Angry Birds maker Rovio long boasted about its ambitions to become the next Disney, and now that goal has kinda-sorta come to fruition: The Angry Birds Movie is playing on thousands of screens around the globe. Whether or not it’s any good is another matter altogether—early critical reviews.It’s a feeling we know well from the more recent entries in the Angry Birds game franchise, which currently spans 16 titles (with a 17th, a soccer game, out soon) and has deviated in surprising and sometimes underwhelming ways.

Rows of bubbles can’t protect those pesky pigs—not when you can use a slingshot to happily pop away. Stella’s second Angry Birds spinoff channels the match-three spirit of arcade classic Bust-a-Move, and the result is unique, gorgeous, and enormously fun.

Still, the series has its serious highlights, so we’re taking the opportunity to rank every game from worst to best. Disagree with our clearly scientific findings? Let us know in the comments. Rovio has taken the franchise in a lot of different directions of late (as you’ll see over the next 15 slides), but the developer’s clumsiest misfire is surely (free).

It’s essentially the franchise’s take on the formula, only sped up: Matches last about 45 seconds and you have to constantly link up like icons to power up your fighter.Strategy is minimally important; in fact, the game constantly suggests matches, making it tough to consider your own pairings. However, the biggest issue is that the resulting combat that follows the puzzle sequence is totally automatic and unclear, and you’ll often get matched up against higher-level players who will just dominate you. Add in multiple energy meters and hugely expensive gems.

Colorful, cartoonish console game franchises often end up making a kart racer, and Rovio did quite the same on mobile with (free). And honestly, there’s a fair bit to like here: It’s a very pretty game, the driving mechanics are solid, and it offers a decent amount of event variety. Problem is, the game is absolutely doused.Kart upgrades and higher-level rides are needed to make much progress, but you’ll have to grind and grind to get anywhere—or pay out huge bounties for bundles of in-game currency. The idea of paying upwards of $30 in gems for a high-level kart is mind-numbing, and all the ads and the sponsored power-ups wear thin pretty quickly.

It can really rub you the wrong way. You’ll find some pretty epic role-playing games on the App Store, including and many classic and entries—but (free) doesn’t quite fit the title.

True, it takes the shape of a fantasy role-playing quest, transforming the birds into warriors and mages and tossing them into turn-based battles against cloak and armor-clad pigs.But that’s all there is to it: Battle after battle, with plenty of repetition along the way. Angry Birds Epic doesn’t have any sense of exploration or much of a storyline, and besides, are these characters really strong enough to support much narrative anyway? It’s a baffling turn for the series: Attractive and competent, but pretty uninteresting otherwise. And the freemium elements can be a serious detriment to continued play. (free) is the series’ latest attempt to spin the pull-and-fling formula into a new kind of experience, but, it doesn’t really satisfy.

As the title teases, Action is more interested in brute force pummeling than strategic puzzle-solving, as you launch the birds into pinball table-esque areas and watch them bounce around and smash everything in sight.It does offer a bit of variety: You’ll sometimes collect stolen eggs or guide baby birds back to their nest, while other stages see you smashing into TNT boxes or knocking around oversized soccer balls (for some reason). Still, it’s a lot of randomized chaos, and we never felt a strong pull to keep coming back to it. At least the freemium model isn’t as harsh as it initially seems. As we’ll explain later on in this piece, the original Angry Birds Star Wars is one of the best entries in the entire series. (free), on the other hand, is not. Surprisingly, it’s not because the second game spotlights the reviled prequel films, although the game has fewer truly iconic sights included. Instead, this just isn’t a great take on the Angry Birds formula.With more than 30 available characters to unlock and/or purchase, the stages are designed to be defeated by any of them—which means there’s often little precision needed, and you’ll see a lot more obvious solutions.

It’s just not very satisfying. Add in loads of ads and in-app purchase opportunities and this prequel-based sequel just can’t live up to the first game’s legacy. As genre tributes go, (formerly Angry Birds Stella Pop!) is perhaps the most brazen of the bunch: Every bit of the interface and game design is cribbed from, which itself was already a clone of the classic Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble games. The, but at least Rovio’s game adds a ton more visual polish.And the game itself?

Angry Birds Slingshot Stella S

It’s solid, but doesn’t really improve upon the familiar design. You’ll shoot colorful balls onto the screen to try and match three or more of a kind and clear them from view, and varying objectives keep things interesting enough. The freemium design ultimately proves frustrating and can slow your progress, but it’s a slick diversion up ‘til that point. Starring the titular pink heroine, (free) has been described by some as a spinoff and others as a return to the core style of series play (prior to Angry Birds 2’s release, of course)—but ultimately, in the grand scheme of things, it tends to just feel like more Angry Birds.

