Angry Birds Action! is a 2016 puzzle video game developed by Tag Games and published by Rovio Entertainment as the thirteenth game in the Angry Birds series, and the first to have the birds appear like their counterparts in The Angry Birds Movie. It was soft-launched in New Zealand on February 16, 2016,[1] and was released for iOS and Android worldwide on April 28, 2016.[2] It features pinball-type levels and is free-to-play with optional purchases for in-game currency.

Gameplay

Instead of using a slingshot like in the original Angry Birds, the birds dash through an area in a top down perspective and ricochet like pinballs. Players have a limited number of birds to use for completing each level that requires collecting all of the eggs. The game uses an energy system that, after failing to complete a level a few times, either makes the player wait to continue playing or use in-game currency to continue playing.

The game uses QR codes shaped like an Angry Bird called "BirdCodes", that can be found on Angry Birds toys, on McDonald's Happy Meals, on Toys "R" Us displays and in other locations. The codes can add new content, 30 second mini-games or power-ups for use in the game.[3] A special BirdCode, which can be found at the end of The Angry Birds Movie, can be used for its special feature "Movie Magic".
