Angry Birds Match is a match-3 game in the Angry Birds series involving the Hatchlings and characters from Angry Birds Blues, where players match items to accomplish missions on behalf of the Hatchlings, which include gathering food, retrieving stolen toys, and defeating pigs.

History[]

This game was released soft launched on November 11, 2016 in select countries.

Nine months later after soft-launch release, Angry Birds Match came out in worldwide on August 31st, 2017 to promote a recently launched show, Angry Birds Blues.

Gameplay[]

The game is a variation of "match 3" games such as Nibblers, Bejeweled or Candy Crush Saga. Each level has a different shaped grid filled with various objects from the movie and sometimes obstacles (more known as blockers). The basic move of the game consists of swapping two object's positions to align sets of three of the same object, whereupon they disappear, causing objects above them to collapse into the space left behind, often resulting in chain reactions. Moves and alignments must be horizontal/vertical. The level's objectives must be met before the player runs out of moves.If you match 4 or more items, you bring out the Angry Birds characters, which perform a special task to help the player complete the level.

Characters[]

  • Red - Destroys one column or row when selected
  • Chuck - Spreads out in four directions, destroying a row/column in each direction when selected
  • Bomb - Destroys three columns or rows when selected
  • Bad Piggies
    • Minion Pig - Basic pig that moves one space every time you make a move. Can be popped by making two matches next to him, launching a bird at him, or by making him fall into water and drown.
    • Scuba Pig - Sits in a muddy tile. If you make a match next to him, he'll dive beneath the mud and pop up on a new muddy tile. Can only be popped with a bird.
    • Barrel Pig - A Minion Pig using a barrel as armor. Takes five matches to be popped, and can float in water without drowning.
    • Dynapig - A Minion Pig that sometimes throws a stick of dynamite after you make a move.  The dynamite destroys/damages whatever it hits.
    • Glue Pig - A Minion Pig that sometimes shoots a glob of glue after you make a move.  The glue turns a normal object into a glue block.
    • Diver Pig - Similar to a Scuba Pig, but sits in water tiles instead of muddy tiles.
    • Iron Barrel Pig - A Minion Pig using a metal barrel as armor. Takes five matches to be popped.  Can be popped with a bird, but instead of passing through him, birds disappear after colliding with him.
