Mobile games developer and publisher, Ojom, announced the launch of a new horror adventure game full of action and suspense, called "The Birds - Evil has Wings".

Based on the classic Hollywood thriller, "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock, the mobile game transports the player to a spooky town where a flock of vicious black crows have encircled the helpless townsfolk. The gamer's mission is to rescue the town's citizens from the shredding claws and razor sharp beaks of the sinister birds. Players need to be cautious though as these birds don't take prisoners and if they make one false move, they'll be torn to pieces.

To distract the birds' attention, players can create diversions by setting bins afire or opening the valves of fire hydrants, while other tactics involve freezing on the spot as they swarm by. Protection from the evil clutches of the birds can be found in the safety of a parked car or by hiding in a giant garbage container. Gamers have the whole town at their disposal and must use it wisely to defeat the sweeping menace. Stealth and cunning is the key to this game and the only way to outwit the threat circling above.

Bertram Pecher, Manager Sales & Operations of Ojom, believes that the game will appeal to a wide array of gamers: "We are delighted with this game and believe that the plot and the strategic element will appeal not just to gamers, but mobile users everywhere that have a taste for thrillers and suspense."

"The Birds - Evil has Wings" will be available from February 2007 on all main Java-enabled handsets and from major mobile operators in a range of European languages.
