Love your Android phone, but hate that your addiction to the game Angry Birds makes you harbor some resentment for it? Well, worry no longer! In just a few weeks Android users will have a full version of the application at their fingertips. Angry Birds has been on the top of Apple’s paid applications list for a long time, and Android users have had to settle for a lite version that only has 15 levels. Not for too much longer though!
The wildly popular app is a typical destroy the castle type of game. The story behind the game is the pigs stole the bird’s eggs, and the birds are attempting to rescue them with your help. You’re equipped with an angry bird and a sling shot. There are six varieties of angry birds, each with special abilities, which can be acquired as you progress through the game. The goal is to perfect your aim to get at the pigs inside the structure and cause the most destruction. Points and stars are awarded for getting the job done using fewer birds or being overly destructive. Visit youtube.com for a full trailer of the game.

With Android’s wide range of screen sizes, developers are finding programming difficult. That’s what they are pointing to as the reason for the delay.
Once finished, the app will be very similar to the iPhone version, but will not include the “mighty eagle” plug-in. Not all devices support apps with in-app purchase options.
Future versions of the game may allow users to transfer game files between devices. iPhone and iPad users have been bugging for this feature, however Android phones make sharing files and data much easier. So, the feature may be available on the Android front sooner than iPhone and iPad.
For those who just can’t wait for the full version, get the lite version for free at the Android marketplace. The lite version runs as a beta, and developers are asking users to report any problems, so they can be repaired in the full version of the game.
