Over 50 levels, players are tasked with bombarding the island’s beaches, cliffs and snowy slopes with birds, to destroy the pigs’ structures.
A statement about the game explained: “Viewing the 3D levels through an iPhone or iPad, players can walk 360-degrees around levels to find weaknesses and hidden items, and when they are ready, line up the perfect shot with intuitive onscreen controls – walking in close to get precise, or stepping back to gain a better view of the destruction.”
Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs is free to download now from the App Store. It remains unclear when, or if, its developers plan to launch a version for Android.
