NaturalMotion’s excellent rendition of the classic social party game Jenga has arrived on the Android Market, having already built a very well-reviewed home on iPhone and iPad.

Jenga for Android is, for all intents and purposes, exactly how the game works in real-life, with an incredibly detailed physics engine whirring away to calculate the exact density of each of the blocks in the tower, so that every move has a realistic effect.

We all fall down

The idea is to use the touchscreen to extract a wooden block from the tower before carefully placing it on the very top (hopefully without knocking everything down in the process).

The Android version of Jenga comes with the same modes that graced the Pocket Gamer Bronze Award-winning original over on iPhone, with a special Arcade mode that relies more on pace and combos than the normal highest tower game.

Jenga for Android is out now on the Android Market for $2.99 [link], (although in some markets it's erroneous showing as $3.99.)
