Angry Birds Video Game Series
The bestselling series of casual puzzle and arcade games is hugely popular, especially among smartphone and tablet users. The series is the flagship brand in the portfolio of Finnish studio Rovio Entertainment.
The origins of the series are associated with mobile devices manufactured by the Apple corporation. Released in 2009, the game Angry Birds was downloaded from the AppStore 12 million times, which provided Rovio Mobile developers with the funds needed to prepare conversions addressed to other hardware platforms, including PCs and, in time, popular consoles. Over the course of nearly five years, the series lived to see six installments - Angry Birds (2009), Angry Birds Seasons (2010), Angry Birds Rio (2011), Angry Birds Space (2012), and Angry Birds Star Wars (2012), as well as a special version of the game on social networks and a spin-off Bad Piggies (2013).
The plot of the games in the series Angry Birds generally has only a vestigial character. The titular angry birds must face the green pigs that threaten their eggs.... The feathered heroes will stop at nothing to save their unhatched chicks.
The gameplay is characterized by the simplicity of the control mechanisms, but the challenges posed to the player can be demanding. The game involves shooting with a slingshot at pigs located on various types of structures. The role of projectiles is played by angry birds. The main difficulty is to choose the right direction and force for optimal flight trajectory. In addition, individual types of birds differ in such properties as mass or the amount of damage caused, and in some installments of the series more complicated laws of physics also come into play (e.g. the state of weightlessness in Angry Birds Space).
Series Angry Birds is distinguished by its cartoonish visual style. Two-dimensional graphics also abound in various types of humorous animations, and the whole aesthetic experience is complemented by an ear-pleasing soundtrack.
It is estimated that the games of the series Angry Birds have been downloaded (paid or free) more than 1.7 billion times. The brand's extraordinary popularity goes far beyond the video game industry. Among other things, the angry birds have lived to see their own toys, comic books and picture albums, and even an animated series. Characters from the game also often appear in advertising campaigns for various products and services (such as the Bing Internet browser ad).
