Angry Birds Fight! - Pirates, Matching & Battling Action - iOS Game Review

The latest game in the Angry Birds series, Angry Birds Fight! - is a match-3 game, with bird-fighting action, whacky accessories items, set on the seas traveling to the uncharted islands!

The matching part of the game is similar to other popular games like; Candy Crush, Bejeweled, ect... where you match up 3 or more items of the same in a row - but this being Angry Birds, this game has a twist. Matching up the birds actually powers-up your shield and attack - which you use to battle your Angry Bird with other real opponents from around the world. 

Angry Birds Fight! features a bit of a pirate theme, as explore the uncharted islands with your birds on a boat. Collect and attach different items to your boat to make it stronger - which will come in handy when battling the pigs! 

Fight! is structured into different stages (islands), and levels, each with many battles required and Pig battle challenges to win.

The game features; Red Bird, Chuck (Yellow bird), the Bomb bird, Stella (who can be purchased using Gems or by 'helping out' your Facebook friends), The Blues, and Matilda.   

The Birds can be unlocked via different methods, and can be leveled up with experience and made more powerful by attaching accessories - which can also be leveled up.

Other than battling other people, there are also 'Boss' battles - where you face off against a Pig and his ship/boat. 

My dislikes include: when the game matches you against someone who is 5 or more levels higher than you (even though they are not impossible to beat). The lack of ability to easily gain more accessory items for your birds. And the lack of coins, which you only gain when battling a Pig and his boat or from selling an item. 

I have to say, this is the first Angry Birds game since Angry Birds Go! That I've actually enjoyed playing. If you like the Angry Bird characters, action / fighting, and those candy / jewel matching games - Angry Birds Fight! Is the perfect blend. I recommend you check it out. 

Angry Birds Fight! Is free to download, with in-app purchases available, for iPhone and iPad. Download it now from the App Store.

Make Your Own Flappy Bird Game In 15 Minutes With Simple Drag-And-Drop Tools

Code.org is helping kids to learn coding by developing their own Flappy Bird game. The creation method,

takes you through a simple "puzzle", drag and drop "code" blocks process to build the game.

The puzzle's for example are like; "The "when Run is clicked" block allows you to run code when your game first starts. Try setting the level speed and flapping to the target."

You can then see a 'set speed block' that you can edit the speed, and drag and drop to the 'When Run is clicked' block.

Then you would test your game, see if you made the right choice, and proceed to the next 'puzzle'.

It's a nice fun way to introduce kids, or adults, to coding. Although, I bet developers wished it was really this easy to make a game!

Flappy Flying Apps; Flappy Miley and Flying Cyrus for iPhone / iPad

The fascination with these type of games, that from now on will always be known as 'Flappy' games, continues...

Many developers are creating their own versions of the game, and a lot are rising to the top of the App Store charts. 'Flappy' games have used birds, obviously, fish, ducks, evil birds, turtles with jetpacks, and so on...

A couple of developers have drawn their inspiration from other sources than the animal kingdom. They two apps are: Flappy Miley Wrecking Ball Pro By Storm Factory, and Flying Cyrus - Wrecking Ball By Talo. I'll start with which one was in the App Store first, according to their release notes.


Flappy Miley Wrecking Ball Pro

This game which uses the same playing style, as the now removed Flappy Bird, app, features a female 'flapping' through the sky dodging pipes. The character, 'Miley', flaps hers ears to fly, as she flies with her tongue out.

Flappy Miley is currently FREE to download, available for iPhone and iPad.



Flying Cyrus - Wrecking Ball

This app, Flying Cyrus, is a little more creative, as they've gone the extra mile to add in the wrecking balls.  Same flappy game play. Touch to 'flap', dodge obstacles...

Flying Cyrus is FREE to download, and is available for iPhone.
