Released in March 2015, this follow-up took a huge jump away from the original. With being able to choose your bird, use cool special powers, and play challenging multi-stage levels, even the graphics and animations are leaps and bounds above the first Angry Birds game.

Still flinging

While the game may be quite different from the original, the concept still remains true. Fling birds to knock down the structures and take out the pigs in order to advance to the next level. Use Chuck for wood, Bomb for metal, and Red to push over towers. Special spells can help you out of tight spots and difficult levels, but remember that you have to choose one at the beginning of the stage.

As a spin-off of Angry Birds, the second in the Angry Birds Stella series, and originally released with the name Angry Birds Stella Pop!, this is a fun bubble-popping challenge.

Using your slingshot, you take aim to pop bubbles of three or more matching colors. You will come across bombs that eliminate a row and everything beneath it or those that just pop bubbles around it. Some levels will have you taking on the big boss Gale while others have you dropping pigs.

This can be essential to doing well because those coins can be used for awesome power-ups. From the Birdquake to the Wingman to the Power Potion, these handy tools can really boost your score by getting you through the levels using less birds.

Angry Birds Space brings its own set of challenges with the inclusion of gravity-less flinging. While in the similar Angry Birds games, you use gravity to your advantage, this one is the opposite. This makes the game more difficult, yet still a ton of fun.

Be careful how you fling

This game offers gravity-pulls that you must use to tackle the structures and take out the piggies. So, you really need to plan your moves carefully, otherwise your birds could end up lost in space. From slow motion to warp speed, each of the more than 300 levels across 10 stellar planets is challenging and distinctive.
