Flinging, lobbing, throwing in an arc to destroy or target something. Sounds familiar? Hint #1: Rovio. Hint #2: Birds. Hint #3… well you do not need another hint, do you? I am talking about Angry Birds, the world wide phenomenon that made us love the temperament avian.
Angry Birds has been downloaded three hundred million times, two hundred million minutes a day are spent playing this game and Rovio, the developer is now estimated to be worth just below one billion dollars. No wonder more and more developers are making games that are similar to Angry Birds.
Love a good bird-flinging game? Check out these iPad games that are like Angry Birds.
1. Chicken Balls HD
While Chicken Balls sound like food, this game is a hillarious rendition of an Angry Birds game. First off, the sound effects are funny, with children yelling “yay!” when you win the level or yelling “awwww” when you lose. It also boasts the fun fun fun FARMAGEDDON(!!!) feature where if you collect all the eggs in the level, farm animals rain down the sky for massive level destruction.
Chicken Balls also combines several elements that are not found in a typical Angry Birds game, like Peggle-style panchiko obstacles and the use of power ups, such as anti-gravity!

2. Monkey Bongo
.
Could be the most creative rendition of the Angry Birds core mechanics, Monkey Bongo starts off much like another Angry Birds clone, but late in the level, will reveal that it offers more than just flinging a banana to a toucan. You can throw coconuts to destroy a few environmental elements that block the banana’s way to the toucan, you can also pass the banana to another monkey and you can also move the monkey. A little hard to explain, so please just watch the video above.

3. Snappy Dragons
Snappy Dragons is the iPad game that is closes you can get to an Angry Birds game. Not only that it uses the same game mechanics, it also shares the same goal to complete each level: destroy all the bad guys. The main difference between Snappy Dragons and Angry Birds (aside from this one features dragons) is that the first one gives you an optional level aim — free the baby dragons.

4. Bullistic
If Snappy Dragons is the closest iPad game, then Bullistic is the closest if we are going to talk about iPhone games. While this game never has an iPad version, it is the only game in the list that is free to download. Have fun flinging bulls to fine china stores! (hint: shake your device while in the level complete screen…)

5. Fun With Death
Yup, the title is correct. This game features the grim ripper flinging imps to souls to correct a mix up of sending the wrong people to the afterlife. Now, you would have to destroy red souls and protect the blue ones. The main difference between this game and Angry Birds is that instead of destroying everything on the screen, you would have to avoid harming some.

6. Fragger
Fragger is a port from a Miniclip flash game to the iPad. The aim of the game is to lob grenades to terrorists to blow them up to kingdom come. The game physics has one catch, though, the grenades will never explode unless it stops rolling. Therefore, to dispose of the bad guys, you must carefully plan your throws. Fragger is arguably the most challenging among the games similar to Angry Birds.

7. Ragdoll Blaster 2
Ragdoll Blaster is the most casual among the list, as you can complete levels in just a minute. The objective is simple, you use a cannon to lob rag dolls onto targets that are on the screen. The game features a lot of fun stuff, like black holes that suck in rag dolls, teleportation devices, ice blocks, etc.
