Angry Birds (sometimes called Angry Birds Classic) was a popular puzzle video game. It was first released for iOS devices on December 11, 2009. The game was developed by Rovio Entertainment, and would create a media franchise of the same name after it got really popular. It has a simple story: the pigs stole the birds' eggs, so the birds try to get them back.

The game was available for lots of mobile devices and video game consoles and supported by Rovio with many free updates that add more features and levels. This was until mid-2019 when the game (along with many other old Angry Birds games released before Angry Birds Transformers) were removed from app stores. A remake made in Unity called Rovio Classics: Angry Birds was released on iOS and Android devices on March 31, 2022. In February 2023, it was removed again on Android and renamed to Red's First Flight on iOS.^[2][3]
