Why is the movement line in the first panel curved?

'Cause pigs are fat and cause a slight gravitational pull?

Attention to detail for the win!

I played through AB and some of the Seasons stuff but quite frankly I found Bunny Shooter to be more enjoyable and feature some much more compelling puzzles. I also liked the sound the rabbits make when they are crushed and/or skewered.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it either. The game has been done better so many times. God help me if they ever release an iOS version of Gunbound, though.

It's a play on "Pigs in Space" from the Muppet Show.

Yeah, I know. You're only supposed to stretch out "space," though.

For those who despite all things Gawker Media, here's a whole lot on the game at AngryBirdsNest.

Looks fun. And by fun I mean frustrating.

Except that's not how the original Muppets did it, they stretched the entire title out.

You need to go back and watch more Muppets. They stretch out all the words.

Angry Birds is not creatively bankrupt, at all. Nope.

The future of gaming: so glorious.

I enjoy it, and think this evolution of the gameplay looks really fun.

That's said, the only thing I want an iOS port of more than Gunbound is Nanaca Crash...

Well shiat.. Where did I get that from, then?
 
2012-03-08 09:18:01 PM
The appeal completely escapes me as well.

Now, Plants vs Zombies? Theres a "play it til my fingers bleed" game.

Yes, it's an artilery./physics ball game, but its fun, and a lot of people enjoy playing it. stop being such elitists about it. and enough crush the castle comments, that game hasn't updated in some three years.

But I'm honestly more stoked that Stair Dismount updated today and I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

Of course the concept has been done before. Long ago, even. The difference is the execution. Angry Birds has slick graphics, variety in gameplay, tons of levels and a constant stream of updates. All the little birds have their own personalities and abilities. Look at it this way: A tennis match is run of the mill. A tennis match between William Wallace and Captain Kirk on the LA freeway, using sawed down banjos and a breast implant is a lot more interesting. And why? Because of all that extra shiat and the possibility for things to go much different than your normal tennis match. Presentation is important, and Angry Birds has a cool presentation.

Still waiting for someone to make a Scorched Earth clone that addresses these things.

Yeah, i get the hate on Angry Birds for being derivitive, it is. BUT, whats one of the most successful game company in the world? Blizzard. Have they ever done anything really new or innovative? No. What they are fantastic at is polish. Taking a whole bunch of mediocre ideas and implementations and making something great out of them. Polish goes a very long way. Yes crush the castle was first. but its boring! Angry birds has bright colors, merchandisable characters (i was out shopping last weekend and saw 3 different kids in angry birds hats, i want one!), catchy music... Do not underestimate polish.

That would be the awesomest "eatsr egg"; at some point, have that module orbiting a planet.

Yes please.

Angry Birds Seasons has been the best money spent in this franchise. Lots of holiday updates, currently it's Cherry Blossom levels. It's nice to play for a few days beat the levels and a months later get a fresh set of levels.

That's pretty much what Gunbound is.

So much this. I hate people who expect me to like the games they like, or play them the way they play them. It's my time, money, and entertainment, so fark off.

We've had artillary style games like this for ages, but suddenly someone puts cute little animals in it and everyone is like SQUEEEE! I think this is one of those things that is only popular because it's popular. Just wait until they come out with Angry Birds cereal, or Angry Birds the movie. It's going to happen.

You guys sure read a lot out of "I didn't care for it", project much?

If you look at the game, it involves space physics, which sometimes involves planetary gravity.

Old enough to know better: The appeal completely escapes me as well.

Why do people go into threads for games they know they don't like, only give a bunch of strangers their opinion that no one gives a shiat about?

Angry Birds is the best babysitter a stressed-out parent could ever hope for. Will be buying this one the day it comes out.
