With Angry Birds, you can enjoy all the fun and exciting gameplay of the original game on almost any device. The Angry Birds franchise now includes a cartoon series, film and dozens of games, but some fans still love the original game the most.

The game lets you take control of multiple birds as you try to defeat pigs. Those pigs hide in different areas on each level. It's your job to send the birds flying through the air to defeat each pig. You'll need to remove all the pigs from each level to advance. You'll also get points for knocking over objects that hide those pigs and other items on each level.

You start out with just a few yellow birds that perform no special actions. The game gives you a slingshot that you use to shoot the birds through the sky. Changing the angle and the speed in which you swipe makes the birds go faster and puts more power behind each shot. You only get a limited number of birds to use in each level. While it might sound easy, this is actually an addictive game.

Unlike many games today that only give you a certain number of lives, the original version of Angry Birds lets you play as long as you want. You'll never need to stop and take a break or spend money to keep playing because you ran out of lives. The game does ask you pretty often if you want to upgrade and spend real money to unlock new features though. It also asks if you want to spend money after failing the same level multiple times.

Designed for ages three and up, Angry Birds uses fun images and graphics of violence that is suitable for most players. It doesn't feature any blood or gruesome effects like other games do. The first few levels introduce you on how to play the game, but the levels get more challenging and difficult as you keep advancing. You get a score at the end of each level, from one to three, based on the total amount of points that you scored. When you earn enough stars across all games in one level, you'll unlock other levels.

The game also introduces new birds that do other things like large red birds that knock down more objects and black birds that explode on impact. While there is a short learning curve when using new birds, most players find Angry Birds both challenging and a little addictive.
