Cut the Birds knocks off ‘Angry Birds’ and ‘Fruit Ninja’ in one swipe

Much like B-movies like The Da Vinci Treasure or Transmorphers that fill stores before the release of major films, the app stores of the world are burdened by similar knock-offs. With search one of the primary ways to find apps, it’s no surprise there are countless similarly named apps for many of your queries — just try searching for ‘Netflix.’ Somehow, SolverLabs’s free Cut the Birds made it into the App Store despite its shameless mashup of three App Store powerhouses: Rovio’s avian cast, Cut the Rope’s name, and Fruit Ninja’s gameplay. This can’t last long.
