Angry Birds is a video game franchise created by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Entertainment. Inspired by Crush the Castle, the first game in the series was initially released in December 2009 for Apple iOS. As of October 2010, 12 million copies of the game were purchased from App Store. The company then released ports of the game for other touchscreen smartphone operating systems, including Android, Symbian and Windows Phone. The franchise has since been expanded to include video game console and PC ports.
Angry Birds has been praised for its successful combination of addictive gameplay, comical style, and low price. Its popularity led to many spin-offs, versions of Angry Birds being created for PCs and gaming consoles, a market for merchandise featuring its characters, and a lot more featured below. In January 2014 there had been over two billion downloads across all platforms, including both regular and special editions: as of July 2015, the series’ games have been downloaded more than three billion times collectively, making it the most downloaded freemium game series of all time. The original Angry Birds has been called "one of the most mainstream games out right now", "one of the great runaway hits of 2010", and "the largest mobile app success the world has seen so far". An animated feature film, The Angry Birds Movie, based on the series was released by Columbia Pictures on May 20, 2016, and the first main-series sequel, Angry Birds 2, was released on July 30, 2015.
Overview
Angry Birds games consist of birds who need to be flung on a slingshot in order to defeat pigs on in a structure or tower. There are 10 birds in the original game, the first five that are named are the members of the original flock, which are Red, a red bird who is the leader of the flock, Jay, Jake, and Jim - three small blue birds who can destroy glass very well, Chuck, a canary who can destroy wooden blocks and planks and can accelerate to great speeds, Bomb, a black bird who can explode and cause significant damage to structures and stone, Matilda, a chicken who can lay an exploding egg, Hal, a ''Boomerang Bird'', who can be flung all the way to the back and come back like a boomerang, Terence, a huge red bird who is commonly assumed to be Red's big brother (but actually not), who is a large bird who can do lots of damage when didn't speak, Bubbles, a cute little orange bird who can inflate into a huge size, Stella, a pink bird whose bubbles could make some blocks and materials fly, and finally the Mighty Eagle, a large majestic bald eagle who is the last resort if the player fails the level which completely clears the screen of pigs and could destroy the entire structure, being summoned with a sardine. The birds' enemies are green pigs, who are, Minion Pigs, clueless dumb pigs who are the most common pig in the game, Corporal Pig, a strict pig who commands the clueless minion pigs into doing things, a Mustache Pig, or a Foreman Pig, who is notable for his long orange mustache, and King Smoothcheeks, better known as King Pig, who is encountered at the end of each episode and the main antagonist of the Angry Birds Series. However in Angry Birds Rio there are no pigs and are instead Marmosets and Nigel. In Angry Birds Space, the birds, except Matilda go to space and don space costumes. an Ice Bird is featured; which has the power to freeze pigs and items, and an egg as well. In Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II, its sequel, the characters are dressed up as Star Wars characters and exclusives are added as well, reenacting the Star Wars film series. In Angry Birds Seasons, multiple new characters are introduced, for an example: Bubbles (originally) and Stella (originally). The only playable Seasons-exclusive-bird is Tony, Terence's cousin from Finland. Also, multiple holidays are celebrated. There are also other Mighty Creatures like the Mighty Dragon from Year of the Dragon (Angry Birds Seasons) - which is summoned by a Red Koi Fish, and the Space Eagle from Angry Birds Space - which is also summoned by a sardine.
History
Jaakko Iisalo's original sketch that started one of the most successful apps in history.
In early 2009, the staff of the broke company Rovio Entertainment Corporation began reviewing proposals for potential games. One such proposal came from senior game designer Jaakko Iisalo in the form of a simulated screenshot featuring some angry-looking birds with no visible legs or wings. While the picture gave no clue as to what type of game was being played, the staff liked the characters, and the team elected to design a game around them. In early 2009, physics games, such as Crush the Castle, were popular flash-based web games, so the Rovio team was inspired by these games. During the development of Angry Birds, the staff realized the birds needed an enemy. At the time, the "swine flu" epidemic was in the news, so the staff made the birds' enemies pigs. Angry Birds was the studio's 52nd produced game and on its initial release, the game didn't sell many copies. After Angry Birds was a featured app on the UK App Store in February 2010 and quickly reached No.1 there, it reached the No. 1 spot on the paid apps chart in the US App Store in the middle of 2010 and then stayed there for 275 days. The initial cost to develop Angry Birds was estimated to exceed €100,000 ($113,724.90), not including costs for the subsequent updates. For the iOS version, Rovio partnered with distributor Chillingo to publish the game to the App Store. Chillingo claimed to have participated in final game polishing, such as adding visible trajectory lines, pinch to zoom, pigs' grunts, birds' somersaults on landing. Since then Rovio has self-published almost all of the later ports of the game, with the exception of the PSP version, which was produced under license by Abstraction Games.
