‘Angry Birds’ is a wonderful online video game designed and developed by the Finland based application entity Rovio Mobile. In December 2009, ‘Angry Birds’ was first released for Apple’s iOS. A wonderful combination of addictive game play, comical style and low price has led to the soaring sales of this unique online video game. Since the time of its launch, 12 million copies have already been sold from the Apple’s Application Store. And now, the Angry Birds game is also available as an app for Google Chrome.
After major world epidemics like bird flu and swine flu, Rovio Mobile’s Jaakko Lisalo (lead designer) and Minter Réaveu came with the idea of a unique game where pigs stole eggs from birds and how it causes chaos between the two creatures. Since birds are the most loved creature in Finland, the RED BIRD, CUCKOO BIRD and the WHITE BIRD are the prime characters in this online video game. Players use a slingshot to launch the birds in order to hit the pigs in the playfield and destroy their structures. As the game progresses, new birds keep coming with more features and abilities making the game even more interesting.
‘Angry Birds’ is available in two versions in the market – the first one has been specially designed for personal computers and the other one is for gaming consoles. Achieving stars at each level of the game happens to be the most addictive element of the game. There are loads of secret levels and aspects of the game that keep you enthralled and entertained. Each type of bird and pig has their own quirks and mannerisms that make the game fun for all. The materials used in the creation of each structure all have significance because not all birds can topple that particular material.
The popularity of the game has forced Rovio Mobile design different versions of the game for smartphones, especially those which use the Android operating system. Till now, ‘Angry Birds’ is considered to be one of the most mainstream games and the most successful mobile application. Unsurprisingly, Angry Birds has also become one of the most popular apps for Chrome in the Chrome web-store.
