Angry Birds Racing

Angry Birds Racing (also referred to as Angry Birds Racer or Angry Birds Racing Rumble) is a beta test game in the Angry Birds series by Rovio Entertainment Corporation. The goal of the game was to gather player feedback for future games in the series.

History
On November 2nd, 2022 a user on the Rovio Gaming Discord found the game publicly available on the Russian Google Play store. When community managers overheard the conversation, the game was quickly set to private. Later that day the Facebook page for the game was found with a new loading screen.

A day later on November 3rd, the game was released to select countries as "early access", such as North America. Later that day, Rovio made their first public announcement about the game by answering the question, "What's all this about?" on the game's support page with "Indeed."

Sometime between November 20th and November 24th, the game was delisted from the Google Play store in North America.

On December 14th, the game was once again made available on the Google Play store. This also added a new update to the game, adding balance changes and giving Red a new trait.

Gameplay
The gameplay of Angry Birds Racing is similar to another game called Tiny Wings, but this version contains power-ups and pig towers to knock over with the player's snowboard.

The goal of the game is to be one of the first of sixteen to pass the finish line. The player can increase their speed in the race through different means. There are five different levels of speed: "Fast", "Faster", "Very Fast", "Super Fast" and "Flockin' Fast" and they increase by the amount of successful flips the player does. Throughout the race, Turbo Boosts are scattered around the track. The player can collect these to drastically increase their speed.

There are also five different leagues. The player progresses through each league by playing the game, and when the player enters a new league, new characters are unlocked.