And when it released in 2014, that caused some well-earned franchise fatigue.If you missed it back then, Stella has its moments still: The new abilities tweak the familiar approach to some extent, letting you, say, ricochet Stella from building to building. And the colorful aesthetic has something of a storybook appeal to it. The freemium elements can frustrate, however, and Stella hasn’t added as much post-release content as other entries. (free), as the title suggests, is the social spinoff of the series: Rather than play solely to gain all the stars, you’ll compare your scores against those of your Facebook friends, and compete in weekly leaderboard competitions.

Also, instead of a huge vault of levels to take on, Friends offers up a brand new set each and every week.It’s nice to have another small stack of levels to play each week, making it appointment gaming for serious fans, and these levels tend to be the larger, zanier ones. Still, there’s one big problem with a freemium game like this: The ability to buy power-ups to aid your architectural assaults takes the sting out of the competitive premise. Unlike the Star Wars tie-ins, (free) doesn’t even look or play like a classic Angry Birds game: Rather than fling fowl at buildings, your robot bird runs along a 2D path as you blast pigs and towers in the distance. It’s a strange little collaboration and easy to dismiss, but surprisingly, it’s actually pretty fun.There’s an entertaining rhythm to tapping targets on the enemies, not to mention transforming into a vehicle to zip past falling hazards, and the cartoonish Transformers tribute is spot-on. The only big downside here are the upgrade timers that can keep you bogged down unless you spend gems—sold in bundles up to $100, naturally—but that’s the price of freemium. After a lot of middling spinoffs, it was a relief to see (free) hit the App Store in 2015.

Who would’ve thought it would take Rovio nearly six years to release a proper sequel to the smashing original? Whatever the case, this free-to-play follow-up returns to the core formula of old, as you launch birds to crush pig-housing buildings, but it also.Now you can use your birds in whichever order you’d like, plus you’ll typically complete three or four different areas in each level—which expands the size of the game, but also is punishing if you lose on the last part. And the newly-randomized level layouts take away the obsessive fun of reading a stage and learning from your mistakes. There’s a ton to play here and it all looks great, but the tweaks and freemium elements aren’t all improvements. Remember Rio, the colorful animated film about tropical birds?

Kids might, but adults probably have a better memory of (free) the attractive tie-in game. As the third-ever Angry Birds game, it was a pretty big deal back in 2011—and while the movie license made it seem less essential, it’s actually even for those who don’t care about Rio.Essentially, Angry Birds Rio uses the occasion to switch up the terrain, tossing you into lush jungles and warehouses full of animal cages to crash through, and has you knock away marmosets instead of pigs. Rio also introduced boss battles and new playable birds, while bringing in a fresher art style to the series. And the 2014 release of Rio 2 added much more content into the game, too. ($1) was the first real spinoff from the Angry Birds formula, and it’s still the best by a wide margin. It’s all a role reversal: Instead of controlling the birds, you take command of the supposedly stupid pigs, building intelligent contraptions to guide them to a goal. Even more so than the source series, Bad Piggies is a puzzle experience, and it requires a lot of trial and error tinkering to get right.You’ll construct karts, helicopters, and other makeshift vehicles using crates, propellers, balloons, and various tools, and the grid-like building structure makes it simple to build—yet producing a proper ride to tackle the tougher stages isn’t easy.

It makes you wish the series opted for more of these brainier entries, rather than brasher, forgettable fare. Originally launched as Angry Birds Halloween, Rovio’s holiday spinoff gained surprising traction as (free) and has continued on for years now, with a couple dozen level sets providing hundreds upon hundreds of playable stages. And while the original focus on holidays and seasons remains mostly intact, the game has taken amusing deviations as well—like the NBA-themed update.At least early on, Seasons was noteworthy for being than the original Angry Birds experience, with deviously difficult levels that you’d play dozens and dozens of times to solve. Well, at least we did. It might not be as iconic as the first game, but Seasons is arguably just as strong an overall experience.

However, the switch to a freemium model has frustratingly locked off a lot of the content behind paywalls. What could have been a quick-and-dirty nostalgia cash-in is actually pretty awesome: ($1) does a great job of honoring the source material and delighting fans while also serving as one of the best showcases for the game series. You’ll relive scenes from the original film trilogy as game levels, all while playing levels as birds dressed up like Luke, Han, and Leia, and even sporting lightsabers and blasters.Angry Birds Star Wars smartly splits the balance of its levels between the traditional ground levels of the core games and the gravity-twisting stages of Angry Birds Space, providing a sharp all-in-one series experience.

And if you don’t care about Star Wars (what?!), the game itself is still plenty enjoyable. Catch us on another day and we might have this in the #1 slot instead: The original ($1) is an absolutely iconic game, and it has grown significantly over the years to now feature more than 500 playable levels. Angry Birds wasn’t the first catapult game on the market, but it took that basic premise and turned it into for all ages.It’s arguably still the ideal starting point for the franchise, as you can see the experience progress from the relatively simple early stages to the more expansive challenges and level designs of the later sets. Angry Birds has been updated and enhanced over time, and sadly augmented with in-app purchases too, but the appeal remains. It’s a true classic.
