Angry Bird game changed

I am delighted to find a new update of Angry Bird... the Mighty Feather level and this is a game changer! All these versions of Angry Birds.. hundreds of levels has the same theme... you shoot out your various (suicide!) birds to destroy the bad piggies. One important aspect of the pigs is that they mostly don't move. You can plan your attack like planning a chess move. You can take your time.

Now in this Mighty Feather levels they will move with their little machines... and will steal your eggs. But you have unlimited supplies of Mighty Feather Reds (but only one kind). Of course to get 3 stars you need to use as few as you can... and if you don't get 3 stars you will be explained.

This is a nice new tweak to a well-played game.

Why is it SO successful? Is there someone researching what makes a successful game. Yes, it's got good graphics... but this isn't crazy elaborate like 3D worlds.. sometimes simple is good. Pac man didn't have truly awesome graphics either. Yes Angry Birds got a great music theme and fun sound effects. This helps. Cuteness of characters! That's important... There are plenty of puzzle games out there I like this one because you are not so time pressured... ok, until these Mighty Feather levels...

Yes I played Cut-the-Rope, nice, but just not as fun and addictive... Candy Crush. oh my, my eyes hurt after a few levels.

Regular Angry Bird would be a lot, gosh lot deeper if you can change the order of the birds to launch. So you can use that bomb or accelerating yellow bird first before the wimpy simple Red.

Here is the GRANDDY of Angry Birds: Gorillas throwing banana in DOS.
