Angry Birds Pop! is the second game of the Angry Birds Stella series. The game released on December 22, 2014, in the Canada App Store and released worldwide on March 12, 2015. On October 29, 2015, the game was added to Facebook. The game features the slingshot lined up in the bottom center, the player flings the bubbles to pop the bubbles at the top with a combination of three or more bubbles with the same color. Each level will grant a limited number of bubbles given at the slingshot and more can be purchased with coins. Sometimes, there are also blocks appears at the top along with the bubbles. The game also has lives like all other match-3 games. When the player loses a level, they will lose one of it and if they lost all the lives, they must buy them by coins to continue playing. The game initially featured only the six characters that appeared in Angry Birds Stella, with each character having a special power that can be used when the Pop Meter is full to unlock powerful boosts from their powers like Stella's Power Pop, Poppy's Line Pop and many more. To fill the Pop Meter, the player has to get x6 Streaks, that means 6 pops in a row.

Reception

Angry Birds Pop! was seen by some as similar to King's 2014 title, Bubble Witch 2 Saga . The Macworld reviewer enjoyed it as a free game, with its light puzzle gameplay and good production values but once a barrier in play presents itself, the reviewer thought it was best to do something else. ^[5]
