Rovio has announced its next new game after Angry Birds Space – but it’s actually not a new game at all and there’s not a furious featherling in sight!
The Finnish mobile software creator and the company behind the addictive avian app games recently snapped up Snappy Touch and Mystery Coconut – no, it’s not an obscure hardcore punk rock band. It’s actually the development company behind a game called “Casey’s Contraptions” that was released for Apple iPad a little over a year ago. Rovio has confirmed that this game will be the basis for a new version that will be renamed and rereleased by Rovio as “Amazing Alex” at some point in the near future.
“Casey’s Contraptions”, like Angry Birds, is an addictive puzzler which requires players to assemble clever tricks and traps and setting up which allow Casey to retrieve his missing toys, while delivering maximum carnage and destruction – something not unfamiliar to an avid Angry Birds fan! You, like us, may be reminded of the film “Home Alone” while constructing the complex contraptions from household objects as well as slingshots, pipes, magnets and a whole host of random items available on each of the games 70 plus levels.
After massive successes with the Angry Birds series and countless cash-ins, can lightning strike twice with “Amazing Alex” when Rovio puts its magic into the mix? We’re expecting this one to arrive on Android and Apple iOS gadgets within the next two months.
