The Angry Birds franchise is still gaining momentum with a movie that's set to release and now the Angry Birds Arcade skill game that's hitting arcades everywhere soon enough. Designed to bring the classic app game to life, the Angry Birds Arcade game doesn't require cunning moves on a touchscreen but rather has users using interactive handles and levers.
App gaming is no doubt a popular form of entertainment, but the technology lacks a certain level of physical interaction for players to enjoy. As such, innovations like the Angry Birds Arcade skill game are coming about to offer users a real-life version of apps they're accustomed to playing.
While chain restaurant and gaming emporium Dave & Busters had an exclusive release for the Angry Birds Arcade game, it's now available for other brands to have in their arcades.
