Angry Birds (game)

Angry Birds is an application for the iOS, webOS, Android and Maemo mobile operating systems. It was released by Rovio Mobile and made in Helsinki, Finland. The objective of the game is to eliminate pigs and destroy their buildings and structures at the same time. This is done by the birds launching themselves out of a giant slingshot and hitting the pigs' various constructs, henceforth eliminating them. Each level allots the player a certain number of birds, which must be used in the order provided.

Birds
There are currently eight different styles of playable birds., shown in the order they are first presented to the player. Each bird has a different ability, such as being able to boomerang back on itself, splitting to three, or exploding, these abilities are activated by tapping the screen while the bird is flying. Below is the list of birds.


 * Red Bird - does nothing but does make a yell when tapped and does great at popping pigs.


 * Blue Bird - splits into 3 birds that do great on glass when tapped.


 * Yellow Bird - picks up speed and distance and does great on wood when tapped.


 * Black Bird - explodes when tapped or upon inpact and does great on stone.


 * White Bird - drops an egg bomb that explodes on impact when tapped and does great on wood and glass.


 * Boomerang (Green) Bird - comes back like a boomerang when tapped and does great on wood and glass.


 * Big Brother Bird - Same as the Red Bird, but with much greater strength


 * Orange Bird - inflates to huge size like a balloon when tapped or upon impact and deflates a little later.
 * Mighty Eagle- you first launch sardines and when it hits the ground, the Mighty Eagle will come down, destroy everything in it's path hit the ground and cause an earthquake, popping all pigs he missed, then come back up, while also destroying everything in it's path; kind of like a V but wider. He must be purchased in-game for 99 cents to use him. It's unlimited use forever except for Angry Birds Friends.
