The original video game, largely inspired by stylized sketches of flightless birds, first released on iOS and Maemo devices in December 2009. The game was originally built on a proprietary engine, but a new version has been integrated into Unity for better performance. on a new mobile device. The game is now playable again on iOS and Android devices and includes all parts of the original game. For those who have never tried the original game, this is a good chance to find out the reason for all the success of the last few years. This game is no longer supported natively but has been re-released in the app stores via a separate app with a different version, developer, and content history. In April 2019, the game was not listed in the app stores but returned and received a new update.
Instead of constantly updating these old games to keep them compatible with changing devices and market demands, Rovio decided to focus on delivering amazing experiences in our active games. Leaving old games the way they were was also not because the games had to meet all store requirements. As an anecdote, Rovio decided to offer Angry Birds for free on the iPhone after it surpassed $12 million in sales and the game is still the most downloaded app on the App Store since it was released for Android in 2012.
