Ok, I didn’t know where to post this.  First off, I think ABT is a fantastic game.  I have loved every second I’ve played it, and I hope it continues getting updates.  I just find it hilarious that this was the game that made it through the great AB purge of 2017, and not, say, Classic or Seasons.  That said, this is still a great game.  (Ple…[Read more]

@guibird2971koge Here is the link to the generic, non-AB game:

Of course I can’t find it now, but if I see it again later, I’ll post the link.  Also, I forgot to mention this above, but Rovio is also running an ad for a game that looks and extremely similar, but with the AB characters replaced with generic fantasy ones (the survey questions are the same, too).  They’re probably trying to gauge which is more p…[Read more]

Woah.  Apparently this is only for android, and has been in closed beta for months under the developer “Dark Matter.”  If anything, any new games under that group might be from Rovio.  Still, it’s not Angry Birds.

@mikemaz42 You’re right!  Hopefully Rovio is doing ‘testing’ again and they will pop back up soon.

@mvnla2 That’s great.  Yeah, the game’s definitely more ftp that the older ones.  I do like how there is always a line of sight, among other little things POP 1 didn’t have.  A couple months back, Rovio changed all of their support pages (they used a new client or something).  Finding an actual person is a bit ridiculous now.  There’s some backw…[Read more]

@mvnla2 Welcome back!  I think POP 2 was released in the US last week (source: is in my app store now) and it should work.  Honestly if the game isn’t functioning like it should, just delete it and reinstall it.  This usually works for games like this.  If it still doesn’t then maybe it’s your device, or maybe it’s something you’d have to cont…[Read more]

Angry Birds Nest to Angry Birds Evolution: “You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.”

@mighty-red-1 Angry Birds POP 2 has been released onto the United States App Store.  Also, Rovio has soft-launched a game/app called Angry Birds Explore, which uses AR and the bird codes from the AB Movie 1 to promote the AB Movie 2.

@grammyK

Yeah, this one just released worldwide.  I think it’s a port of the VR game from earlier this year, so I wonder how that game actually did.  Either way, I like the mobile version because it’s finally something different.

You know, I’ve personally seen over a dozen games go down for the count, and I’ve heard of hundreds more.  Disney and EA and probably many other companies have lists of all the games that were abandoned and pulled, many with their servers closed.  Even Rovio’s no stranger to this; just look at the slaughter of late 16-17.  It’s really sad, th…[Read more]

I contacted Rovio support, and wrote this:

“Hi, I was looking through the U.S. App Store, and it seems that the original Angry Birds and several other games have been delisted. Is this going to be permanent, or is it a temporary thing? Thanks.”

Today they responded back with:

“I fully realize how confusing it might be when you are not able to…[Read more]

This is a bit crazy.

I just wanted to put the info out there that the “purchased” tab is a thing on both the Google Play and App Stores, so once you’ve downloaded a game, you will be able to redownload them.  Of course, if the game required a server, having the app on your device won’t help any bit.

All of the old games are gone, at least in the US.  I hope this isn’t what I think it is.

Edit: Something like this has happened before. Something caused the older ones to disappear for some time a while ago.  Still, they and others like Transformers are gone, so that’s not good.
