Status: Partially Lost

Angry Birds is an action-puzzle gaming franchise developed for mobile phones and PC by Rovio Entertainment. Its games have accumulated over 3 billion downloads in total across various platforms.

Throughout the first half of the 2010s beginning with the release of Angry Birds Chrome, Rovio developed a plethora of Angry Birds games targeted at browsers. Typically, these were created in collaboration with companies or organizations and distributed through Facebook as part of promotional campaigns; thus, they were often temporary and disappeared after a certain amount of time. By the end of 2015, Angry Birds Chrome and all other Angry Birds webgames at the time were discontinued (with the exception of Angry Birds Friends).

Despite the closure of Angry Birds Chrome, the game saw continued use by the AIBIRDS coding competition in the form of a cache archive made available to participants by Rovio.[1] On September 23rd, 2019, the cache was uploaded to the Internet Archive by Riga2ru.[2] Only the first set of levels were playable, with the rest being locked behind a broken login prompt. On April 20th, 2020, a curation for the archival project BlueMaxima's Flashpoint was released through efforts by Wumbo and Computerdude77, restoring the game to its non-cached state and removing the login prompts.[3]

During March 2021, the files for various other Angry Birds webgames were discovered throughout several subdomains of appspot.com, the hosting provider for web applications deployed through the Google App Engine, by members of Flashpoint and the Angry Birds Modding Discord.

No (Later Build)

Rovio's first attempt at an Angry Birds level editor that ended up being cancelled. Wayback Machine captures of the homepage date as far back as March 2011, implying that it may predate Angry Birds Flash. An earlier build was found however it has a small canvas. You have to stretch the canvas in order to build levels.
Bad Piggies Build Found Partial Rovio's second attempt at an Angry Birds level editor that was once again cancelled. An older build can be accessed here. The quest and sandbox function is broken on the newer build, and the shop function is broken on both builds. The embed of the game was fixed recently to use the levels in the database.
Angry Birds Friends (Flash Version) Partially Lost[4][5] No The original version of the game, as newer versions are built with Unity. Many of its core assets were scraped by AngryBirdsBiggestFan before its closure in January 2020. Recently a 2012 scrape of the game was found on a appspot domain and is currently being looked at to hack through, and the embed of Bad Piggies Build was hacked to load levels from Angry Birds Friends
