"We are disappointed that Apple has taken such a harsh stance on what we and most people that have played the game find funny, entertaining and certainly a witty use of political satire." Angry Elections is an Angry Birds inspired, physics-based mobile game that lets players choose a political party to sling, ding and wing at opposing parties. In addition to its simple and addictive gameplay for launching political candidates' heads at their adversaries, the game deploys original audio sound bites from the 2012 presidential candidates and politicians. At the end of every level of game play win or lose, these politicians and presidential candidates recite memorable exclaiming quotes. Play as a Republican, Democrat or even an Occupied Movement member. Levels including President Obama, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and the colorful cast from the Occupied Movement are only available in the Pro version. Enjoy launching and defeating characters in this historical upcoming presidential election, illustrated in animated cartoon glory.
