The former Angry Birds team seeks to strike gold again with Monsu, its new mobile game

Boomlagoon, a Finnish game studio that the creators of Angry Birds started, wants to show that it can still make some magical and wildly popular game characters that millions of mobile players can enjoy. So the Helsinki-based game studio is unveiling more details of Monsu, a game with adorable monster characters.

If Monsu has even a small measure of success enjoyed by Angry Birds, which more than 2 billion people downloaded, the game would be a big hit. But it may be difficult indeed to duplicate the sensation of the birds-versus-pigs physic game created by Rovio, where Boomlagoon’s founders worked. Players have seen many such games in the past few years, and no one can predict which will prove the most popular.
