Angry Birds 2 suits people who want a short, casual puzzle game they can pick up for a minute or play for an hour. It is a free slingshot game from Rovio Entertainment Oy, rated Everyone, and it runs on Android 7.1 or newer. Google Play lists over 100 million installs and a 4.1 rating from 6.3 million ratings.
Quick sessions for a slingshot habit
The core idea is simple: pick a bird, fling it, and knock down the pigs. Each level can have several stages, and boss pigs appear along the way, so a single stage can take more thought than the first shot suggests.
Daily challenges are built for short visits. Finish one and you collect quick rewards, which keeps a two-minute session worthwhile. Hundreds of levels are in the game, and regular updates and limited-time events add more.
Clans, arena and the Mighty Eagle's Bootcamp
Several modes move the game beyond solo levels. You can join a clan to take on the pigs with friends and players elsewhere, or enter the arena and compete head to head. Global leaderboards rank you against friends and strangers.
Progress comes from levelling up characters with feathers, which raises their scoring power. Hats with different themes can be collected and tie into special events. In Mighty Eagle's Bootcamp you take on special challenges and earn coins to spend in the eagle's own shop.
What to check before installing
The game is free, but it contains ads and optional in-app purchases. Rovio also says the game may show promotions for its own products and third-party ones, and it includes links to social networks and to the wider internet.
