Angryverse/Angry Birds 2

Angry Birds 2 (formerly known as Angry Birds Under Pigstruction) is a puzzle platformer game developed by Rovio, first soft launched in Canada on March 5, 2015 and officially released on July 30, 2015.

Serving as a direct sequel to the original Angry Birds game, Angry Birds 2 utilizes new challenges such as multi-stage levels and boss battles (referred to as Boss Piggies). The game also introduces new features such as spells, cards, feathers, and a bird known as Silver.

Plot
After the events of Angry Birds, Chef Pig steals the eggs and puts them in an airship, leaving Red to gather the rest of the flock pursuing him and the rest of the pigs. After Chef Pig is defeated, the Foreman Pig takes over followed by the King Pig on defeat. It goes on to avoid the birds from recovering the eggs. The beginning cutscene was removed in later updates.

Game Progression
Unlike the original game, the levels are sectioned off into different chapter instead of episodes.


 * New Pork City
 * Pig Bay

Basic Overview
The game is structurally identical to the original game, but some changes are used to make it feel brand spankin' new.

Cards
The biggest change to the game was the inclusion of cards. Similar to the bonus levels in Angry Birds Stella, you can choose whatever bird or spell you can use for a specific level.

Spells
These are powerful cards that can be brought into Normal and Hard levels in the campaign, as well as in the Arena. They are in addition to your normal cards, and when it is selected you are guaranteed to receive at least one randomly in the level. Spells will rank up if all the birds (and slingshot) have reached the specified level (unless all the birds' level are inconsistent, the lowest level will be applied to spells). For example, if all your birds are at rank 18, except Red who is at Rank 17, then the spells will be at Rank 17.

List of spells includes:


 * Golden Duck

 * Thursday: Matilda Mayhem
 * Friday: Silver Slam
 * Saturday: Bomb's Blast

If they do not have the respective bird, they will not be able to attempt the daily challenge.

The daily challenge consists of 3 stages, stage 1, stage 2 (hard level) and boss stage.

If the player passes a stage, the icon turns into a green tick and they will receive:
 * 400 Rainbow Feathers for the respective bird
 * 1 Premium Chest
 * 1 Golden Duck
 * 1 Chili
 * 30 Black Pearls

At any point the player fails or quits the icon turn into a red cross, the progress will reset and they will lose a heart.

If the players can beat the daily challenge, player can unlock the King Pig Panic, how ever all 3 levels are boss levels, with the higher rewards: 1,000 Rainbow Feathers for the respective bird, 1 Premium Chest, 1 Golden Duck, and 100 Black Pearls consisting in 3 stages, with a time limit until the next daily challenge.

The daily challenge has a passing streak, if the player goes seven days in a row with out failing they will get a legendary chest on the seventh pass, if they fail a day the streak will break & they will have to start over.

2020 Updates:
The new open screens for the challenges take up the whole screen with the birds and pigs hopping out from the left side of the streak stand. They don't have their speech bubbles anymore. There is also now a daily challenge streak and if you reach 7 wins in a row, you get a Legendary Chest. Nowadays, the prizes for completing the daily challenge are:


 * 1,000 Rainbow Feathers for the respective bird
 * 1 Premium Chest.png
 * 2-6 Apples (depending on the bird)
 * 1 Mighty Eagle Bootcamp extra bird card of the respective bird
 * 100 Black Pearls

Tower of Fortune
This is where the big rewards are! You get cards to choose from each floor and win gems, feathers, spells, and hats as you rise to the skies. But be careful, there are pesky pig cards on all the normal floors who are ready to take what you have gained. You can exit the tower any time with the loot collected so far from the “Exit” button on the left. Even if you get a pig card, your journey is not over, you can pay gems to be able to continue.

Angry Birds references

 * Like the classic look of Corporal Pig, he is depicted as a pig with a solider helmet.
 * The Bubbles Adventure seems to be a reference to Ham O' Ween.
 * Bubbles never appeared in The Angry Birds Movie 2 as he appeared in a photograph, however Bubbles does appear in the game.

In 2021, Rovio launched a program in which Angry Birds fans can upload their progress of the game, while in return get free merchandise and make advertisements to promote new updates for the game.

Reception
The game has received mixed reviews. Pocket Gamer gave the game a 7/10, feeling that the gameplay was a step forward in puzzle design and the graphics were gorgeous—however, it did not like the energy system that, after failing to complete a few levels, either makes the player stop playing or use gems to continue playing; overall the website thought the game was Rovio at its best. IGN awarded it a score of 6.7 out of 10, saying "Ever-shifting levels and limited lives take a lot of the fun out of smashing pigs with birds in Angry Birds 2."
