About Angry Birds
Angry Birds is a physics-based puzzle game developed by Finland-based Rovio Mobile. It was first released for Apple’s iOS in December 2009. The game quickly became a massive hit due to its simple yet addictive gameplay, charming characters, and engaging level design. Since then, Angry Birds has sold over 12 million copies from just Apple’s App Store and has expanded to other platforms, including Android and, of course, Windows Phone 7.
The game involves launching a variety of birds with different abilities at structures populated by green pigs. The goal is to destroy all the pigs on the level using the fewest number of birds possible. The game’s physics engine ensures that each level can be approached in multiple ways, adding to its replayability.
Why the Delay?
The delay in bringing Angry Birds to Windows Phone 7 can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, Rovio had to ensure that the game was optimized for the Windows Phone 7 platform, which has different hardware and software specifications compared to iOS and Android. This required additional development time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for users.
Additionally, Rovio likely wanted to capitalize on the existing success of Angry Birds on other platforms before expanding to Windows Phone 7. By focusing on iOS and Android initially, Rovio was able to build a strong brand and fanbase, which would, in turn, drive demand for the game on other platforms.
The arrival of Angry Birds on Windows Phone 7 is a significant milestone for both Rovio and Microsoft. For Rovio, it represents the continued expansion of their popular franchise to new audiences. For Microsoft, it demonstrates their commitment to providing a diverse and engaging app ecosystem for their users.
The release of Angry Birds on Windows Phone 7 is a welcome addition for fans of the game and Windows Phone 7 users alike. With its addictive gameplay, charming characters, and challenging levels, Angry Birds is sure to provide hours of entertainment. So, if you haven’t already, head over to the WP7 Marketplace and download Angry Birds for just $2.99.
