This matching puzzle game stars fish and other aquatic creatures as they journey out of the water, onto land, and start apparently matching fruit together in order to consume as much as they can. Unlike most puzzlers, this game seems to put as much emphasis on the special characters as it does the puzzle grid. Each of the characters also have their own unique abilities that can help enhance...

The makers of the Angry Birds,lans to terminate as many as 260 employees in a restructuring that gets the studio back to its core businesses after a period in which it “did too many things,” according to its CEO.