When Rovio began writing new versions of the game for other devices, new issues came to light. As the team began working on a version for Android systems, they observed the large number of configurations of device types and versions of the Android software. The number of combinations of software version, processor speed and even user interfaces was significantly larger than that for the iOS version. Ultimately, the team settled on a minimum set of requirements, even though that left nearly 30 types of Android phones unable to run the game, including some newly released phones. It was released on October 15, 2010. One month after the initial release on Android, Rovio Entertainment began designing a lite version of the game for these other devices.
In early 2010, Rovio began developing a version of Angry Birds for Facebook. The project became one of the company's largest, with development taking over a year. The company understood the challenges of transplanting a game concept between social platforms and mobile/gaming systems. In a March 2011 interview, Rovio's Peter Vesterbacka said, "you can’t take an experience that works in one environment and one ecosystem and force-feed it onto another. It's like Zynga. They can’t just take FarmVille and throw it on mobile and see what sticks. The titles that have been successful for them on mobile are the ones they’ve built from the ground up for the platform." The Facebook version incorporate social-gaming concepts and in-game purchases and entered beta-testing in April 2011; the game became officially available on Facebook in February 2012.
Improvements for the game include the ability to synchronize the player's progress across multiple devices; for example, a player who completes a level on an Android phone can log into their copy of the game on an Android tablet and see the same statistics and level of progress. Later games were released like Angry Birds Halloween, which later developed into Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Space, a game which takes place in space and introduces a new bird called the Ice Bird; Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II, which are based off the popular Star Wars film series, Angry Birds Go!, a racing game, Angry Birds Epic, an role-playing game where birds actually kill pigs, and other games as well. Eventually a sequel to the main game was released that was called Angry Birds Under Pigstruction, which is now called Angry Birds 2.

- Main article: The Flock
.The protagonists of the games are wingless birds. The most well-known of them (and the leader) is Red. They are collectively known together as the ''Flock''.
A list of birds in the games:
- Main article: The Flock
| Bird Name | Real Name | Special Ability
(More info: Strengths and Weaknesses) |
Image | First Appearance | Personality | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Bird | Red | Angry Birds Classic: Squawks
Going to a targeted area when tapped, accelerates like Chuck Topples Pig Fortresses with his aura of anger |
Poached Eggs 1-1 | Red is a natural leader: strong willed, outspoken, and decisive. Knowledgeable and self-confident, he can intimidate other people who may mistake his confidence for arrogance. | ||||||
| Blue Birds or | Jay, Jake, and Jim | Splits into three and does good damage to Glass | Poached Eggs 1-10 | Quick and inventive, Jay, Jake, and Jim keep their friends amused with their latest mischief. They enjoy arguing and especially playing devil's advocate. Being such the creative types, they can have a hard time focusing on tasks - especially when they feel tedious or routine. But when they do focus, they're resourceful and inventive problem solvers. | ||||||
| Yellow Bird | Chuck | Speeds up when the screen is tapped, does great damage to Wood | Poached Eggs 1-16 | Chuck is a free spirit and prefers to operate without rules or routines. He longs for challenges and excitement and prefers to focus on the bigger picture. He can be a bit impulsive - while everyone else is still talking, he likes to get out and take action. | ||||||
| Black Bird or | Bomb | Can do great damage to stone; explodes causing significant damage to structures
Conducts electricity and causes an electric shock (Short Fuse) |
Poached Eggs 2-5 | Bomb is a doer. While other people get tied up with theories and rules, he's out there getting things done. Sociable and exciting, he loves being the center of attention and entertaining people with his antics. | ||||||
| White Bird | Matilda | Drops an Egg Bomb, with her second corpse speeding upwards diagonally | Poached Eggs 2-14 | Matilda is calm, friendly, and sensitive. Her open-minded and accepting nature makes her easy to like, and her tend to play the peacemaker with her friends. She is a perfectionist and trusts her gut when it comes to making decisions, so she doesn't always appreciate outside advice. | ||||||
| Green Bird or | Hal | Acting like a boomerang when screen is tapped, most effective at the back of structures | Danger Above 6-4 (encaged)
(first playable appearance) |
Understanding and sociable, Hal makes his voice heard but is also a great listener. His social nature and great conversational skills earns him a lot of friends. On the flip side, his people pleasing personality means that he takes criticism especially hard. | ||||||
