Rovio Acquires Casey's Contraptions for Its Follow-Up to Angry Birds

Rovio has announced that it's acquired the IP for the game Casey's Contraptions from Snappy Touch and Mystery Coconut, reports TechCrunch. The developer teased the news at the end of its 1 billion downloads video released yesterday.

The original game is no longer available on the App Store. Rovio's Ville Heijari, VP of franchise development, told TechCrunch that the new title will arrive this summer on iOS and Android, "extending to further platforms rapidly after that."


"Working with [developers] Noel and Miguel has been fantastic, and this is a game that we all fell in love with from the first play," Heijari wrote. "The gameplay is a perfect fit in our arsenal with its approachable, fun and highly addictive take on the physics puzzler genre."

Rovio is currently reworking and rebranding the game, and "getting ready to re-introduce it in a true 'expect the unexpected' Rovio-style launch to an even larger audience."
