Almost half (46%) of Rovio $190 million in 2014 revenues came from non-game sources like merchandise, brand licensing, clothes and ad revenue from its cartoon series on YouTube.
Mad Birds 2 is a free download available from the Google Play or Apple Store.
One of the first things you’ll pick up on in raging Birds 2 are the cards. Whether you fail a level or just manually reset it, that consumes a life. Some games out there make you wait for hours before you can make any progress.
Now, you can watch a commercial when you’re out of lives and that gives you a free restart.
The new entry has fans excited but has been met with a bit of criticism from others, since it requires in-app purchases to revive a character.
On its own, this setup isn’t horribly disruptive. The developers maintain that you can complete the entire game without spending a single penny though, so don’t worry too much. The sequel promises to deliver a “new era of addictive slingshot gameplay with stunning graphics, challenging multi-stage levels, scheming boss pigs and even more destruction”. Frequent boss fights liven up the action, and the aforementioned spells offer a tempting way out if you’re really stuck on a level. Unless you put a high value on your time – then it can get very expensive.
There are ways to ease the suffering in these tougher multi-room levels.

Mad Birds 2 features a nest-full of all new feathered creations with a battery of all-new missiles, beaks and spells ready to be fired at a world of tottering towers populated by precarious pics.
However, mad Birds hasn’t been as successful on Android.
