HandyGames unleashes platforming match-three hybrid Happy Vikings onto the Android Market for free

Pillage people

| May 27, 2011

HandyGames, which has carved quite the niche for itself in terms of free ad-supported gaming on Android, has just released its latest title onto the Android Market - Happy Vikings.

The game is an odd mixture of platform jumping and match-three gaming, with your, presumably happy, viking leaping over a longship, picking up objects catapulted from the shore, and matching them up.

Happy Vikings launches with full support for the Xperia Play’s buttons, but is also designed to run happily on all Android devices running 1.6 and above (pretty much everything, then).

As with all HandyGames titles, there’s both a free version with ads (link) and a non-ad version, although the latter version is available only as an in-app purchase (89p).

You can check out the game in motion below.

Will's obsession with gaming started off with sketching Laser Squad levels on pads of paper, but recently grew into violently shouting "Tango Down!" at random strangers on the street. He now directs that positive energy into his writing (due in no small part to a binding court order).
