Angry Birds Lite Beta now in the Market

We’ve known for two months that the crazy popular iPhone game, Angry Birds, was on its way to Android, and today is the the big day! Well, today is the big day for a “Lite Beta” version, anyway. Initially, Rovio Mobile had intended a private beta for the app, but response was so overwhelming that the dev company decided to make it available to all of us.

The 11.1MB download challenges the player to launch a host of birds that are capable of various attacks through the air via slingshot at barricaded pigs; the monsters that stole the birds’ eggs. Based on my experience with the iPhone version, I can say that the graphics are stellar, the sound effects are hilarious, and the gameplay is addictive. When you search the Market for “Angry Birds,” be sure to grab the app from Rovio Mobile, as someone else has posted an impostor.

Testing with the EVO 4G, the app crashes for me after the splash screen. Anyone else having luck?



Rovio’s websites are down at the time of this writing.

keep trying to open it on the EVO. Eventually it opens and runs fine. Looks great on the big screen after playing it for so long on my ipod touch. Once this is up and running in a full version, I'm not sure what I will need my ipod for anymore.

Cant find on mt3g or captivate

Great Game - works perfectly on Motorola Milestone.

can't get it on my rooted xperia x10 on uk o2

I have a Hero, and I can't even see this in the Market. I even tried a QR code. It seems that you need 2.2 to play this.

I TESTED ITON THE MOTOROLA DROID AN WORKS PERFECT NO PROBLEMS AT ALL GREAT GAME IT DONT EVEN FREEZE OR NOTHING JUST GREAT THANKS

Works on mytouch slide, and works even better on Samsung Vibrant. Run through the whole game on the mytouch slide, almost done on the Vibrant!!!

Can't find it on my Hero. Anyone got a QR?

The game launches maybe 1 out of 10 times launched on Evo 2.2.Too bad, but runs solid, and is very addictive if you can get it to launch!

it is only for certain phones? still nothing on the mytouch 3g.

this game is too addictive lol #mytouchslide

I actually got a hang after a reboot and launch. I had to reboot again to get back to the home screen.

seems to work on my hero with cm6 2.2. seems to run slow though.

Yup....crashes on EVO so hopefully a fix will be out soon. Might be related to Froyo

Works on the EVO after a restart.

When i search for it three results come up and non of them are the right one. Anyone else having this problem?

Cant find the app in Market with my Galaxy S but have got it on HTC Desire and enjoying. I wonder why the issue with Samsung Galaxy S. Anyone else having same problem?

Yep, I can't find it on my Vibrant.
