Summary
We sat down with Stan (CEO of Oh BiBi, creator of Asphalt) and Luis (VP Global Marketing at Rovio) to break down Angry Birds Rush. We discuss how the game was born, why they built 6 prototypes, how they benchmarked against slot machines, how they secretly tested fans on Discord, and why they’re aiming for a billion-dollar game. A bold attempt to merge:
• Luck Battle meta (Monopoly Go / Coin Master)
• Runner-style core gameplay
• Slingshot physics nostalgia
• The biggest family IP in mobile
And what you’re seeing publicly right now? It’s only a prototype.
This is one of the most transparent product breakdowns we’ve ever recorded.
