Angry Birds POP Blast

Angry Birds POP Blast (Formerly known as Angry Birds POP 2) is a bubble shooter puzzle game in the Angry Birds series and a sequel to Angry Birds POP!. The game was first soft-launched to select countries on March 30th, 2019 then released to others on April 12th, 2019. It was later released in the United States on May 24, 2019. As one of the very few games where Birds and Pigs are working together, the game is set after the events of The Angry Birds Movie 2, where the Birds and Pigs put their newly formed alliance to use after the end of the Great Egg War and Zeta's Invasion, combatting an unseen, mysterious threat.

Gameplay
Angry Birds POP Blast is a bubble shooter that plays differently than the first game in that players take control of both one Bird and one Pig, as they work together to accomplish the level goal. The Bird has a special bubble-destroying ability that is only available once its rage meter completely fills as red feather bubbles are popped. The Pig also has a supportive ability that is ready to use whenever his skill bar is filled completely by popping green snout bubbles.

Completing levels awards tokens that can be traded in for piñatas modeled off of Billy the Sign, which are then destroyed to obtain character cards, power-ups or extra lives. Character cards are used to unlock and level up characters, boosting one of their stats every time they level up. Players earn up to 3 stars for a level based on score, and there is also a special piñata that can be opened after a total of 30 stars are earned.

If the player runs out of ammunition before the objective is completed, the player can pay a sum of Gems to get some extra bubbles to continue. If that is not possible, a life is lost. Lives each take 30 minutes to regenerate, and once all lives are lost, the gameplay is halted for some time until lives are regained or purchased.
