“I find myself unable to get ‘angry’ at this game, or frustrated. Common emotions of my Nintendo days. There are no tricks I have to learn, or quirks of game control, or hidden combos I need to find in GamePro. No cartridges to blow on, so to speak. Each puzzle’s logic is self-contained and self-manifest. Here are your birds, here’s your slingshot. Kill the pigs. You have to be responsible and economical with your attacks. But you can also take your time. It feels a lot like putting golf balls, or installing wall shelves. You can drink a beer in between shots, for instance, or take an important phone call. The birds are angry but never impatient. The flipside? If you can’t beat a level, you have no one to blame but yourself.”
