How do I run Angry Birds?

I see that there is an HTML version of Angry Birds. How do I use it? I'd also like to have the icon on my launcher so I can run it as it's own application.


  1. In chromium-browser go to Angry Birds

  2. Click on the wrench icon and select ToolsCreate Application Shortcuts...

It's just a webpage. Firefox 4.0.1 (what should ship in Ubuntu 11.04) plays it fine, albeit a little bit slower.

Play the BETA version. (Only the 63 levels of stage 1 and a few bonus levels.)

To make an ad-hoc launcher, when using Firefox, merely drag the favicon in the address bar to your desktop.
