Downloaded this morning from Android Market (free!) and went an extra 2 stops on the Metro this morning because I couldn’t stop playing. I had gotten bored with Angry Birds early on in the _Rio_ iteration, but this one is different enough that it’s relit that fire. I’m trying to not pick up my phone and play more, I have work to do! ---

I had to keep myself from downloading it this morning, knowing I wouldn’t get any work done. But I know how I’m spending my night. ---

Does it require wifi to download? I hate how some of the new updates did. ---

23 MB, but I’m downloading it now over 4G. Wait, never mind, it’s done. Love 4G. Faster than wi-fi. 🙂 Now I know what I’ll be doing during timeouts in the basketball games tonight… ---

Whoo, thanks for the update! Will definitely find this. Argh…3 bucks for Kindle Fire. I know it’s worth it, 'cause I played the other ones free, but…maybe later. ---

Definitely gives new life to a what had become a tired game. Loving it! ---

I’m finding it to be harder than the original game. It’s a lot more difficult to figure out exactly where you should aim, and being off by just the slightest amount can spell the difference between three stars and failing the level. Has anyone figured out what the ice birds are supposed to be good for? They freeze everything around them, which I would assume would make those objects more brittle… but I’m not seeing a huge difference. ---

Gah I’m already stuck on one of the frozen levels. Rassa frassa… ---
