Angry Birds is a strategy/ puzzle game The concept came from lots of sketches of wingless birds. It is successful because it is very cheap, but also very fun and addictive so it quickly became the top rated app on the app store and then a lot more people started to try it and obviously liked it so it became a huge brand. There is a free version, but it has lots of advertisements so many users paid to have them removed. The success can also be put down the funny and engaging characters. It has currently sold about 12 million copies on Apples App Store alone. The idea of the game is quite simple, you have to use the birds to destroy all of the pigs on level. Although while simple has proven to be very successful.
