Angry Birds is a physics puzzle game featuring birds with destructive anger whose eggs were stolen by green pigs. Users have to help these angry birds dish out revenge on the pigs.

Completing the game requires hours of full-on concentration, understanding of physics and logic to take the right shot and obviously the angry birds’ mighty power.
