Everyone loves the beautiful, harmless creatures called birds. Rovio Mobile knows this and mfakes them the main characters in their popular game, Angry Birds Classic. However, they’re not the adorable winged darlings you’ve always known. These are bomb-releasing chickens! Don’t worry; it takes a doom-destined pig stealing their eggs for you to see that fiery side of them.

To call them explosive chickens will just be right. They topple one building to another, releasing bombshells on the thieving green pigs. Even the most magnanimous buildings get caught in the fire, and the carnage is a joy to behold. With over 3.9 billion downloads since its first release, the game has amassed tremendous success – thanks to its simple yet enthralling gameplay.

A Story of Angry Birds versus Bad Piggies

The plot is set in Piggy Island, which stands on its own from the rest of the world. Red leads a flock of birds that stand their guard to protect a nest of three eggs. Not so far away is King Pig, with his team of pigs. While this ordinarily shouldn’t be a threatening situation for either party, King Pin wants to taste some eggs – he’s never had any.

When Red loses guard of the eggs trying to kill a mosquito that perched on one of them, King Pin takes the chance and steals the eggs. He does use some help from his top team members. That sets the stage for the ensuing battle of the birds trying to recover their eggs. The game features different episodes, with varied locations, including a desert, a forest, a beach, and even a laboratory.

Easy Gameplay That Immediately Launches You Into Unparalleled Fun

Anyone – from casual gamers to diehards – can play and enjoy Angry Birds. That explains why it’s so popular across the world, ranking atop my platforms. To begin your catastrophic expedition, you load a bird to your slingshot, position for the perfect angle, and release them to raze down the buildings. Those green pigs have nowhere to run. The gameplay is that simple and straightforward.

As simplistic as this may seem, you’d be mistaken to think the game will bore you out. The visual demonstration of things blowing up is immediately satisfying. Besides, there are several effects these terror-laden birds bring to the table. Heavyweight chickens explode and rip off buildings and send them right into the air. The blue chickens will spread their dastardly effect by splitting midair. If you’ve got an egg-laying chicken in your slingshot, expect to release a fantastic piece of a yolky bomb – your enemies don’t deserve better.

If you’re lucky enough, you can get chickens in a certain order that allows you to create a chain reaction. First, release a burrowing hen to permeate the walls of the target building, and then shoot a bomb chicken to do the final damage. Angry Birds Classic would have taken its fun to another level if it allowed you to decide the type of chicken you want to load. Now, you just have to hope a strategic one falls into your slingshot and you complete your strategy.

Over 200 Levels To Keep You Engaged

In Angry Birds, there’s enough to keep playing. That explains the over 200 million hours people dedicate to it daily. The game has over 200 levels, with increasing thrill as you climb up the ladder. Although the reward for completing every mission is the same, the game never pretends to excel on a rewards system. Instead, it has enough physics and other game dynamics to keep you engaged.

Talking about physics, Angry Birds will need your projectile skillset. To get a perfect shot, you have to shoot with the right trajectory. Hitting an excellent trajectory shoots up your score. Again, the real fun is how you set up your angle when releasing the birds. To sling a bird, you’ll have to press and hold the slingshot while pulling the rubber of the sling. You can drag the rubber to both sides, and the longer you pull it, the farther the bird will go. The birds turn on their destructive ability in the air and are fully charged before they hit the target.

You win a level when you destroy all the pigs in it. The levels are divided into different episodes and unlock immediately after you complete the previous one. Each level presents you with some birds for that level, and you better not squander them before defeating the pigs. 

Do So Much More With The Variety Of Birds

There are ten different bird types in Angry Birds, each with unique abilities. Red, the leader of the pack, only makes a battle cry and can hardly do damage to any substance. The Blues can shatter glass, and they split in the air to create a spread effect when you release them. Maltida is an egg-laying bird that excels in destroying a wide range of materials with its explosive eggs. Chuck is another extremely powerful bird that has a specific destructive range for wooden materials.

Bomb is an explosive bird and is your perfect option for destroying stones. It explodes immediately after release, and its effects are far-reaching. Hall can fly in the opposite direction when you tap it and cause a lot of damage. While Terence has no special ability, he has no problem bringing down anything he hits. Bubbles pump up when you release them and can cause tremendous damage to wood. Send a can of sardines to the ground, and you’ll see Mighty Eagle rushing down and taking along everything on its path. Stella has limited destructive ability but still can cause some harm.

The Verdict

Angry Birds Classic is an interesting game that excels in every way. Its simple gameplay is the biggest selling point and now wonder it continues to grow in popularity. The game has over 200 varied levels and different bird types to thrill you throughout the levels. If you want an enjoyable game that won’t tire you out, consider giving Angry Birds a try.
