Angry Birds developer Rovio announced today that you will see Angry Birds characters appear in a commercial advertising the Rio animated film. The ad represents huge exposure for Rovio, unlike earlier.

The deal displays how quickly a brand can emerge in the digital age. The paid version of Angry Birds has been downloaded million times. That has given Rovio so much brand recognition that it was able to cut a deal with Twentieth Century Fox, responsible for co-marketing Angry Birds with the Rio movie. The commercial will appear in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl today.

Meanwhile, Rovio said that Android smartphone owners in Finland will now be able to buy the Mighty Eagle and other in-game content using its new Bad Piggy Bank payments system, previously announced. Rovio will also issue an update for both Android and iOS devices with the new Super Bowl promo.  

Presumably, the Bad Piggy Bank system could spread beyond Finland. Rovio had to do its own SMS text message payment system because the Android Market was broken. But the Android Market is receiving a big upgrade soon, with the launch of in-app purchases. That starts with the availability soon of the Honeycomb version of Android, or Android 3.0.

Produced by Pawel Aleksander Fedorynski, the Frozen Bubble Android is a Bust-A-Move type of game for Android users. The objective of the game is to clear the bubbles atop the screen by hitting them with another bubble of the same colour. This game has a level editor that can be separately downloaded to create different kinds of shapes and things with the bubbles to make new levels.

High quality and well-done graphics. Game controls contain two different elements that enables aiming and shooting. To aim the machine that shoots the bubbles, simply drag your finger on the screen anywhere below the blue line. To shoot press once on the screen anywhere above the blue line.

 An ad free version costs $1.26, however if ads don’t bother you then download it for FREE.

Verdict: An exciting game that will keep you engrossed for hours. Good job Pawel!

It seemed PacMan returned with a new facelift, with the launch of EVAC HD in the Android Market yesterday. With awesome graphics, amazing gameplay and cool game sounds. I felt I needed to inform my readers about this magical game app.

Priced at $1.56 (£0.99), it’s primarily a PacMan game that has been revved up with powerups, special abilities, humor, knockout graphics and sounds by the game company Hexage.

Here is a brief glimpse of the game that displays the special abilities and plot twists that I mentioned earlier. Like it? Leave me a comment.

The Kumpa Android App developed by greenrobot, a maze puzzle game for the Android platform uses great graphics and accelerometer to guide the ball through each maze during the gamepaly on the Android phone.

The objective of the game is to run over the amount of symbols on the floor with the ball before time runs out. When you run over a symbol, it will turn blue, indicating the ones that are left to be covered. Each level is a new maze and gets challenging as you climb up the levels.

Sounds easy? Wait until you have to win over the different obstacles by manoeuvring around to get the ball rolling over the symbols. Some obstacles will put your game to an end.

Play and experience the adrenalin rush. Need more? Purchase levels for $1.80
