It was released by Rovio Entertainment 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.

Characters
There are currently nine different styles of playable birds (ten if you count the Mighty Eagle). They're 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 along with their real names that have been revealed sometime.


 * Red (Also called The Red Bird) - Does nothing but does make various battle cries when tapped and does great at popping pigs.
 * The Blues: Blue Jay, Blue Jake, and Blue Jim (Also called the Blue Bird(s) - Splits into three smaller birds. Works best against glass.
 * Chuck (Also called the Yellow Bird) - Picks up speed and distance when tapped. Best against wood.
 * Bomb (Also called the Black Bird) - Explodes when tapped or shortly upon inpact. Best against stone.
 * Matilda (Also called the White Bird) - Drops an egg bomb that explodes on impact when tapped and does great on wood.
 * Al (Also called the Boomerang Bird or Green Bird) - Comes back like a boomerang when tapped and does great on wood and glass.
 * Terence (Also called the Big Brother Bird) - No special abilities when tapped, but destroys materials with ease.
 * Bubbles (Also called the Orange Bird) - Inflates to huge size like a balloon when tapped or upon impact, then deflates a little later. Best against wood.
 * Stella (Also called the Pink Bird) (Appearing only in Angry Birds Seasons at the time) - When tapped makes a bubble around her, and lifts up objects like blocks and pigs. The bubbles last for about 3 seconds.
 * Mighty (Also known as Mighty) - You first launch sardines and when it hits the ground, the Mighty Eagle will come down, destroy everything in his path hit the ground and cause an earthquake, popping all pigs he missed, then come back up, while also destroying everything in his path; kind of like a V but wider. He must be purchased in-game for 99 cents to use him. He has unlimited use, except for Angry Birds Friends.

The Bad Piggies
The Bad Piggies, the Flock's enemies, are a colossal army of green pigs. They constantly steal the Flock's eggs so they can use them as a alternative source for food. Much like the birds, the pigs are also provided in different varieties, shown below:

Levels
Main Article: List of Angry Birds levels

There is a grand total of 420 levels in Angry Birds, including Golden Eggs. These levels are grouped into "episodes". In different episodes, the pigs try to find new ways to escape with the eggs.

 * 3) Danger Above, the pigs steal the eggs and escape on board using a number of makeshift aircraft. Contains 45 levels.
 * 4) The Big Setup, the pigs imprison the birds in a cage to prevent their defeat after stealing the eggs. However, Big Brother bird is still loose and frees the boomerang bird, and they both fight back. Contains 45 levels.
 * 5) Ham 'Em High, the pigs, armed with a rope, lasso the eggs out of the bird's nest, and take them to the wild west. Contains 45 levels, and 3 Facebook levels.
 * 6) Mine and Dine, the pigs steal the eggs and attempt to hide underground, taking them to the underground mines. Contains 45 levels.
 * 7) Birdday Party, the birds find that the pigs have taken their eggs for once again, and this time, along with a piece of their cake. Contains 15 levels.
 * 8) Bad Piggies, taking place in levels with the same background as in the App with the same name, "Bad Piggies", the birds discovered their eggs are missing when suddenly Chuck noticed that the Bad Piggies (Now including the Freckled Pig and Mechanic Pig in this episode) have taken the eggs, AGAIN, and this time, in a built wooden cart, courtesy of the Mechanic Pig.The birds then give chase. Contains 15 levels, with 30 coming soon.

There are also 27 Golden Eggs scattered throughout the game, which unlock hidden levels when collected. There is also, of course, the King Pig levels that contain 4 mini-games

Power Ups
You may also use Power Ups in levels of the game. Power Ups can help you improve your scores in levels and help you get more stars.There are 4 Power-Ups, and you can use 2 per level. Here are the 4 Power-Ups:


 * Super Seeds: Super Seeds turn any bird on the slingshot bigger and tougher.


 * King Sling: King Sling upgrades your slingshot so that when flung, birds can go faster and farther than before.


 * 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 with these exceptions.


 * Slot Machine: In Angry Birds Classic, you can play any level daily to receive a free daily Power-Up from the "Angry Birds Power-Up Slot Machine". Whatever Power-Up you get three in a row in the Slot Machine, that'll be the Power-Up 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 your free daily Power-Up, you'll have to wait until the next day to receive another Power-Up from the Slot Machine. Unlike the Space Eagles from Angry Birds Space, which are recieved normally after the hour you received one, when the next day comes, if you start any level, the Slot Machine appears anytime.
 * Note: The Slot Machine does have a strange issue. When you get 3 Sling Scopes in a row in the Slot Machine, you get a King Sling. And when you get 3 King Slings in the Slot Machine, you get a Sling Scope. So keep that in mind until the issue is fixed.
 * Fun Fact: Power Ups used to be exclusive in Angry Birds Friends until August 2, 2012, which is the day the Power-Ups were updated in the Angry Birds Classic mobile app. Currently it is available for iOS and Android at the time.
