Angry Birds, originally developed by Rovio Entertainment and released in 2009, quickly became one of the defining mobile-game phenomena of the 2010s. Its simple yet addictive physics-based gameplay—launching birds with a slingshot to topple structures and defeat green pigs—paired with charming visuals and progressively clever level design, produced massive mainstream appeal. The game's success spawned sequels, themed spin-offs, merchandising, and media adaptations, cementing Angry Birds as a mainstream pop-culture franchise.
