Angry Birds: The mobile "bestseller" in 2010





At the beginning you're only given one type of bird that does nothing more than just headbutting, but throughout the game you'll come across six more birds, each possessing one special power: multiply, explode, accelerate, dropping egg bombs, boomerang, and extra strength. Don't worry, the instructions are pretty clear when you first meet these enhanced kamikaze birds -- most involve just a single tap anywhere to trigger their special abilities mid-flight. Once you get the hang of it, you'll soon be wanting to try out all sorts of trajectories to take vengeance on those cheeky green hogs. Seriously, the pigs really do laugh at you when your birds miss them.

By default you will only be able to see the area where the sling shot is. You do have the ability to zoom in and out and scroll over to see parts of the level that you need to see. From the default view it makes more of a challenge not being able to see the pig’s fortress when you throw the birds. Once you throw a bird the camera will follow it until it lands on the fortress area. If you want to be able to view the entire level at once (sling shot area and pig fortress area) you will need to zoom out. When you are in the default view and throw a bird, it will leave a white cloud like trail to help you aim for your next turn. This helps aiming in this view quite a bit so that you are not throwing the birds without the ability to have a strategy or aim.
