At some point or another, everyone had the game Angry Birds downloaded onto their phones or tablets. This simple but addicting game allows players to help a group of birds. Some evil pigs steal their precious eggs and plan to gobble them up. It's up to players to launch the birds at various structures and harm the pigs to retrieve their eggs.

Fans of Angry Birds likely remember the very first game. Now, there are dozens more Angry Birds games in the series! Even though they all stay true to the main story, for the most part, they are quite different. They contain different birds, settings, goals, and more.

Updated October 14, 2021 by Erik Petrovich: The Angry Birds series has been a mainstay of mobile gaming since its very inception. The original game is still one of the most popular apps of all time, more than a decade later, and recent games have changed a lot about the formula while maintaining what makes the brand special. Many Angry Birds games were released and then swiftly canceled, and unfortunately not every game in the series is still playable. One might be surprised which games are still playable, though many of the wildly different games like Angry Birds Legends or Angry Birds Space can no longer be played at all.

29 Angry Birds

The very first Angry Birds game is from all the way back in December 2009. Players fling the birds towards different structures to get their eggs back from the evil pigs. The goal is to knock down as many of the structures as possible to gain up to three stars for each level.

It's a game that took inspiration from many Flash games at the time, and whether you're a fan of it or not, spawned one of the biggest mobile gaming brands of all time.

28 Angry Birds Seasons

The second Angry Birds game is from October 2010. The title of Angry Birds Seasons basically summarizes the game. It is the same as the original one except the birds are in different seasons throughout the year. There are also power-ups in this game.

It started as Angry Birds Halloween but was changed to Seasons around Christmas in 2010. The different seasons and weather effects made enough of a gameplay difference to make it much more fun than the original.

27 Angry Birds Rio

The third Angry Birds game is Angry Birds Rio which is from March 2011. This game relates to the movie Rio so instead of pigs, there are birds in cages. Players have to fling the birds at structures to set the birds in cages free.

It wasn't left on its own once Rio was released, though. When Rio 2 came out three years later, the game received a significant update that added levels related to the sequel.

26 Angry Birds Friends

The fourth Angry Birds game is Angry Birds Friends from February 13 2012. It is very similar to the original games such as Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons but with a twist. The birds cause more damage and fly for a long time. There are also coins players can collect to buy power-ups.

The mobile game was originally programmed as a Flash game, but the project was cancelled by Robio and Adobe in favor of Angry Birds Friends.

25 Angry Birds Space

The fifth Angry Birds game is Angry Birds Space from March 2012. Players find themselves in space where they have to help the birds get their eggs back. The new bird in this game turns around after flinging it. This helps take the structures down from behind.

Despite the game's interesting gameplay and use of all-new abilities, the game was removed from the app store alongside a swathe of Angry Birds games in 2019.

24 Angry Birds Star Wars

The sixth Angry Birds game Angry Birds Star Wars is from November 2012. This game is similar to Angry Birds Space except with a Star Wars flair. For example, the birds have powers, and players can customize them and even play as Darth Vader.

The game proved immensely popular – what else could one expect with a crossover between two of the largest brands in history? It received a sequel that, like the Star Wars saga, served as a prequel to the first game.

23 Angry Birds Star Wars II

The seventh Angry Birds game is rather self-explanatory. The September 2013 game Angry Birds Star Wars II is a simple sequel to the first one. However, the slingshots are lightsabers, and the birds can be villains.

The game was interesting in that it combined the ability to control enemies in Bad Piggies with the Angry Birds Star Wars formula. It gave players the option to play as the "Pork Side" granting new abilities.

22 Angry Birds Go!

The eighth Angry Birds game is quite different from the others at this point. In the December 2013 game, Angry Birds Go!, pigs race karts as the birds watch them. Players can pick from various characters to play as, and there are many items they can use while racing as well.

It wasn't as popular as some of the other Angry Birds games, but that's partially because kart racing games just don't work as well on mobile devices as they do on consoles.

21 Angry Birds Epic

The ninth Angry Birds game from June 2014 really changes things up. In Angry Birds Epic, players battle against pigs. They can swipe the screen to attack pigs with various weapons. Players receive damage if someone else attacks them.

Unlike other games from before 2019, Angry Birds Epic still has its servers up. It can't be downloaded anymore from app stores, but players who downloaded it already can still play the game as it was in its final update.

