Angry Birds Comes To Your Browser

If you do not own a iOS or Android device and you’re jealous of all your friends playing Angry Birds and you just can’t figure out what the appeal is, not to worry as the game has been ported over to the Chrome browser!

Rovio, the developer who created the game, made use of Google’s Web Toolkit (GWT) to create the web-based version of the popular game and is currently hosted on the Google App engine.

As of now the game is currently in “beta” but still open for download and for free too. The game will also come with additional levels available only for the Chrome browser. Peter Vesterbacka is quoted as saying “We didn’t want to compromise on performance. We haven’t been able to bring this to the Web. It hasn’t been possible until today. We are bringing Angry Birds to the biggest platform out there, the Web.”

So for all those out there wondering what the hype and fuss is all about, just head on over to Google Chrome’s webstore and find out.
