What is Angry Birds (Series)?

Angry Birds is a casual puzzle video game franchise created by Finnish company Rovio Entertainment. The first Angry Birds game was released in 2009 for iOS and has since expanded to multiple sequels, versions for many platforms including consoles and PCs, and even a full-length animated movie.

In the Angry Birds games, players use a slingshot to launch birds at various structures made of wood, glass, stone and ice that contain green pigs. The basic goal is to destroy all the pigs on each level. As players progress through the games, new types of birds with special abilities become available, as well as different types of pigs with varying defenses. The level design becomes more complex and challenging as well.

The games utilize a physics engine that simulates the trajectories and collisions of the birds and structures realistically. Players must take into account gravity, momentum, trajectory, structural integrity and the birds' abilities while aiming their shots. This physics-based puzzle gameplay combined with the lighthearted theme and character design is a large part of what has made Angry Birds so hugely popular across a wide range of audiences and age groups.

Since the first game's release, Rovio has expanded Angry Birds into one of the most lucrative and recognizable mobile gaming franchises in the world, with over 12 billion downloads across its various titles as of 2016. Its characters and style have even inspired an animated feature film, theme parks, merchandising and more.
