I’ve always had a love hate relationship with Tiger handheld games. When I was a kid I was easily swayed by their slick commercials promising an arcade in the palm of your hand. Time after time I got them and time after time I was disappointed by an over simplistic repetitive piece of code turd inside a promisingly attractive shell. I know part of the blame rested on me, I mean fool me once... So the other day I began wondering what had happened to them and dare I say it, I missed them.
So in honor of the dead, I decided to do a few updated classics starting with my favorite Angry Birds. While drawing it I came up with a defined set of gameplay ideas while staying true to the Tiger formula, a little bit of the license and a lot of crap gameplay. So here we go!
-------------------------------------------
Instructions:
- Use the Directional Pad to select the trajectory of the bird’s flight.
- Hit the fire button to launch your bird.
- The pigs will dance back and forth so it’s up to you to time your drop perfectly. Hit them all and advance to the next level, but be warned, they get faster and harder to hit!
- You have three birds, once they are through it is game over!
- If you collect a golden egg you will get access to the Mighty Golden Eagle! A Golden Eagle advances you to the next level.
- Since this is a Tiger game, there is no ending, the game loops past world 4-18.

I’m set to do at least one more so if you have an idea for one, let me know in the comments!

Oh and thanks to www.logotypes101.com for the Tiger logo, not having to recreate that in Illustrator is a blessing!

Frewin Court, Oxford. I only had time for a quick walk around Oxford tonight, but came across this alley off the main shopping street.
In the not too distant past, our rabbits and I made a few little critters to drum up a little dough to pay for their pet cat’s mounting medical bills. Probably because we channeled a whole bunch of positive energy into them, they feel pretty good to look at.
Then I realized they feel pretty good to hold, too. Their asymmetrical shape is a bit anatomical—they seem to fall right into the crook of the hand. I soon noticed that my hands, when idle, went straight for one. Familiar like a well-worn blanket or other childhood treasure, they’re quite cuddly. Best of all, they don’t snore.
As usual, these little sweeties contain the standard materials: recycled wool, cotton, and buttons and hypo-allergenic poly-Dacron fiber fill. Healthy for both people and the environment we live in, they’re lovely gifts for anyone who needs a little comfort every now and then.
