Angry Birds 2 is a 2015puzzle video game developed by Rovio Entertainment as the twelfth game in the Angry Birds series, and is the direct sequel to the original Angry Birds. It is free-to-play with optional purchases for in-game currency. The gameplay features a new bird named Silver, an new ability for Red, spells instead of power-ups and gameplay that occurs in multi-stage levels. It was soft-launched in Canada on March 5, 2015, as Angry Birds Under Pigstruction,[1] released for iOS and Android worldwide on July 30, 2015, and the name was changed to Angry Birds 2.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
Like the original Angry Birds, players use a slingshot to launch birds at nearby structures; a key difference in Angry Birds 2 is the ability to select birds of the desired choice from a deck. This can give the player more freedom by allowing the creation of their own unique strategies. The main enemies of the game are green-colored pigs of varying sizes, who can be defeated by hitting them with birds or objects. A new feature is that some pigs can defend themselves from birds in various ways, including knocking them back with projectiles, attracting your birds via a tractor beam, running (or flying) away from the danger, or even transforming the birds into boxes of TNT. These retaliatory tactics, though sometimes effective, can end up backfiring at times.
Individual birds and spells are represented on cards. Tapping on a card will select it, placing its contents on the slingshot for launching. Players get points by destroying objects and pigs; the points will then be multiplied by the selected bird's score multiplier (referred to in-game as Bird Power). The total score multiplier is made up of 4 factors: bird level, highest hat tier, slingshot level & hatchling level. Birds can be leveled up by gaining their respective feathers (with each level requiring more feathers than the previous one). Hats, which are bought with black pearls (found in a multitude of ways), will give a flat score boost to a bird based on the best hat which you have for that bird. The slingshot can be leveled up by completing hat sets, providing a score boost to all your birds. Finally, players can care for a Hatchling by getting an egg near their slingshot and hatching it. The hatchling provides a small score bonus to all your birds but must be fed with apples (found all around the game) at least once every 48 hours to stop it from leaving. Once fed enough times, you can also level it up, increasing the multiplier bonus and the apples it must be fed.
Levels include multiple waves of pigs, which progress through separate structures, each one completely independent of one another. Only three cards can be displayed at a time; the rest appear in the deck. The 'Destruct-o-meter' fills up during play as you destroy buildings, and if it gets full, a random card will be given to the player. Note that the meter will refill slower and slower each time it grants an extra card, eventually becoming nearly impossible to fill. (Additionally, since Update 2.48, after being awarded a card, any excess progress awarded will be heavily reduced until you fling another bird, making it nearly impossible to get 2 cards with one bird.) The player begins with five lives (or more by purchasing) and loses one if all cards have been used and at least one pig remains undefeated; once all five lives have been lost, the player must pay gems, watch an advertisement or wait 30 minutes in order to get a new life.[3] Note, however, that lives are not used nor required in the Arena, the Bootcamp or in clan events, which can be played even if you're out of lives.
Levels will sometimes contain items, either an apple, a friend gift (which are completely useless unless connected to Facebook, now removed due to change in Facebook games policies) or a treasure chest. They can be acquired if something passes through the item (a bird, a brick, etc.), but the player can only acquire it if they successfully complete the level. Occasionally, Golden Pigs may appear in place of another pig in some levels and will fill the 'Destruct-o-meter' fully when they are popped. They are not required to go to the next stage though but are helpful to get one extra card irrespective of destruction caused. However, if one has a nearly full Destruct-o-meter, popping a golden pig straightaway will just fill the bar to full. The game may be connected to Facebook to backup scores & progress and give friend gifts to friends (this feature has since been removed). Gems, lives, avatars, and many miscellaneous items can be earned from in-app purchases; gems can also be collected by completing daily quests.
Game Modes[edit]
There are several game modes in Angry Birds 2 other than the regular campaign levels, including the Daily Challenge (& King Pig Panic), Tower of Fortune. the Arena, Mighty Eagle's Bootcamp & clans.
