Happy Island Facebook game comes back to iPhone/iPad via Island Tycoon

Almost a year ago (July of 2010, to be exact), CrowdStar and Sibblingz launched a paid version of Happy Island on iPhone and iPad. The game cost $0.99 and sold (expectedly) poorly due to the fact that players could simply log onto Facebook and play the game for free (that and it was riddled with bugs). Skip forward to October of last year, and the game was finally made free to download and play, but as it still suffered from bugs and crashes, it was eventually pulled from the App Store altogether.

Skip forward to now, and we see a resurrection of the Happy Island experience with a twist. The new version of the game is called Island Tycoon, and while it doesn't link to your Facebook account (meaning you'll have to start your island over from scratch), it retains the gameplay, graphics, and even soundtrack of its inspiration. You'll be able to download Island Tycoon for free for either iPad or iPhone, and can then start the process of rebuilding the best tourist attraction that you can using a multitude of food stalls, cultural attractions, decorations and so on.


The same basics from Happy Island are retained here, in that your businesses and attractions will gain coins over time and must be cashed out for profits. You can then use those profits to upgrade your businesses to produce more funds over time, or to simply purchase additional items and decorations for your island. While the user interface isn't incredibly appealing (with very simplistic font and a lack of theme retention), at least this game runs fairly smoothly.

In fact, through our time to level 10, I only experienced one complete app crash, when trying to place a food stall that gave me enough experience points to simultaneously go up a level. Sure, any crashing is bad, but no app is perfect, and Island Tycoon has definitely come a long, long way.

Again, you won't be able to connect to your Facebook account, so you will need to start over with this version of the game, and it also doesn't appear as though you can add friends or visit others' island yet either. Island Tycoon has only been around for less than a month, so that very well may be added in the future. In the meantime, you can download the game for either your iPad or iPhone right from iTunes.

The Top 10 Free iOS and Android Games -- November 2011

As Sean Bean-err--Ned Stark would say: Winter is coming. And it's time to kick back on the couch and play some more games to make sure the 10 pounds you took on over Thanksgiving break stays there for the chilly months. The amount of gaming goodness to be enjoyed out there on the cheap is enormous and growing, and we're not just talking Facebook. Free-to-play games (as in, more than mere demos) are becoming more and more attractive to game creators.

Of course, they all have payment structures similar to Facebook and social games, but frequent readers should be used to that by now. With that, we've decided to highlight the best of the best, the cream of the crop each month as it stands on the final day of said month. Here are the top 10 free iOS and Android games (as of this writing) for November 2011:

Top 10 Free iOS Games
1. Amazing Breaker Free
Dekovir Inc. brings an interesting puzzler to the table with a simple goal: Using a few bombs as possible, destroy at least 90 percent of the ice in each sculpture. It sounds easy, but what until those sculptures break off in tiny shards. The game, complete with Retina Display graphics, features several unique bomb types including Ghost Bombs and Helicopter Bombs.

Pictorial2. Angry Chickens
Seriously? Games like this don't even deserve more than this sentence, but we're game: The only thing more uninspired in this game than swapping the word "Birds" for "Chickens" is that there isn't even a type of four-legged farm animal in it.

3. Office Jerk
Fluik's iconic game returns to the top of the charts after an update this month. Now, you can throw Thanksgiving turkeys at the jerk for a limited time, as well as a host of other food items.

4. Monster Magic
Come on, people: Doodle Jump has been there and done that. At any rate, players can send 12 different monsters leaping up endless flights of floating platforms (sound familiar?) with the help of numerous power-ups.

5. Original Gangstaz Rock
If Mafia Wars isn't ... gangsta' enough for you, then Addmired's take might scratch that itch for you. Hey, here's something this game has and Mafia Wars doesn't: Your Momma' jokes--an interesting proposition, we guess.

6. Pictorial
Sergey Vasiliev has created (pictured upper right) what looks to be one of the more interesting takes on connect the dots this writer has seen. Players must guess the shapes presented in clusters of stars in the night sky as a means of training players' spatial awareness.

7. Dream Zoo
Zynga's first zoo-themed game released this month clocks in on the charts at a lower place than we'd expect. That's especially considering, based on an early look at the game, how darn cute it is. Check out our full preview right here.

