Spare a glimpse for our list of 7 games like Angry Birds if you feel the title has entertained us long enough and it’s time for a radical change of settings, plot and characters. We’re also going to argue that Rovio’s Space encounter may still not feel like a huge breath of fresh air to some. So if you’d rather not steer out of your comfortable gameplay zone and want to dabble in titles very like Rovio’s offerings, here’s just what the doctor ordered –
1. Crush the Castle
In lieu of irate birds and cowering pigs, this one from Armor Games features medieval period style warriors who stand guard in and around wooden castles. The idea of the game is conveyed pretty well by the name itself – you have to fire off your trebuchet, which is a catapult-like weapon, to crush these castles. iOS as well as Android device users can indulge in this shooting sport for free. The iTunes version pulls in two cool new weapons called the Moonstone and the Murder of Crows as well as 36 fresh levels.

2. Angry Farm
While Rovio only got the colorful birds angry, this one in our collection of games similar to Angry Birds, has irked the whole farmyard. Featuring over 200 levels for BlackBerry and 120 levels for Android, the title has many an angry goat, pig, hen and cow, out to defeat the evil foxes that have overtaken their territory in the absence of the farmer. Every domesticated creature possesses special powers, just like the game it took inspiration from. And the bouncing pig and the hen which splits into three are just the beginning of the ride.