| Big Brother Bird or | Terrence or | Destruction, angrily snarls when screen is tapped. He has a cousin named Tony who lives in Finland. | The Big Setup 9-1 | Terence is the strong, silent type. Logical, level-headed, and rational, he has a keen analytical mind. His introspective nature can make him seem distant from others - but he, in turn, is sometimes baffled by how irrational and emotional others can be. He best works when he's left with his own thoughts, or when interacting with other people who see things in the same way he does. | ||||||
| Orange Bird | Bubbles | Inflates into a huge orange ball | Ham'o'ween 1-4 | Bubbles is quiet but friendly, always happy to pitch in and help. His sunny outlook and loyal, considerate nature makes him a great friend. He prefers to focus on the bright side of life, so he can get overwhelmed by anything overly complicated or negative. | ||||||
| Pink Bird | Stella | Traps herself into a bubble and makes blocks and items float | Back to School | Stella's the star of the show and the bird all the others look up to. She may look cute and cuddly, but don't be fooled - if you push her too far, she'll soon reveal her blazing-hot temper! that's just how she rolls, sweet on the outside, and fierce on the inside. | ||||||
| Poppy | Unknown | Tornado Dive: Spinning rapidly downwards, "drilling" through blocks
Line Pop: Clears a row of blocks (Angry Birds POP!) |
Branch Out 1-12 | "Poppy's wild, mischievous and crazy as a coconut! She lives life in the fast lane and is the group's comedian - she loves playing pranks to make the other birds laugh. She's definitely an attention seeker and the group sometimes loses their patience with her if she takes her practical jokes too far (like the time she dressed Dahlia up as a pig when she was sleeping). Poppy doesn't really like being alone and always wants someone around to talk to because she really likes the sound of her own voice! As the musician of the flock, she's a highly skilled percussionist and her trademark is banging away on any object with her drumsticks to create bangin' beats." | ||||||
| Luca | Unknown | Soundwave Shock: Fires a sonic boom towards the area tapped (Angry Birds Stella)
Sonic Pop: Drops bubbles in an area where a special pop was hit (Angry Birds POP!) |
Branch Out 1-23 | "Luca is the youngest of the flock, and also the only boy - just don't call him a baby! He's as playful and inquisitive as you'd expect a young bird to be, and loves exploring. However, this does cause problems when he wanders off and doesn't tell anyone. Luca thinks he's bigger than he really is - a fact that has got him into trouble a few times already! While he doesn't talk much, he certainly does like imitating everyone (and everything!) around him. He can sound like any of birds, pigs, or even any of the island's critters - and he really enjoys doing it!" | ||||||
| Willow | Unknown | Vortex spin: Arc in mid-air then spin through blocks
Splash Pop: Transform bubbles into the next bubble color |
Branch Out 1-23 | "Willow's a lover not a hater and also the artist of the flock. She lives in her own 'Willow World' - as a daydreamer she often has grand ideas, but can't always follow through! It ruffles her feathers to see those pigs behaving badly and destroying their habitat. Although Willow is a free spirit she's also the shyest of the group, and feels safest when wearing a large, over-sized hat. While her shyness is an endearing quality, it sometimes holds her back from expressing her true feelings. However, when those piggies are around, she certainly comes out of her shell!" | ||||||
| Dahlia | Unknown | Science-Fu: Phasing through solid objects and spinning after reaching the target
Science Pop: Clear blocks in a column (Angry Birds POP!) |
Branch Out 1-47 | "Dahlia is a science guru and Golden Island’s one and only gadget geek! She loves experimenting with different materials and inventing useful structures, often with explosive results (don’t mention the solar powered tree house warmer). She’s a gardener too, and enjoys creating new species of exotic plants. Dahlia is pretty impatient, and gets pretty angry if anyone disturbs her experiments or if the results don’t work out as planned. But hey, who cares if things go wrong. Dahlia simply keeps trying until she gets it right. #commitment" | Gale | Unknown | Paints selected area with golden flower dust and swipes through it (Angry Birds Stella)
Command pigs as blockers (Angry Birds POP! before v2.33) Royal Pop: Transform bubbles into Royal bubbles (Angry Birds POP! after v2.33) |
Angry Birds Stella cutscenes | ||
| Blue Terence or
Big Blue Bird |
Tony | Slams forward blocks when he becomes a corpse. He is Terence's cousin who lives in Finland. | On Finn Ice 1-2 | Tony is the strong, silent type. Logical, level-headed, and rational, he has a keen analytical mind. His introspective nature can make him seem distant from others - but he, in turn, is sometimes baffled by how irrational and emotional others can be. He best works when he's left with his own thoughts, or when interacting with other people who see things in the same way he does. | ||||||
| Grey Birdor | Silver | Does a 360-degree loop and then violently crashes into the ground | Depends on player, Angry Birds 2 | Incredible bird with a goofy sense of humor and incredible flying skills. | ||||||
| Ice Bird | Unknown | Turns surrounding blocks (and pigs) into ice | Cold Cuts 2-3 (encaged)
Cold Cuts 2-4 (first playable appearance) |
Unknown |
