Doesn't work for me. I get the music, but the game never appears.

Force update Chrome.

According to Chrome, I'm running the latest stable build (11.0.696.65). I've asked others via Twitter and not everyone is suffering from this problem but some people are http://blogote.com/2011/gaming/angry-birds-doesnt-work-mac.h....

Sounds like this might be the problem http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2538706

Funnily enough, it runs smoother on Firefox than Chrome on my Mac.

same for me :P

Very laggy/jumpy for me.

Plus that damn music keeps playing, even though after I closed the tab with it in!

Why does the interface seem to half take advantage of gestures and half not take advantage. I was able to swipe right and left to get to the bird but when to enable the blue bird multiple drop I had to click. The port seems sort of rushed.

Works great in Chrome and Firefox (both nightlies and q6600/9600gt).

Slow and laggy. MB Air with latest Chrome and OpenGL enabled.

What's your spec? Works great on my Air.

Works fine on Chrome 11.0.696.65 (84435) Ubuntu 10.10. This is on a manky old 2.8GHz single core thing.

It's really impressive that all the graphics are done with the canvas.

The "SD version" is not all canvas — it's a mix of several small canvases and <div>s with CSS transform applied. Try "Inspect Element" on pieces of wood for example.

I wonder how this looks/works on the iPad.

I found a Chrome logo on level 16.

Did you try hitting it?

Indeed, I got 550 points for it.

Check about:gpu if it's slow as hell. On my 3.2 GHz iMac the GPU does not enable when Chrome starts up which is probably because I run dev channel.

Found your problem.

The game works on Firefox 4.0.1 (Ubuntu Natty, from the repos, x86-64). No sound, though. Is there supposed to be sound?

The sound is Flash.

Wow thanks, that explains why the sound wasn't working for me.

Haha that's kind of funny. They go through all the trouble to make a canvas-based html5 game but they won't use the audio tag?

That really pisses me off.

I played through the whole (mediocre) game without sound.

The sounds MAKE this game! They could have mentioned they only did a half-assed HTML5 implementation and used Flash for audio.

Sound works for me. Firefox 4.0.1 (Arch Linux, x86-64). Do you have the codecs for mp3 installed?

boring game

superb :)

thanks.

Here goes productive hours of time. :| Anyway to keep of the temptation? Some psychiatrist here?
