This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? Notes: A lot of things still need to be documented.

Angry Birds H̶a̶t̶c̶h̶e̶r̶y Island is an unreleased iOS game based off the 2.0.0 update of Angry Birds (started development around late 2011). It was found on December 17, 2023 from the "TestFlight Crashland", an archival project of pre-2015 TestFlight by Archiveteam.

The game seems to be based on similar iOS games that focused on city-building. Notably, players could hatch and customize their own birds using in-game currency that could be used in actual levels.

The game later on got rebranded, stripped from the Angry Birds gameplay and released as The Croods.
