Millions are playing this game every day and the question still remains, can this game become more bigger than legendary Mickey Mouse? Let’s go more into details of how Angry Birds franchise was born. It was app launched by Rovio Entertainment in 2009 for future tablets and Apple smartphones only. Basically what you’re doing in a game is catapulting different birds into funny pigs. The game concept and characters looks were created by Markus Tupperainen, Petter Urbanics and Jaakko Lisalo. Angry birds gained such a big and quick popularity over the few years that it had saved Rovio Entertainmeng company from going bankrupt.

The story of Angry Birds
The original and first version of game has more then 50 million downloads till now. Rovio Entertainment has made hundreds of millions of dollars. Angry Birds actually has a story. And the story is based on the idea that pigs have been stealing eggs from birds thus making them really angry, to the point where birds are catapulting themselves to destroy both pigs and their constructions. The game has more then 200 million minutes of playtime every single day which is very close to number of minutes that people in America are spending while watching their TV. There are even versions of Angry Birds developed for consoles such as Xbox, Playstation and also Wii. There are even toys of Angry birds in production, but what for me more interesting is that the movie about them is released so if you can, be sure to watch it as it is really funny. Through the years there were many mobile games released but not a single of them achieved such success and talk between the players.
