Trying to figure out what exactly was put into the magic formula that now makes Rovio worth roughly a bazillion dollars is something worth exploring. Would it have been as enjoyable if it were Angry Marmosets? Would millions of people have still downloaded Angry Llamas? Who knows? The bigger mystery is why Gameloft hasn’t ripped the idea off wholesale just yet since that seems to be what they do. It’s a shock that we haven’t seen them release Perturbed Parakeets, in which brightly colored birds use a t-shirt cannon to shoot other birds at various awaiting livestock.
If you’re reading this, then it’s quite likely that Angry Birds has made you an angry nerd at some point. If not, what are you waiting for?
