Angry Birds

Angry Birds is a popular physics-based game for Android and iOS where you try to destroy the egg-stealing piggies by launching birds at them with a giant slingshot. An incredibly popular game which was recently made into a movie, Angry Birds will provide you with hours of fun. The app launches with a brief backstory--you are a bird, and pigs have invaded your land and stolen your eggs with intent to eat them! Now you must exact revenge on the pigs through a series of kamikaze dive-bombs from a giant slingshot. Load a bird into the slingshot, pull back your sling, and try to predict the trajectory and speed of your bird. You will encounter pigs situated on rickety wood, stone, and glass structures. Your mission is to kill as many pigs as possible using as few birds as possible by strategically destroying these structures.

As you advance through the levels, you will find new birds with new abilities which can wreak even greater havoc on the pigs. Click a blue bird midair to split him into three separate birds, creating a scattershot effect, click a yellow bird midair to get a powerful speed burst, tap a white bird to lay an explosive egg, and others. Learn to use these abilities strategically to inflict maximum damage to the pig empire.
