PadGadget: Boomlagoon is sure to be a name that will be mentioned a lot in tech news over the next few days. Three former Rovio employees founded Boomlagoon, which is the creative team behind the most popular game in the App Store, Angry Birds. Why is this new game company going to be the new hotness, you ask? Because they’ve just launched their own mobile video game and it is just as cute as the bird-flinging physics-based phenomenon. Don’t worry. Noble Nutlings is not an Angry Birds rip off. It is more like a Tiny Wings rip off, but whose paying attention.
MacWorld: Cute cartoon animals, physics-based puzzles, and a star-based rating system—sound familiar? Noble Nutlings for iOS is a bouncy, cart-swerving drive down memory lane. Boomlagoon, an indie team that happens to be made up of many ex-Rovio (of Angry Birds fame) developers, is the development brains behind the physics-based Nutlings. The interface, art style, and the build-a-contraption and obstacle course gameplay mechanics are reminiscent of Rovio's recent venture, Bad Piggies.
148apps: Is Noble Nutlings really the next Angry Birds? That's a matter of opinion. However, it *is* a fun casual game.
Gi - Noble Nutlings is the first game release from Boomlagoon, a company started by ex-Rovio employees. Yes, that Rovio. The same Rovio that unleashed the fowl-flinging, swine-slaying phenomenon known as Angry Birds. Considering the widespread popularity that their previous game was able to achieve, Boomlagoon’s founders certainly have a lot to live up to.
