Gameplay
To play the game, the player needs to press the Episodes button, that will show the episodes. The player starts with all episodes from On Finn Ice of to Ragnahog unlocked. Each episode has its set of levels, which each time unlocked, has only 1 level available, except for Christmas episodes, which are Advent Calendars with all levels unlocked. When the player clicks the level button, the game will open the level. In the level, the player starts with a pre-determined set of birds, and a determined structure with pigs.

In order to beat the level, the player has to defeat all pigs. In order to defeat pigs, the player needs to hit them with birds, which can do by using the Slingshot. The player can sling a bird by pressing the slingshot and holding while dragging the rubber. The longer the rubber is dragged, the longer the bird will fly. The rubber can be dragged to all sides, except in the middle. Leaving the bird in the middle will cancel the launch.

After a bird is launched, it will fly until its momentum ends. While the bird is in the air, he can activate his ability. The birds are the following:

Errors

 * When a bird is launched, sometimes it will make random face expressions (such as holding their beak open or blinking) for an unknown reason.
 * Before the Ham'o'ween update, Launching another bird in the air while Red, Chuck or Hal is launched, their sprite will freeze and not look collapsed. This bug has been fixed.
 * Before the Ham'o'ween update, only one of The Blues's face was collapsed, but this bug has been fixed.
 * Currently, corpses will no longer appear and remain the expression when flung. This happens because of the Bird Wear update since the birds' launched or using ability sprites would not fit into the Bird Wear, for example, Hal's boomerang sprite.

Trivia

 * Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day are the only three holidays to be represented in Seasons more than once. The summer holiday has appeared more than once, but it is in completely different settings from a Picnic to Atlantis, to a continent, a volcano island and then a Camp, while Spring events also differ (Go Green, Get Lucky, Easter Eggs, Cherry Blossom, Abra-ca-Bacon and finally Marie Hamtoinette)
 * Season 2013 is the shortest season that has 2 episodes, Abra-Ca-Bacon and Arctic Eggspedition
 * Since Haunted Hogs, every "Level Failed" screen has a different screen. The only exceptions are South Hamerica (as that has Ham Dunk's for some reason) and Fairy Hogmother (as that has Marie Hamtoinette's for some reason). Pig Days' fail screen shares the same one as the level's backgorund the level has.
 * The Trick or Treat cutscenes got removed in the Piglantis update (June 14th 2012)
 * This is the only game so far to not have the new updated Angry Birds sprites but in the Arctic Eggspedition update Bomb's white spot doesn't appear. (as seen in Rio and Chrome.)
 * This is also the only game to keep the Bird's and Pig's old design instead of their Angry Birds Chrome design.
 * South Hamerica added Pig Days. It has ended on June 27, 2016, with world milk day. It was replaced with The Pig Challenge.
 * Ham Dunk was originally released in Season 2014 but 15 new levels were released in 2015, making it also part of Season 2015. (It went back to Season 2014 when all of the three Ham Dunk episodes events)
 * Tropigal Paradise changed the font into a thick font, It also changed the loading style,
 * The Ham Dunk update was the last update to have an icon featireing the classic designs. Starting with On Finn Ice they would use toons. Though Marie Hamtoinette, Summer Camp and the two Piggywood Studios updates would have the movie designs on the app icons.
 * The Arctic Eggspedition update was the last one to feature the characters in their classic style on the loading screens. Starting with South Hamerica they would have their toons desings on loading screens. But Marie Hamtoinette, Summer Camp and the Piggywood Studios updates would have movie designs.
 * The Invasion of the Egg Snatchers update added "Bird Wear", making this the second game where you can change a bird's costume at will, the first being Angry Birds Stella.
 * The telebird, which uses (and is Red) Red's sprite, makes Bomb's noises.
 * Pig Days is now located at Season 2016, despite it being released in 2014 along with South Hamerica.
 * Most episodes theme songs are similar to the main Angry Birds theme song.
 * Seasons 2013 and 2014 are the only seasons not to include a Halloween-based episode.
 * But if you counted the Halloween levels at Pig Days in 2014, then Season 2013 is the only season to not have a halloween-based level/episode.
