Chillingo's Licensed Woody Woodpecker Game is a Twist on Indie Hit Tiny Wings

Chillingo’s Woody Woodpecker, a new mobile game based on the popular and long-running cartoon character, has been selected by Apple as the iOS App Store Game of the Week. According to our traffic tracking service AppData, Woody Woodpecker is yet to make a splash in the charts, but its prominent placement on the mobile App Store will give it a considerable amount of exposure, particularly for the low price point.

Woody Woodpecker may not seem like the most timely license, given that the redheaded bird’s last appearance on TV was in 2002, but Universal’s internal studio Illumination Entertainment, previously responsible for Despicable Me, is reportedly developing a Woody Woodpecker movie, which might at least partly explain renewed enthusiasm for the bird and his iconic laugh.

Gameplay in Woody Woodpecker is similar to popular iOS game Tiny Wings.
