Cancellation
On September 5, 2016, it was announced that the game would be officially canceled on October 8, 2016, due to the adjustment of product structure platform. It's also due to Rovio's contract with Siamgame was expired. On September 6, 2016, the game was removed from the App Store and Google Play and recharge was turned off, making the game practically impossible to play without IAPs or hacking to get the VIP and recharge rewards.
