For a spot of festive fun, Penney Designs has created some spoof screenshots of Angry Birds as though it had been released in the '90s. Inspired by Worms and Lemmings, the blocky pixel art take us right back to days gone by. Touches like the power and wind monitors are adorable but make us glad to be able to use the touchscreen to angle the disgruntled fowl rather than a D-pad.

The company is also working on a multiplayer version of the original game, with David Selle commenting, "Multiplayer...

MiniSquadron is another one of those games that feels perfectly designed for mobile phones.

You control the direction of your plane with your left thumb and shoot with your right. Controls are super-smooth and incredibly easy to pick up.
