Boasting more than 1.4 million downloads, the App Store gem Bird Strike has received a “featherlite” edition. And by “featherlite,” PikPok doesn’t simply mean that the game has been stripped of gameplay. Instead, players can experience — in full — the gameplay of Bird Strike in the featherlite edition, but can purchase the gold edition if they choose to. Complete with OpenFeint integration, the game offers leaderboards and achievements.

“The Bird Strike community has been very supportive and we want to continue to grow the number of people that are playing a version of the game. By offering this free Featherlite Edition, we can introduce a new audience of players to the world of Bird Strike as we continue to update the gameplay.”

- Jos Ruffell, manager of the PikPok label.

In Bird Strike, players take control of a flightless bird — Gerald — and send him flying as high as possible. Pick-ups on the way up will help Gerald soar even further. Here’s the list of full features in Bird Strike Featherlite Edition, straight from the press release.
