Angry birds creator Rovio is pairing up with DreamWorks to release an iOS game based on DreamWorks' upcoming animated movie, The Croods. The movie, which will be released in theaters on March 22, stars a caveman family.

Based on Rovio's description, the game version of the movie sounds like a cross between a Farmville-style village simulation and Pokemon.

thecroods

This all-new game finds the Croods breaking out of the Stone Age with the use of a new revolutionary tool: the IDEA! The Croods will Hunt & Gather their way through spectacular new landscapes as they tame fantastic and never-seen-before creatures. Help The Croods survive the wild…and each other!


The Croods for iOS is set to be released on March 14.

... Rovio is now in the same market as Zynga, now? It sounds and looks horrid.

... And we know how that worked out for Zynga.

I agree, this looks atrocious. Rovio is starting to look like a one-trick ... Uh, bird.

They made a whole movie based on making fun of Cro-Magnons?

Those poor ancestors of ours battled megafauna and frostbite in the harshest of conditions. We Homo-Sapiens deserve to treat our fore-bearers with reverence not derision.

A cross between Farmville and Pokemon, eh? Why don't they just cut to the chase and say it's a remake of Monster Quest by Gree? How's Gree doing, BTW? Oh! Forget I asked.
