imitators, and this seems like a prime exam­ple. Look beyond the superficial similarities though, and you’ll find some nifty ideas. For example, you can see the trajectory of your previous shot, avoiding the scatter-gun approach that could result on Angry Birds’more difficult stages. There’s also more scope for more creative level designs, with touches like the ability to fire your variously skilled ‘ammo; some of which have properties such as setting fire to wooden structures, which is rather handy.

But even with these in its favour, the game lacks the imme­diacy of Angry Birds. It seems to have a much steeper learning curve, and is burdened by the presence of friendly characters who must not be killed. In a game that’s built around random­ness, such precision is frustrating.
