People in African countries rocking series 40 Nokia phones have Angry Birds.ĭespite Rovio’s unprecedented levels of success, recently it has been hard to dispute the argument that the Angry Birds formula might be getting a little stale. Since then, Rovio has grown further yet, and now days it’s difficult to find a platform that doesn’t have Angry Birds on it as the brand has made its way to the browser, smart TV’s, and even feature phones being sold in emerging markets. The Angry Birds kingdom expanded into the Angry Birds empire with the self-published release of both Angry Birds Seasons (Free) and Angry Birds Rio (Free) over the next couple of years. Regardless, Angry Birds has yet to let go of a position on the top ten iTunes sales charts. Whether that sales surge was a result of Chillingo’s marketing prowess or creative consulting as a publisher or the product of Rovio’s hard work seems to be a matter of perspective, and the answer to that question depends more on who you ask.

Angry Birds wouldn’t even strike it big until months later in early 2010, when Chillingo announced that the game had been downloaded over half a million times. The original release had a barebones array of birds, 63 levels, no leaderboards, no achievements, and no, really… anything else. Even after playing through the first few levels, I was enjoying this game, but failing to see the real appeal. When you see a game with a name as nondescript as Angry Birds, it’s pretty hard to get excited. Or, as we mention in our original review which almost seems laughable now: Reading between the lines of Chillingo’s own distinction between the AAA Chillingo and brands, it wasn’t difficult to see why Angry Birds (Free) was relegated to the non-AAA brand when it launched, as the late-2009 1.0 version of the game really wasn’t anything that special. This new brand will fully complement Chillingo’s existing catalogue of AAA innovative titles.'Ĭ’s aisle in the App Store was (and still is) an odd assortment of ultra-casual games and apps ranging from the SAT Vocabulary Builder to sliding block puzzle games like Pic n’ Mix ($0.99).

In late May, Chillingo spun off a new brand called, which per the original press release was intended to “carry casual games and software applications in the Apple App Store. iDracula ($2.99) may look incredibly archaic by today’s standards, but back then, it was among the cream of the crop. Publishers like Chillingo were trying to stake as large of a claim as possible in this brave new world brought about by the impulse-powered instant gratification of downloading a 99¢ game and the exploding popularity of the iPhone.Ĭhillingo was incredibly successful in pooling together a library of games we called “AAA titles' at the time.

The “gold rush' was still in full effect. Let’s wind the clocks back to 2009, as really, to appreciate what Angry Birds has become, I think we need to go back and appreciate what Angry Birds was.