Daily Challenge[edit]
The daily challenge is a set of 3 levels (1 normal, 1 hard & 1 boss) which must be completed all in a row to get the prize. If you fail any of the 3 levels, you lose a life and must start over from the first one. Once completed, you can try to beat the King Pig Panic, which features bigger prizes but requires completion of 3 boss levels in a row.

Tower of Fortune[edit]
The Tower of Fortune is a long elevator with 60 floors, and functions similarly to the international game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. On each floor, players can pick one of 4 cards. 3 of them will contain loot (either feathers, spells, gems, or apples), which will be added to the player's winnings. The other card contains a pig, who will steal all the items you previously gathered unless you pay gems or watch a video to continue. You can quit at any time you want to collect all your winnings and exit the tower. Every 5th floor is a Jackpot floor, where all 4 cards contain hats (the rarity of which are predetermined). The items get progressively better the higher up you ascend, but so does the risk of getting a pig.
Arena[edit]
The Arena is unlocked after reaching level 5. The concept of the Arena is similar to Angry Birds Friends. The players in the world were randomly divided into a batch of 15 and feathers were awarded to a particular bird according to the high score of each player in an endless level of the same arena event which changed every day. After the Mount Evernest update, with the same division of players, the arena became a six-day-long tournament where the rewards were gems instead of feathers. The endless levels of arena events are now randomly given and not fixed for a particular day and multiple events can be played in a day. Instead of a player playing alone for a high score, now the player competes with a randomly chosen opponent, and one with a better score is awarded stars according to the margin of victory. Stars decide the ranks of the players. The top three move up a league and the bottom three go down one league. Players also get medals if they finish in the top three in Arena.
Update 2.48 (released in December 2020) gave a massive overhaul to the arena and its functionality. Each day, there will be a random set of 5 birds which will be the only ones usable in the Arena. Additionally, the win streaks are shorter and their prizes can only be claimed once per day. Each player will have an arena 'ranking' which can go up and down depending if the player wins or loses. Although stars are still awarded, the weekly leaderboard is based on the player's total ranking gain. Once the player's ranking reaches certain thresholds, they will advance to a higher league, featuring tougher opponents, improved win streak prizes and a bigger end-of-season reward.
This is the only traditional slingshot Angry Birds game with procedurally generated levels,[4] which might be the reason the game has 2300 levels in its campaign mode as of September 2019.[4]
Plot[edit]
After the events of Angry Birds, Chef Pig steals the eggs and puts them in an airship, leaving Red to gather the rest of the flock pursuing him and the rest of the pigs. After Chef Pig is defeated, the Foreman Pig takes over the ship in order to prevent the birds from recovering the eggs. Once the Foreman is defeated, King Pig commands the airship, replaced by the Chef Pig yet again upon his defeat. This cycle repeats for the entirety of the campaign levels.
In other media[edit]
Silver, a bird who first appeared in the game, went on to appear in the animated filmThe Angry Birds Movie 2 Essential mac apps 2016. , voiced by Rachel Bloom. In that film, she is Chuck's sister, a skilled engineer and a potential love interest for Red.[5]
Promotions[edit]
Rovio uses new spells for promotional use which are similar to the 'Golden Duck' spell. These spells can be used until the completion of only one level and no other spell can be used on that particular level. These spells are available for a limited time and change with ongoing events.
The ongoing festivities are also promoted by specially designed levels which gives a premium treasure box in return if the players win it. Only one attempt is given for this level. This started on February 14, 2016 which promoted Valentine's Day through a specially designed level. These levels were only available for a limited time.
The Gravity Grove update promoted The Angry Birds Movie by using the character appearances from the movie in the levels.

The game has received mixed reviews. Pocket Gamer gave the game a 7/10, feeling that the gameplay was a step forward in puzzle design and the graphics were gorgeous; however, it did not like the energy system that, after failing to complete a few levels, either makes the player stop playing or use gems to continue playing; overall the website thought the game was Rovio at its best.[10]IGN awarded it a score of 6.7 out of 10, saying 'Ever-shifting levels and limited lives take a lot of the fun out of smashing pigs with birds in Angry Birds 2.'[7]
