[Video Review] Angry Birds Beta Makes its Way to Android - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

If you haven’t noticed, there’s a game nearly every iPhone user has been playing lately. Combining some of our favorite childhood memories, slingshots, flying(or desire to), and animals(is that a memory), Angry Birds for iPhone made a name for itself when it became the #1 paid app for iPhone. Eager for their own opportunity to try this addicting game, Android users wondered when they’d get a taste. Wonder no more, my friends, because Angry Birds for Android is here. Angry Birds Beta for Android gives you the chance to try out the game until the full version hits the market (as a paid version), so give it a shot and see what all the hype is about. I myself am now gonna go hide in a corner and play for hours. Don’t judge.

Angry Birds Begin Hatching On Android
This week, we were planning to run a closed beta test of Angry Birds Lite for Android. Due to the massive response and demand from the Android community, we have decided to make Angry Birds Lite Beta available for everybody through the Android Market this Friday.
Please note that this will be the beta version of the application which is still undergoing final testing before official release. Angry Birds Lite Beta is presented on an "as is" basis, and we cannot guarantee its functionality on every Android device.
Angry Birds Lite Beta will run on second generation Android devices and upwards.
We have tested the game on a number of Android devices, and we would love to hear your feedback on how the game is performing on your personal device. Should you have any problems running Angry Birds Lite Beta, you can simply click the report a bug button in the main menu of the game to provide us with direct feedback.
We want to ensure that we will publish the best game ever released on Android, and we hope that this beta version will prove to our Android fans that Angry Birds has been worth the wait!
More information on Friday when we have the game available on Android Market.

anyways, i've played this for iPad and it is TONS of fun. can't wait! thanks for the info OP!
So I've heard of this game and so figured it must be something special. But I played it for a minute when checking out the new iPhone at an ATT store..and didn't see the big deal. Looked like one of those games found all over the net where you try to slingshot something as far as you can. Does it go more in depth than that?

Yes, it does go into more depth. It's not just a see how far you can sling game.
You have to kill round green pigs with the birds. The pigs are protected by different types of barriers (wood, ice, concrete) that all break and react somewhat differently. There are also different types of birds that have secondary actions that can be triggered mid-air. Some birds split into more birds, some explode, and some go faster.
That's as far as I've gotten...there could be more types of birds/barriers. The first levels are obviously easier, but as you go on - like any good game - it becomes more challenging and you have to adjust your strategy and put at least a little thought into your approach.

Android Gaming Just Got Better

games on the android platform are really lacking in style and just all round refinement compared to the iPhone. but having said that the company I work for just released the first lite version game of the blob man series.
It's called blob warrior lite and is up on the android market, so if you're looking for a good game check it out. It's the first in the series of blob games released by Black Snow and the paid version should be coming out by February 14th.
Blob Warrior Lite is an addicting game for android using the accelerometer to control the main character as it zooms around trying to avoid being eaten.
Its a fun game and works well - but I wouldnt go as far as saying it's more refined than others for Android.
Game sucks, graphics look like they were drawn by a 3 years old, gameplay is medicore at best

Now what use is that? I'm certain it's people and comments like that, that deters any decent game devs from Android.
Personally, I liked it! It's not something I'd play for hours on end. but a few minutes here and there
Needs a little more work I'd say, for example ability to adjust tilt sensitivity

That was helpful. How about showing your displeasure with the game without being a jerk?
Ater playing the first few games i thought 'Hmm, well this is going to be impossible to dodge the little red montsters.' Then i accidently clicked the screen and a cheese puff popped out which from then on i found out i could shoot the little red monsters haha!
But all in all yes an addictive game which can be played here and there, with different levels + difficulties etc.

That comment was perfectly justified given the arrogance of the OP.
The OP put down every SINGLE Android game saying they all suck, and then talks about how great his new game is.
He could have just said "Hey everyone, here's a new game: xyz" rather than calling every other Android game crap.
So yes, that comment was definitely justified.

wrong, the douche-poster did not touch on this at all....he was just trashing the development of the game, which is gutless and unnecessary. he could have at least worded it in a fashion that was condusive with a person above the age of 8.
as far as the OP's pitch....who cares, theres nothing wrong with being competitive and and trying to reel people in. after all, it is a "market"....no reason to get all bent out of shape over an app promotion, just dont download it

thanks for all the feedback everyone. I will admit the graphics probably need some work and there are more updates to come very close in the future. As for the Motorola Droid problem it might be a resolution issue considering a the different screen ratios out there. I'll pass it on to and see if we can find a fix

Look up Angry Bots tech demo on the market. It's not a real game per se, just a tech demo, but holy goddamn it looks gorgeous. Console-quality, easily.

he last that was heard about this topic from the developers was back in June 2011 when they said in their forums they were strongly considering bringing this game to Android as well. Well we have received word from Ossian that it will indeed be coming to Android. Why should this make you excited?

Anyway, we'll try to do our best when we release new version of the game.
Who said that old Nintendo graphics is bad?
What I'm interesting more is feedback on the gameplay, graphics can be improved easily but if the idea and gameplay is not good enough, then it is really not good.
Trolls playing Mods and getting it all wrong. Funny. Game looks alright to me. Its free. Get over it.

Well.. i can't play it, i'm using a Optimus One so i'm blaming arm6
Anyway, game looks cool, but i would advice you to put some more info in the first post... game description, captures, or just some more general info
Thank you for the game. I love this "old Nintendo style" gfx though, I still use my Amiga computer to play games, too maybe that's why Wonder why you give it away for free.

I'm giving it away for free because the market is very tough nowadays, nobody will buy your game if you do not have already your own brand or/and huge amount of money for marketing. If Rovio releases new game they can sell quite well even if the game is quite usual because everybody knows them as "Angry birds" developers. If "no name" developer like me and my team is releasing even brilliant game, nobody will even notice it in 1.000.000 apps market. That's the truth of life.

[Q] Android game recommendation

Hi.
I'm looking for a game to play in the long term. No specific genre but strategy is nicer.
It has to be a game that I can let go of the phone at any moment, preferably with low battery consumption.
Previously I played Guardian Cross, wasn't very nice in the battery but I could let go of the phone with no problem, but now is ending so I need a new game.
Tried Rage of Bahamut but didn't like the presentation.
Anyone know anything like this?
The game is to play at work in dead times where at any moment I might have to let go of the phone.
Also I don't want to say MMO but something that I have progression and doesn't have any real ending. It's hard to explain.
Thanks in advance.

You're more likely to receive more answers there. It's also good to look through the off-topic section for such things before creating a thread on something that already exists.

Although maybe only Game Dev Story might fall under what i want (I already play minecraft), the project Y seems a very interesting full scale RTS that I didn't know about (I was looking for one for my tablet earlier). Many thanks

Hi. Thanks for the reply. While I was searching I didn't went to the offtopic section because I thought that a question about android apps wouldn't be asked there. But I see your point. The thread you recommended is games in general for everything so if I don't find something I like I will ask there. Thanks for the heads up

Air hunter is a nice game. But it's more of an action title. It's hard to play on-off-on. I want it for playing at work in dead times.

Very nice game. It's very close to what I need. The battery consumption seem very low and syncs to Google play. But, alas, it has a major flaw. If I lock the screen it loses the connection and I have to restart the app. Since the major thing is that I'm able to let go of the phone at any moment it's almost what I want with that exception.
I'm going to update the first post with more info.
