Angry Birds: Now Available on Web


If you are asked what the most popular game in iPhone or in Android, you might answer in no doubt that it's Angry Birds. On Wednesday (5/11 2011), Google I/O keynote day 2 revealed more info about Google Chrome, and Chrome OS. They talked about the latest updates and improvement that had on Google Chrome including more HTML 5 supports, 3D CSS, better hardware acceleration, etc. Of course, they also invited Rovio and made a version of Angry Birds that can be played on the web.

Rovio says this version of Angry Birds includes many types of new-gen technology and they say it's written mostly in Java and other Google API's.

Since Angry Birds is on the web, what happen if you want to play it offline or somewhere that doesn't have internet access? No worries. The browser will automatically cache it to your local drive. Which means, you can still play it even if you don't have available internet.

If your computer supports hardware acceleration, you can have better experience playing Angry Birds in HD version. But again, if your computer doesn't support it, they still have SD version that's in Canvas 2D.


If you are using Google Chrome, you can download the Angry Birds App through Web Store, or here's the download link. It's not like everybody uses Google Chrome. People other than these 160 million chrome users use IE 9, Firefox 4, Safari 5, or Opera 11. You can still use this website to enjoy your game.

For Google Chrome, to enable GPU acceleration, type about:flags in the address bar, and then enable GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D.



There are special levels that are designed just for Google Chrome. In order to play them, you need to get chrome bombs in the regular levels.


By the way, I'm not sure if you are interested in this, there are cheats for Angry Birds.

javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'3'); i++; } window.location.reload();


This Javascript code allows you to unlock every level, and I mean every level in Angry Birds.


javascript: var i = 1; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'-1'); i++; } window.location.reload();


If you feel like you are cheating and it's not right, enter this code and the game will revert back to the original state.


To use these codes, simply copy and paste on the address bar and hit enter.


Let's go out and pop some pigs!!
