The developer of Angry Birds has confirmed it is hatching a lighter version of the game for Android. As if the popular feathered friend-flinging game needed more players, Rovio has announced on its blog that more Android devices will now be supported.
Angry Birds for Android currently only devices running version 1.6 or above of the Google OS, and many devices such as the HTC Hero, HTC Dream, HTC Magic, Samsung Acclaim and T-Mobile G1 aren’t officially supported. Rovio hopes to rectify this with the lighter version of Angry Birds it is working on. The developer assures us that it doesn’t intend to lighten the gameplay or cut levels in the version for lower-end devices.
So far, we have hesitated to create multiple versions of Angry Birds for the Android platform. But judging by the feedback we have received, we feel that by providing a lightweight solution, we are doing a favor for our fans.
