Thanks to Russell, I’ve found my newest app addiction: Angry Birds. Apparently, some green pigs have stolen some birds’ eggs, and guess what? The birds are angry and coming with a vengeance.

This game is like having Boom Blox for the iPhone, with a similar “throwing things at things” dynamic. You’re trying to destroy the pigs in each round, reaching them through their fortresses of ice, wood, and stone. You launch a series of birds at the structures, trying to bring them down and crush those pigs.

The dynamics change from round to round as you’re presented harder structural challenges and birds with different abilities. Just as you feel bored with the basic bird, suddenly there’s a bird that can split into three birds. When you’re thinking you could use a more high-powered bird, viola! One appears. And yes, there will be explosions.

Not sense Peggle have I found an app so fun for the whole family. For those hard rounds, have fun passing the phone back and forth to see who can conquer it first.

All of this is yours for $0.99. What’s a slick beauty like this doing in the dollar store, you ask? Don’t question it. Just buy it.
