Gameplay - Even though the game was bought from independent developers, Rovio has made some changes and given it their addictive Rovio touch. The gameplay is to use household items to set off a chain reaction and achieve the objective of the game. The goal is to collect all stars while completing the objective.

The first few levels may seem very easy but actually its kind of tutorial for you to learn the gameplay. The Classroom(First room) may look very easy but the game gets tougher by each level in The Backyard room. In free lite version you can play only The Classroom. There are totally 112 puzzles and 336 stars to be collected.

Game Physics - The game physics is the topic lot to be talked about. This game uses Box2D engine for physics engine. By the way Box2D is open source, so if you want to make a game using it, just go visit this site - http://box2d.org/


The game uses the best of the game physics. Till now I haven't seen a flaw in the game. The game music goes in hand with game and gives a good feel.


Game Graphics - Game has beautiful vector graphics. The game allows to pinch zoom like angry birds.
