Speaking of that screenshot, it was taken on a Mac Pro with a 27” Cinema Display (2550 x 1440 resolution) to give you an idea of how the company is using the increased resolution for desktop screens. Other changes include the presence of the pause and start-over controls being omnipresent on the screen, as you can see in the upper left corner of the screenshot below (in iOS, one must tap the screen to get said controls). If you’re wondering how a game designed from the ground up works with a mouse (no keyboard necessary), the mouse cursor merely becomes a cartoon finger - left-click and hold to grab a bird, move your mouse where you want it, and release the mouse button to fire your bird.

The news that everyone has been waiting for is here at last: You can now play Angry Birds on your Mac. Angry Birds Reloaded features familiar physics-based gameplay from the original game.
