Angry Birds hits Android this weekend, available now at GetJar

October 15, 2010 By Jeffrey Van Camp

Rovio is releasing Angry Birds on the Android Market this weekend, and the game is already available on GetJar, an indie games store.

Do you have a hankering to hurl birds at fortresses guarded by green pigs with helmets? Well, you’re not alone. Angry Birds has been the best-selling iPhone game for nearly a year, breaking App Store records and selling more than seven million copies. Now Android users can rejoice: the full version of Angry Birds hits the Android Market this weekend.

Those who can’t wait can actually buy it right now, with a bit of effort. Rovio, publisher of the game, revealed today that GetJar, an indie app store for multiple smartphone platforms, has a 24-hour exclusive on the Android version of the game. The game is already available in the GetJar store.

Those who can wait should check out Angry Birds Lite, a free demo version of the game already available on the Android Market. The demo is fairly lengthy with 14 levels to play through and should give anyone a good idea of what the game is about. We got hooked on the demo a few weeks ago and must say, while difficult, we can’t get enough. The full version of Angry Birds has 120 levels and will set you back $1.99.

Some fun stats:

Angry Birds is now used more than 65 million minutes per day on just the iPhone.
The game is #1 in 67 countries from the U.S. to Kuwait to New Zealand.
Rovio is already releasing merchandise, and is dealing to develop a movie and TV series.

Deepak Patil at 10:26am 24th September 2011 Angry birds is a great game I read an article saying that 200 million minutes per day are spent on angry birds. I have just created my own physics based game. I would be nice to be as successful as Angry birds. My game has sheep and you need to try and avoid wolves and get them in the pen. Sounds easy trust me it isnt. Check
