Popular iOS Game “Saving Yello” Makes Its Way to Android

by: | posted 02.02.12 | Games, News, Videos

YouTube Preview Image

Saving Yello, another successful iOS game has made its way to Android this week. At first glance, I was convinced that this was just another Angry Birds knock-off, but once I watched the video and looked into it a bit, you can tell that it’s much more. And having been downloaded over 1 million times on iOS, we wouldn’t certainly hope it’s more than a slingshot destruction game.

The goal of the game is to launch a fish back into the safety of his bowl, but you will need to accomplish tasks on the way. Destroying toys, grabbing power-ups, and using physics to your advantage are all a part of the game. It’s free if you want to get a 10-level taste with an in-app purchase of $.99 to unlock the rest.
