Angry Birds Rio: A Tropical Twist on a Classic Formula
Angry Birds Rio is a 2011 puzzle video game developed by Rovio Mobile. The game was released as a marketing tie-in with the 20th Century Fox animated film Rio, and was promoted along with the movie. While utilizing the same basic gameplay as the original Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Rio added a number of new elements, most notably the first use of boss levels. The game was a critical and commercial success, and is consistently one of the top downloaded applications on both the App Store and the Android Market.
Gameplay
Angry Birds Rio’s gameplay is very similar to that of the original Angry Birds game. Players use a slingshot to launch birds at structures built by pigs, with the goal of destroying all of the pigs on the screen. However, Angry Birds Rio adds a number of new elements to the gameplay, including:
- New birds: Angry Birds Rio introduces four new birds to the Angry Birds roster: Blu, Jewel, Pedro, and Nico. Each bird has its own unique abilities, such as Blu’s ability to speed up in mid-air, Jewel’s ability to shoot three eggs at once, and Pedro’s ability to explode on impact.
- Boss levels: Angry Birds Rio is the first Angry Birds game to feature boss levels. Boss levels are larger and more complex than regular levels, and they require players to use all of their skills to defeat the boss pig.
- Power-ups: Angry Birds Rio introduces a number of new power-ups that can be used to help players complete levels. These power-ups include the Mighty Eagle, which can destroy all of the pigs on the screen, and the Samba Burst, which can clear a path through obstacles.
