Angry Birds Seasons (which used to be called Angry Birds Halloween) is a fun puzzle video game from the famous Angry Birds series. It was made by Rovio Entertainment. This game first came out in October 2010 for Apple's iOS devices. Later, it became available on many other platforms. The game is special because it gets new levels and themes based on different holidays and seasons throughout the year. New updates stopped in 2016, and the game was removed from app stores in 2019.

How to Play Angry Birds Seasons

In Angry Birds Seasons, you use a slingshot to launch different birds. Your goal is to hit structures where green pigs are hiding. You win by defeating all the pigs in a level.

Defeating the Pigs

• You can hit pigs directly with a bird.
• You can also make structures fall on them.
• Small pigs are easy to defeat.
• Bigger pigs can take more hits.

Seasonal Levels

Each group of levels in the game has a different "season" or theme. These themes are often based on holidays or special events. This means the game changes its look and sometimes even its rules for each new season.
