A Trip Down Memory Card LaneAn Episode for the Birds: Rovio and the Angry Birds PhenomenonIn 2009, Rovio released Angry Birds, a slingshot sensation that redefined mobile gaming. In this episode, we trace Rovio’s origins from a Finnish demoscene competition to the founding of Relude, later renamed Rovio Mobile. We discuss the studio’s years of quiet struggle across 51 previous titles before one designer’s doodle of round, wingless birds sparked the idea that would change everything. Our conversation explores how swine flu inspired the green pigs, how physics-based gameplay and touch controls brought instant appeal, and how Apple’s App Store propelled it to global fame. We also examine the birth of a billion...

CEO Sales Huddle with Che BrownHow Rovio's Angry Birds Revolutionized Business | CEO Sales Huddle with Che BrownRovio, a small Finnish gaming studio in 2009, was almost bankrupt. With 51 failed games, they were on the verge of giving up. They had the skills but struggled with distribution. So, what was the problem? They couldn't make a game that truly captured the market.
The iPhone's launch in 2007 gave Rovio hope. They aimed for a game that would resonate with the iPhone's massive customer base. They carefully considered the iPhone landscape. They had specific conditions for a game to succeed. The game had to be tutorial-free, quick to load, and playable for just one minute – perfect for sh...
