Angry Birds Action!

Angry Birds Action! was a pinball video game developed by Tag Games and published by Rovio Entertainment as the thirteenth game in the Angry Birds series, and the first to have the birds appear as they do in The Angry Birds Movie. It uses the basic mechanics of pinball with the various birds acting as the pinball.

History
The game was released on February 16, 2016, in New Zealand as a soft-launch, and then later it was released worldwide on April 28, 2016.

In October 2017, the game was removed from the app stores.

Gameplay
The gameplay of Angry Birds Action! is very different from all previous games in the series. Each level consists of several stages, platforms, on which there are objects that change depending on the level mode, cluttered boxes, barrels, boxes and other items. Instead, there is a huge number of locations. Each location comprises one or more levels. To pass the levels of energy needed for one attempt through the levels one unit of energy expended. The maximum amount of three energies, one unit is restored 19 minutes.

Playable Characters

BirdCodes
BirdCodes are augmented reality codes where in the game, you tap the scan button and then aim at the codes. These codes can be located on many Angry Birds Movie merchandise and products such as McDonald's, H&M, LEGO Sets, Pez candy dispensers, and more which can unlock some extra content to the game and mini-games.

Movie Magic
An inaudible digital watermark will play at the end credits of the movie which will unlock Piggy Island from the game (no longer possible as of the Big Pig update, since it's now unlocked from the beginning) and also exclusive clips from the movie, which varies where you watch it. The watermark is always retained in the TV airings of the movie, but not occurred if the airing has the time-compressed closing credits.
 * If you open the game in theaters during the closing credits, the inaudible digital watermark will appear at the start of the second half, and the bonus scene you get shows a special ending of the movie, where Chuck gets his Spinning Billy from the recently-exploded city in Piggy Island.
 * If you open the game in the 4K UHD, Blu-Ray 3D, Blu-Ray or DVD versions, you will get a clip featuring the Hatchlings and extra keys after finished levels.
 * If you open the game in the Digital version, you will get a clip from Mighty Eagle and replace the airplane with Mighty Eagle.
