Play Angry Birds (sorta) on your Mac

Angry Birds has been a phenomenon on the iPad almost from Day 1. The birds are angry because some pigs stole their eggs. They go after their enemy by slingshotting through the air and destroying the pigs’ defences.

But what if you don’t have an iPad? Or maybe you have one, but you’d like to play it on your Mac. We don’t normally link to Flash games, because there are so many of them we could never keep up. But in this case, we’d like to draw your attention to Crush the Castle — a game available for the iPhone, but with a free Flash version you can play on your Mac.

It’s not as cute and fanciful as Angry Birds, but the basic principal is the same. You click to gather one of eight projectiles in a trebuchet (similar to a catapult), then click again to release it in the correct trajectory to destroy the defences of a king and his soldiers.

It looks like Crush the Castle has been around for awhile, but I haven’t been able to learn much about its history. If you can fill us in, please leave a comment. Also, I’m surprised there isn’t a native Mac version of the game — it seems like a hole a developer could easily fill and make a few bucks.

Update: A Mac version of Angry Birds is now available at the Mac App Store for $4.99. At least Crush the Castle is free . . .

  1. There are 2 versions of Crush The Castle. The newest one is titled Crush the Castle 2 (go figure), and contains more projectile types than the previous version. Both of these versions can be found on the internet on various flash gaming sites. There is also a lite version available in the app store.