8. Doodle Devil F2P
JoyBits has released the spiritual successor to its hit Doodle God. As you might have guessed from the title, the game has players do the exact opposite as before: destroy the universe using just basic elements ... like an apple and a human.
NFL Pro 2012
9. NFL Pro 2012
This answer to Madden by Gameloft takes the NFL license and runs with it. In fact, this looks like it plays a whole lot like Madden does on the iPhone. Though, Gameloft does claim to have used motion capture to get those players moves just right.

10. MyTown 2
Booyah's sequel to its location-based city builder was just updated with a slew of social features. Given that our in-depth preview of the game rested on the lack of said social features, this could make MyTown 2 worth a try.

Top 10 Free Android Games
1. Angry Birds
Again, because everything to say about Rovio's money printer has been said ad infinitum, let's highlight some Angry Birds news, shall we? Did you hear that Rovio allegedly turned down an offer from Zynga worth $2.25 billion? Crazy town!

2. Words With Friends
Let's try that same approach with this Zynga Mobile game, because let's face it: The game beat Scrabble to the punch on mobile. Did you hear that Words with Friends launched with the Amazon Kindle Fire?

3. Angry Birds Rio
Hey, the Smuggler's Plane content update just released to this version of the game. So we'd say it's worth checking out. Though, you'll likely have to pay up to access it--but why haven't you done that already?
Turkey Blast: Reloaded
4. Turkey Blast: Reloaded
Ezone.com brings a Thanksgiving-themed game to the table for those that are still munching on leftovers. And who could resist that theme song? Just ... check out the game's page on the Android Market.

5. Angry Birds Seasons
Ooh, here's a juicy one: It looks like the next Christmas-themed Angry Birds update will be called "Wreck The Halls." You can probably expect it some time in December.

6. Fruit Ninja Free
Fruit appears, you slice it and squishy/slice noises ensue. Rinse, repeat and your three-hour flight to Seattle just turned into an hour-long joyride. Halfbrick, how will you ever strike gold like this again?

7. Drag Racing
Pretty much a staple to the top 10 list for Android at this point, Creative Mobile's car racer and customizer simply seems to deliver. Android-owning gear heads: This is the mobile game for you.

8. Shoot Bubble Deluxe
A newcomer to the top 10 list, but not a newcomer to games across the board, City Games's latest is a futuristic take on the bubble-bursting sub genre. At least there are a few gameplay modes and a global leaderboard, right?
Defender
9. Defender
This may be just another tower defense game, but boy does it look good. Droidhen's take on the "defend your castle from monsters" sub genre is a refreshingly handsome one at the very least, with numerous flashy power ups.

10. 3D Bowling
Italy Games's approach to everyone's least favorite sport returns to the top 10 list. And for good reason: The game looks stunning (for a bowling game), has detailed stat tracking and packs online leaderboards for the competitive types.

Which of these games do you plan on downloading to ring in the winter with some fun? What games do you hope make it on the list next month?

Angry Birds for PC

Finally, those birds that everybody likes has arrived on PC. After iPhone, iPad, Android and other mobile versions, also iPhone cases and toys, Angry Birds has finally arrived on the PC thanks to the Intel App Up store.

Overall it’s pretty much an identical game play experience to the iPhone app, with some minor differences. It’s snappy, gorgeous, and it sounds amazing. On the netbook version you use a mouse or trackpad instead of touch. There is an open hand icon when the mouse is in hover state, and a closed hand icon when you are clicking or dragging. This visible clue when pulling the slingshot is a nice aid. It allows you to fine tune shots more than just observing the angle of the slingshot band.



Angry Birds for PC


Larger screen means more visibility in the game. On many levels you can see the target that can’t be seen on the iPhone. The previous shot trail is more easily seen, allowing fine tuning of your next shot. Overall the animations and physics seem to have more fluidity.

In terms of features, options, menu etc it’s pretty close to the original. On the netbook the replay level icon has been added to the game space. So you don’t need to pause first then replay. If you start off with bad shot, just click the replay icon, then you can start over. Saving a click is nice. There is a Menu button in the Pause menu that gets you back to the Start screen. There are some things not in play on the netbook version. The leader board and achievements are not available in the main menu. The Golden Eggs are there.

Angry Birds strikes an interesting balance of repetitive, simple tasks and challenging game play working for the many scenarios. So, if you liked this game on your iPhone or Android phone, you’ll sure like it on your big PC screen. If you are new player, don’t hesitate and join the fun now.

You must know and recognize the game from the Rovio, Angry Birds.

This game consists of seven birds with super abilities are different. By using slingshots, you can control the jump and the height of ill-tempered birds to tear down the building where the collection of green pork fat is shelter.