20 Angry Birds Stella

Angry Birds Stella is the tenth game in the series from September 2014. It is the same as the original game except with a few differences. Players can collect stars and coins during the game that unlock more birds. There is also one power-up of a hammer and mini-games.

It was a more story-driven game than the other games in the Angry Birds series, and even spawned a sequel spin-off game. It was discontinued early in 2015, not even a year after it was released, and subsequently removed from the app store in 2016.

19 Angry Birds Transformers

The eleventh Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Transformers is from October 2014. It uses a lot of inspiration from Transformers with an Angry Birds flair. For example, instead of the Allspark, it's Eggspark. Players travel through a series of levels trying to avoid attack from Pigbots. There are various items and unlockables to help them along the way.

It doesn't play like most Angry Birds games as it is a side-scrolling beat-em-up rather than a physics-based puzzle game. It's still available for download, too.

18 Angry Birds 2

Even though the twelfth game in the series is from March 2015, Angry Birds 2 is what it sounds like. This game contains all of the original features of the first one, but as some new features as well. The features are items that alter the birds such as spell cards.

It played practically the same as the original game with enough differences to make it feel more modern. It also has a wide-ranging story and a huge cast of characters to learn about.

17 Angry Birds Fight!

The thirteenth game from May 2015 allows players to fight against other players. In Angry Birds Fight!, players can battle other players via Facebook. There are many different PVP strategies in this game along with various aspects. Some of these are bosses in levels, health, and battle techniques.

It was a Match-3 game just like the classic mobile games like Candy Crush, but was discontinued about two years later.

16 Angry Birds POP!

There's an Angry Birds game, Angry Birds POP!, from October 2015. Players fling bubbles and try to get different combinations. Different levels provide players with different amounts of bubbles. This game uses a lot of inspiration from Angry Birds Stella.

It plays a lot like Bejeweled, where players must match a certain number of colored bubbles to remove them from play. While it can't be played on Facebook anymore, it's still available on mobile.

15 Angry Birds Action!

Angry Birds Action! is from February 2016. It's much different than the other Angry Birds games in almost every way. Players travel through different levels that contain objectives and a variety of modes. There are a bunch of items such as gems, coins, and keys.

It served as the first tie-in game for the Angry Birds movie but didn't use the gameplay the series is known for – it was essentially a pinball game with Angry Birds abilities.

14 Angry Birds Football

Angry Birds game is Angry Birds Football from April 2016. This game is one of the versions that is far different from the original. Players help the birds work as a team on a soccer field to score goals against pigs. They can level up their skills the more they play.

The game was created to promote the UEFA Euro 2016 Football Championship, and despite it being more than five years since the event, it's still available on app stores.

13 Angry Birds Ace Fighter

Players take flight in the game Angry Birds Ace Fighter from May 2016. They fly planes and gain points when they beat pigs. Players receive power-ups after defeating some of the pigs. Also, they must keep track of their damage and health throughout the game.

It was originally called Angry Birds Sky Fighters, and was basically an Angry Birds version of a bullet-hell game from the SNES era, with a coat of modern paint.

12 Angry Birds Holiday

Players have to step up their games in Angry Birds Holiday from May 2016. In the seventeenth game in the series, players have to run their own business. The point is to prevent the pigs from stealing eggs during their holiday. Therefore, players must serve pigs and gather resources such as tools, money, and crops.

Although Angry Birds Seasons was originally oriented around the holidays, this game was released much later and features the updated Angry Birds designed that premiered with the film.

11 Angry Birds Evolution

The eighteenth game, Angry Birds Evolution from July 2016 takes inspiration from the original with a 3D twist. Players fling birds at pigs but the pigs have numbers above them. These numbers represent the number of attacks they have left against players. The numbers above the birds are how many Super Shot turns players have left.

It has similar gameplay to the original game but the enemies can attack back and the player can control more than one bird on the field at once. Interestingly enough, it was originally called Angry Birds TNT.

10 Angry Birds Blast!

The objective in the nineteenth Angry Birds game from December 2016 is simple. In Angry Birds Blast!, players have to pop balloons that are the same color. The goal is to free the birds. Popping two balloons or more gives players points. They can also receive power-ups and coins in this game.

It's another match game that uses touch to move tiles around a board, much like Angry Birds GO, though the "tiles" are already on the board when the game starts.
