There was a giant Angry Birds set-up, with explosive pigs and destructible structures. A jazz group was on hand to blast the game’s theme.

The game has been a whirl wind success and has been praised for its successful combination of addictive gameplay, comical style, and low price.

Its popularity has led to versions of Angry Birds being created for personal computers and gaming consoles, a market for merchandise featuring its characters and even long-term plans for a feature film or television series. With 140 million downloads across all platforms, the game has been called “one of the most mainstream games out right now”.

In the real life game, players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs on the playfield. As players advance through the game, new birds appear, some with special abilities, that can be activated by the player.
