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.


 * 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

Mighty Creatures
 * Orange Bird - inflates to huge size like a balloon when tapped or upon impact and does great on wood, then deflates a little later.
 * Pink Bird - Unknown

The Mighty Creatures are the strongest of the Angry Birds Team. The main objective for using these creatures is 100% Total Destruction


 * Mighty Eagle - you first launch sardines and when it hits the ground or an obstacle, 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. In Angry Birds (Chrome) the Mighty Eagle is included with a free trial.
 * Mighty Dragon (Year of the Dragon only) - you first launch a Red Koi Fish and when it hits the ground or an obstacle, Mighty Dragon will come down in a staircase-like form, and once it catches the Red Koi Fish, he'll loop around, spreading everything in its way, and will fly away. The Mighty Dragon can be used for free in Year of the Dragon in Angry Birds Seasons.

Pigs
The Pigs, the bird's nemesis, are a colossal group of Pigs, and much like the birds, the pigs are also provided in different varieties, shown below:

Rio Characters
 * Small Pig
 * Medium Pig
 * Large Pig
 * Helmet Pig
 * Moustache Pig
 * King Pig
 * Postman Pig (only found on the Pause Menu.)

These are the playable characters that can be found in Angry Birds Rio. These are the Unplayable characters in Angry Birds Rio. Space Characters
 * Blu - spreads everything when tapped on the screen or hitting an obstacle.
 * Jewel - flies straight at the fortress/boss with Blu chained behind her
 * Rafael - Was seen in the cutscene after the boss fight with Nigel at 4-15. He gives the Angry Birds and Blu & Jewel some advice to get Luiz's help to get the chain off Blu & Jewel.
 * Luiz - He's found in level 6-15 as a unplayable, but useful ally. When beach balls or Marmosets fall to the ground, Luiz will chase after them, thus destroying everything in his path. He's also found in cutscenes after both 4-15 and 6-15.
 * Nigel - Serves as a boss in both 4-15 and 12-15
 * Mauro - Serves as a boss in 8-15
 * Caged Birds - These birds replace the Bad Piggies in Smuggler's Den, Airfield Chase, Smuggler's Plane, and some of the levels in both the Golden Beach Ball and the Trophy Room. These resemble more like captives rather than enemies like the Bad Piggies, so when the Angry Birds hit the cages, the Caged Birds are free.
 * Marmosets - These pesky monkeys serves as enemies as well as Nigel and Mauro's minions. They replace the Bad Piggies in Jungle Escape, Beach Volly, Carnival Upheaval, and some of the levels in both the Golden Beach Ball and the Trophy Room.

 * Fat Pigs: The Fat Pig (AKA The BOSS Fat Pig) combs the universe seeking for cosmic food to increase his strength and, of course, his size. There is more than 1 Fat Pig which means most of them serve as common enemies in Utopia and some of the Bonus Space Egg Levels.

 * Minor Character: Fry Me to the Moon: Mustache Pig (Main Antagonist): This Mustache Pig serves more like the Main Antagonist in Fry Me to the Moon than a common enemy due to the fact that his goal is stealing the Space Egg and the fact that he appears in all the levels in Fry Me to the Moon. In 3-10, he can be seen holding the Space Egg captive. Defeat him along with the other remaining other piggies and you've just saved the Space Egg.
 * Boss 3: Utopia 4-30: The REAL Fat Pig: Tries to suck everytihing in his mouth to eat. Hit the popcorn makers to burn the pocorn, burnt popcorn weakens the REAL Fat Pig.

 * Sling Scope: Sling Scope allows you to see where your bird's gonna go before you fling them.


 * Birdquake: Birdquake rumbles the ground in a level and can make pig's structures fall down.

Power Ups are limited, and if you run out, you must purchase more to have more OR...


 * Slot Machine: In Angry Birds Classic, you can play any level daily to receive a FREE daily powerup from the "Angry Birds Power-Up Slot Machine". Whatever you get three in a row from the Slot Machine, that'll be the PowerUp you'll receive. For example, get three Birdquakes in a row in the Slot Machine, you'll receive a Birdquake. Be aware that the Slot Machine goes only ONCE every day, so once you received you're free daily PowerUp, you'll have to wait until the next day to receive another PowerUp from the Slot Machine.
