Gameplay
Angry Birds Island is a match-three game with gameplay similar to the original Angry Birds Blast released in December 2016. There are varying puzzle levels that the player has to play through in order to continue fixing up existing objects on or adding new objects to a large 3-D HUB-like game world in which the player unlocks more and more of the areas that were previously restricted or closed off. The way the player does this is by playing through levels in order to obtain stars to complete various tasks. To obtain stars, the player must complete the level and achieve a high enough score to earn them whether it be 1, 2, or 3 stars depending on the objective(s), the level, the amount of taps, or moves, the player has left, and the player's score.
The game, as of soft launch, has 345 total levels with more levels more than likely being added on during development and in the future for events and holidays but the game was cancelled in Summer 2019.
