Agri Birds

Agri Birds was a cancelled game created by Rovio for 2015's April Fools as a joke trailer. Despite being shown as a joke game, a former Rovio artist claimed that it was in development, but got cancelled.

History
The birds' designs was created by the developers when they where bored and eventually made into a trailer on April 1st, 2015. A second trailer was also planned for release with the actual game, but it got cancelled.

The game ended up inspiring the game Angry Birds Evolution with the concept of evolving and caricature of birds, preferring to create many new birds instead of only using the core flock. It also was an early parody of The Angry Birds Movie.

This cancelled game served as an inspiration for the episode Piggy Farm of Angry Birds Classic.

Gameplay
The joke trailer proposes that player would play multiple minigames but the game's main mechanic was farming.


 * As Red, the player would make him move through the farm and do tasks, such as getting an egg from a chicken.
 * As Matilda, the player was on a cabbage crop and would shoot at moles in a hole by tapping them, just like Whack-a-Mole.
 * As Sasha Lynx, the player would select a dress available to dress them and would win if they liked.
 * As Chuck, the player would try to survive on the farm and see if there were incoming Blues by using a flashlight, which the battery could end. If the battery ends, Jay, Jake or Jim will appear on the screen to scare the player.
 * As Stella and Gale, the player would talk with a character and select suitable phrases to continue the story.

Characters

 * Red: A grumpy dwarf bird that lives on his farm, who has some anger issues.
 * Chuck: An old and cheerful fisher bird that lives on the farm. He is good with emotional support.
 * Bomb: A fat bird that wants to get fit, but also eats ice cream since it's his favorite.
 * Matilda: A muscular farmer who protects her vegetable garden from moles by shooting with her shotgun.
 * Sasha Lynx: A flamboyant toucan that likes to dress up and cares about their beauty.
 * Stella: A strong athlete with quite skinny legs. It was implied that she has a crush on Gale.
 * The Blues: They are crazy birds that invade the farm and fool around. The other birds are fine with their presence. Only one of them has legs.
 * Mighty Bagel: A pun on Mighty Eagle, he is an antagonist instead and wants to take over the land of the birds' farm.
 * Gale: Mighty Bagel's daughter that wants her father to have success and end up with the birds' happy lives, but mostly appears to not care about it and instead stays busy on her smartphone. She was a good friend of Stella and probably her love interest.
 * The Pigs: They appeared for a while in the farm gameplay as actual pigs. However, some concept art shows that they might have been related with Mighty Bagel.

Trivia

 * The game UI and sound effects are reused from Angry Birds Stella.
 * The concept art depicts Sasha Lynx wearing a loose top and hot pants. This might be because of her design in the trailer being too suggestive.
 * This was the only instance of same-sex relationship in the whole franchise of Angry Birds.
 * There exist promotional art for Angry Birds Seasons: Hogs and Kisses where Matilda, with her old design, is standing alongside another Matilda but with a pink bow and cheekmarks to look more feminine. However, they claimed it to be an oversight.
 * This game, Bad Piggies and Cryptobirdies are the only games in the Angry Birds series without the words Angry Birds in its title. However, Agri Birds and the Cryptobirdies are both joke games.
 * The title is a mix of "Agriculture" and Angry Birds.
 * The ending part of the trailer uses a part of the soundtrack from Fired Up, more specifically the part where Chuck stops the light beam from a magnifying glass with a blanket.
