Angry Birds Stella

This game/console's online features are no longer supported. While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

To do: There's a lot more. See here for a start, and check the screenshot galleries for Stella's Flock on that same website (there's at least a few prototype sprites for Willow that aren't documented yet).

It's Angry Birds with different (but still angry) birds, unique gameplay elements and a continuous story. Sadly, it was discontinued just a year after its release in favor of yet another match-3 game.

A third chapter was planned, but because the game's development stopped before it was finished, there is a lot of unused content related to it.

Unused Costumes#

Spring Day Poppy#

A telepod was supposed to be available in December 2014 to unlock an additional costume for Poppy, but it was never released. While the costume art is finished, the related photograph is unfinished.

Luca#

Two additional costumes for Luca. It's unknown how these would have been seen in the game.

Ghost Pig#

Assets for a ghost pig. It's not known what this pig does.

Snail Pig#

A hat with snail eyes exists for another unused pig type.

Other Unused Graphics#

Critters were intended to appear during gameplay, but development stopped before this could be done.

Unfinished panels for a chapter 2 cutscene, where some pigs capture clams and Stella drops in on them.

An unused app icon.

Debugging Functions#

There are debugging functions in the game, it's probably similar to other Angry Birds games built with LUA, unfortunately there are no functions requiring multiple corner clicks though...

Everywhere: An FPS + Memory display is present.

Menus: A back button is always displayed, touching it appears to crash the game (?).

Cutscenes: Block load values are shown, also possible to skip all cutscenes at any time.

Developer Cheats#

Developer cheats are in the game, but unfortunately most of the files are missing... Functions are 3-star (One) and 3-star all levels for now.

Developer Economy Configs#

In the data/config directory, there's many configs for economy presets, one makes the hammer recharge fast or slow and others change coin probabilities.

Internal Project Name#

The game is internally referred to as Purple, when relating to the executable name.

Revision Differences#

Title screen#

To do: Find a screenshot of the old title screen. Versions before 1.1.4 don't work anymore as they require a connection to the game's online services.

The title screen showed Stella's house and the game's logo. It was replaced with a map in version 1.1, but the background of the old title screen can still be seen on the level select screen for the first chapter.
