### 4/5 — Not bad angry birds clone

*2025-07-09, version 1.3.27*

I remember making a joke 1 star review when I was a kid but here is my honest thoughts of it.

While it is basically a clone of angry birds and never reaches the same height as it in terms of quality, I can appreciate that they tried making some things unique, you can choose your own projectiles to shoot (which was kinda like the flash game crush the castle, which angry birds was inspired by) and the new projectiles/monsters are unique.

Overall while a obvious clone of angry birds (even copying the cutscenes), I can appreciate how the devs put a twist to a angry birds clone. 7/10
