Story & Themes

The main premise of Angry Birds is that the pigs have stolen the birds' eggs, and the birds are trying to get them back.

The player aims birds at pigs and their fortresses, attempting to both smash the pigs and destroy the structures for extra points. This is same gameplay as most Angry Birds games.

Save Points

The game saves every time a level is completed.

Difficulty

Angry Birds is simple to play—the only actions are dragging and tapping. However, it gets very challenging in later levels. The player has a limited number of birds with which to destroy the pigs, and it can take many, many tries to defeat a level.

Heads Up!

Violence Angry Birds is not a violent game. The cartoon pigs explode in a puff of smoke when you hit them.

Consumerism Angry Birds is part of a series of games that now has toys, TV shows, and other products associated with it. The free versions of the game generally have ads for other games.
