Angry Birds Journey
Fling Birds, Solve Puzzles!
Every day in Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating women who bring apps and games to life.
A self-proclaimed “rookie” when she joined Rovio less than three years ago, Andreea Andrei is the QA lead for Angry Birds Journey. Her favorite part of making games: “Working with great people to create something that is fun and ingenious and that brings players joy.”
The Piggies are at it again, and in Angry Birds Journey, it’s time to remind them who rules the roost. Pull back, take aim, and let ’em fly as you demolish sturdy buildings to hurt those hogs and save wee Hatchlings. Wreaking structural havoc—it’s for the birds!
What we love: The new powers. Our favorite fliers have been upgraded: After landing, Red bounces around like a pinball, while Stella sucks up materials in an antigravity bubble. Sending Silver dive-bombing through wood to free a few remaining Hatchlings is supremely satisfying.
Quick tip: Notice blocks with black dots on them? Target these first, as they’re holding the rest of the level’s structure in place. Nail your first shot and you might pass the stage in one go—which means more boosters to use later on.
Meet the creator: Finnish studio Rovio released the original Angry Birds in 2009. The franchise now includes a multitude of sequels, spin-offs, and films.
