Angry Birds Seasons

Angry Birds Seasons (formerly Angry Birds Halloween) is a 2010 puzzle video game developed and published by Rovio Entertainment. It is the second game in the Angry Birds series. It is based on Angry Birds (2009), albeit themed around numerous seasons and holidays. Angry Birds Seasons was released for iOS devices in October 2010, and later on Android devices in December 2010. The game got its final update on December 1, 2016 and, three years later in 2019, would be removed from the App Store and Google Play.

Angry Birds Seasons was generally well received, with critics praising the game's seasons, while others criticized the game's steeper difficulty when compared to Angry Birds.

Just as in the original Angry Birds, players use a slingshot to launch an assortment of birds at nearby structures, with the intent of hitting targets located on or within them. The main targets are the pigs, and they can be defeated if directly fired at, or through other strategies, e.g.: the bird hits a structure that falls on the pig, defeating it. Small sized pigs are weak and easily defeated, while bigger pigs can sustain more damage. The game contains 29 different episodes, with each representing a different "season," often based upon different themes and holidays. Different episodes have each unique theme and sometimes much different gameplay. On October 21, 2015, the game got a major update for its 5th anniversary. This added a new currency known as birdcoins which drastically impacted how the game was played. Each episode released from "Trick Or Treat" to "South Hamerica" would be locked behind a birdcoin paywall. Players could earn birdcoins by completing levels or by spending real money. This update also added the "Quests" mechanic where each day the player would be given 3 tasks and, if they were completed, they would be rewarded birdcoins or a Power-Up. Additionally, the player can also get given a 3 part quest where they will be given one each day for three days and, if all three are completed, the player will unlock a new costume for a bird, known as "Birdwear."

The game features 29 episodes, which were added as the game's lifespan went on between 2010 and 2016. The first one, Trick or Treat, was released on October 21, 2010, and the last one, Ragnahog, was released on December 1, 2016. Different worlds have their own gimmicks, for example, "Haunted Hogs" from the 2012 season featured ghost blocks which birds cannot make contact with and instead, phase through.

The game features all of the previous games' birds, Red, Chuck, The Blues, Bomb, Matilda, Terence, Hal, Bubbles, and Stella. A new bird called Tony, who was revealed to be the cousin of Terence, was introduced in this game, who acts similar to Silver; a bird introduced in Angry Birds 2. Tony will slam down and smash anything beneath him when the screen is tapped.

Rovio continued to support Angry Birds Seasons with regular updates after the initial release, with the final update being released in December 2016.

Season 2010 began in October 2010, when Rovio released a Halloween edition. Angry Birds Halloween, exclusive to iOS at the time and a separate game, included levels with Halloween-themed music and graphics. On December 1, 2010, Rovio changed the name to Angry Birds Seasons to iOS, Android, and Symbian 3 devices. Seasons introduced 25 Christmas-themed levels, one for each day leading to the holiday, similar to an Advent calendar. All versions include the previously exclusive Halloween levels and are offered as separate, stand-alone paid applications, with the exception of the free, ad-supported Android version; Angry Birds Halloween users on iOS received the Seasons levels as a free upgrade. The Halloween version was given the episode title "Trick or Treat", while the Christmas episode was entitled "Season's Greedings".

Season 1 started In February 2011, when Rovio released a Valentine's Day update to Angry Birds Seasons, entitled "Hogs and Kisses", complete with new themed levels and graphics, as well as the option to send Angry Birds-themed Valentine's Day messages through Facebook. In March 2011, Rovio released a new St. Patrick's Day update, entitled "Go Green, Get Lucky;" followed by an Easter update, entitled "Easter Eggs", in April 2011; and a summer update, "Summer Pignic", in June 2011, which would be the only non-Christmas episode to feature an Advent calendar layout. In September 2011, "Moon Festival" was released in conjunction with the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. October 2011 is when the second Halloween update, "Ham'O'Ween", released and introduced a new orange bird, known as Bubbles. In December 2011, "Wreck the Halls" was released with 25 Christmas-themed levels also arranged in an Advent calendar layout.
