Those sneaky Angry Birds, they almost slipped this one by us. Early yesterday morning, Rovio unleashed Angry Birds Stella POP! (Free) onto the world at large after a soft-launch period which began in late January. Angry Birds Stella POP! is a bubble shooter not totally unlike Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble, but probably more closely aligned with something like King’s Bubble Witch 2 Saga (Free). It utilizes the characters and settings of the latest Angry Birds spinoff series, Angry Birds Stella (Free).

So if you ever found yourself saying “You know, I love bubble shooter games, but they totally need more Angry Birds in them" then you’ll want to run–not walk–to your nearest App Store and download Angry Birds Stella POP! immediately. I am actually a long-time bubble shooter fan and could never really get into the Bubble Witch Saga games, so I’m actually interested to see how this one turned out. For more on the game, be sure to hit up the thread in our forums.
