Toby Moses is transformed into a bunny monster by the latest apps

What is it with app developers and their obsession with all things avian? Hardly a week goes by without some sort of mobile bird-related fun being unleashed, whether angry or, increasingly, nude – as the multitude of explicit apps available in the unregulated Android marketplace demonstrates.

At least with Hungry Chicks (Apple App Store, KadaMedia, 69p) there's a benign underlying theme. You control the mother bird attempting to feed worms to younglings in their various coloured homes. Tapping under the bird flaps it around the screen, avoiding various spiky obstacles to fetch food and return it to the matching coloured nest. The correct number of worms should go to each youngling, however, since once you've landed there's no second flight, so they must be collected in the correct order.

Torture Bunny (App Store, Clickgamer, 69p) is an entirely less wholesome proposition, putting the player in the guise of sadistic rabbit botherer. You place various blades, boxing gloves etc around a dungeon, before unleashing a crash test bunny and seeing what damage is caused – the more pain, the more points. It's a novel idea, but the dubious physics means near identical trap layouts result in varying scores. Let's hope these are problems that can be sorted, as there's something satisfying about putting a bunny through the wringer during the morning commute.
