Revisional Differences

This is a sub-page of Angry Birds (iOS).

To do: Find and check every version. There is unused or early content that were removed in the transition between different versions. Should the retina graphics be documented here too? (Maybe make a section for Angry Birds HD that documents the retina graphics?) There's more stuff that needs to be documented here: The level end screens being updated to the Rio ones. The OnomatoShark font in older versions being replaced with the AngryBirds font. Revised button graphics. Power-Up icon changes. And additionally, Super Seeds being changed into Power Potion.

Title Theme#

In version 3.3.0, the game's main theme was replaced with Angry Birds Trilogy's main theme to celebrate the release of the episode "Red's Mighty Feathers". Version 4.0.0 would later revert the main theme back to the original track.

Sprites#

The Birds#

Just like the cutscenes, the birds got a sprite change in the same update to appear similarly to how they look in Rio. Some sprites still remain the same.

• All of the birds' post-collision and some ability sprites got changed.
• Red and the Blues' post-collision sprite was the only sprite changed about them.
• Chuck's squawking idle and post-collision were changed to the Chrome ones.
• All of Matilda's sprites were changed to her Chrome sprites, in which gives her an angry expression.
• Hal's sprites were also changed to his Chrome design.
• Terence remains the same.

Poached Eggs Theme 1-3 Backgrounds#

The first three themes for Poached Eggs were given a revision that modified colors a bit and added foreground sprites.

• Taller grass, ferns, cacti and rocks were added in Theme 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

Sounds#

Bomb's Sounds#

Bomb's unused select sound from the In-game Trailer is found nowhere in any version of the game, not even v1.0. For whatever reason, it was found in the files of Angry Birds Arcade.

Similar to his select sound, Bomb's flying sound from the In-Game Trailer was also not present in the game until it was later added back in to Version 7.1.0 and onward, completely replacing the sound that existed since Version 1.0.

Hal's Sounds#

Hal's sound effects when he's in-game weren't changed until much later into the game's life.

Egg Defender Alert Sound#

The sound file "alarm_egg_stolen_01", which plays when a pig manages to take the egg in the Egg Defender levels, was changed to an abrupt musical sting. Originally, the sound was one of Ross' laughing sounds from Bad Piggies.

Levels#

To do: There are more levels that still need to be documented in this section. Provide better screenshots of the levels, if possible.

Poached Eggs 1-5#

1.0 - 1.5.3	1.6.0

Level 1-5 of Poached Eggs was slightly altered to have two wood beams replaced with glass beams. This change was made to presumably made to make three-starring the level easier to accomplish.

Poached Eggs 2-21#

1.0	1.1.0 - Current

Level 2-21 of Poached Eggs was changed to replace the wooden ball with a small square wooden block. It is unknown why the change was even made.

Misc.#

App Icon#

Throughout the game's history, the app icon went through many revamps and revisions. This sections documents the icons from both the original iPhone version and the HD versions for iPad.

To do: There's still more to add here.

iPhone#

1.0 - 1.2.1	1.3.0 - 1.3.1	1.3.2 - 3.0.0	3.1.0 - 3.1.2	3.2.0 - 4.2.0	4.3.1 - 4.3.2	4.3.5 - 6.0.1

• The original icon featured an irate Red gritting his teeth, a blue background with darker-blue rays emanating from behind him, and white clouds at the bottom.
• Versions 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 slightly altered the icon to add a banner for the short-lived Crystal SDK in the bottom left corner. This change was reverted in version 1.3.2.
• Version 3.1.0 added a Rovio logo banner near the top right corner and made Red slightly bigger.
• Version 3.2.0 changed Red to his modern design and made his expression slightly less angry, along with removing the clouds at the bottom and reducing the contrast on the background rays.
• In version 4.3.1, as part of a partnership between Apple and (RED) to bring awareness to and help fight AIDS, the icon was updated to use Red's face on a dark red background, with the (RED) logo in the top right. After version 4.3.2, the icon was reverted to the previous version.

Splash Screens#

Much like the app icon, the splash screen would also go through many updates throughout the game's history.

1.0 - 1.3.4	1.4.0 - 1.5.0	1.5.1 - 1.6.3	2.0.0 - 6.0.1
6.0.6	6.1.0 - 7.4.0	7.5.0 - 8.0.3

• The original splash screen, which was present until Version 1.3.4, is one of the more distinct ones, featuring a unknown grey bird (presumably intended to be Bomb) and a much different design for Red. King Pig is also present, making this the only time he's ever appeared in the game's splash screen.

• In Version 1.4.0, the splash screen would undergo a major overhaul that goes for a more realistic approach. The art depicts Red bursting through a stone castle, causing pigs and debris to go flying everywhere. Bomb, Matilda, one of the Blues and Chuck are also present here.

• The splash screen introduced in Version 1.5.1 made a few changes to Version 1.4.0's, primarily updating the stone castles to structures akin to the ones seen in-game as well as the designs for the pigs. The game's logo is also updated to the 2011-2015 version.

• Version 2.0.0 would get another complete overhaul, which completely drops the realistic approach for an art style more in line with the actual game. This one depicts Red, Chuck and Bomb destroying the Pig's structure in a canyon-like setting. The Eggs also make their first appearance in the splash screen.

• In Version 6.0.6, to celebrate the release of The Angry Birds Movie in 2016, the splash screen got yet another overhaul, this time by updating the birds and pigs to use their designs seen in the movie.

• Version 6.1.0 would later make some adjustments to Version 6.0.6's splash screen, such as updating the game's logo to the modern one, rearranging the positions of the characters and background debris, and adding the movie's version of the Mighty Eagle to the background.

• Version 7.5.0 and onwards reverted the splash screen back to Version 2.0.0's, with the only notable difference being the updated modern logo introduced in Version 6.1.0's splash screen.

Main Menu Logo#

1.0 - 1.4.2	1.5.0 - 1.6.3
2.0.0 - 6.0.6	6.1.0 - Current

• The original logo that was on the main menu on 1.0 up to 1.4.2 had the Feast of Flesh font, white text with a yellow outline, and four blue feathers on both sides of the logo.

• The logo would be changed on 1.5.0 to the updated one made by John Roshell. The logo had a slightly transparent outline with a faint indigo shadow around the letters.

• 2.0.0 dropped that and just stuck with the basic black outline and white text.

• 6.1.0 uses the simplistic logo that was introduced in Angry Birds 2.

Cutscenes#

The cutscenes were changed around the same time Birdday Party was added. The original cutscenes featured a painted/realistic look for the cutscenes, excluding the birds and pigs. The intro cutscenes also infamously uses a beta design for Chuck, suggesting the Poached Eggs intro cutscene was made while the birds' designs were being finalized. Curiously every intro cutscene featured this beta design (except for The Big Setup) even after Chuck's design was finalized. The current cutscenes changed how they look entirely making it fit with the art style of the birds and pigs. The current cutscenes also use the Chrome designs for both the birds and pigs, even using Chuck's final design.
