APPY DAYS FOR LITTLE WING : Pictured: Ariana Loughlin, age 5 gets to grips with Wingin It\u0080\u0099, alongside Little Wing Director Luke Wolsey and University of Ulster students Andy Whann and Inga Hampton. Northern Ireland's favourite pizzeria, Little Wing has launched an exciting new mobile game. The popular home grown pizzeria group partnered with University of Ulster design students, tasking them with creating the design concept for their first ever mobile game, "Wingin'\u0080\u0099 It"\u0080\u0099, which is now available to download free from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The game challenges players to make pizzas from the Little Wing menu; gamers must catch toppings on a winged pizza base as they fall from the sky whilst avoiding hitting any pesky clouds. This is the next stage in a series of ongoing investments in Little Wing'\u0080\u0099s digital offering, following the launch of its new website www.littlewingpizzeria.com earlier this year. The new Little Wing Wingin'\u0099 It\u0080\u0099 game is available now for free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
