Angry Birds
Pig-smashing app
Angry Birds is a mobile video game franchise launched in 2009, where players launch cartoon birds from a slingshot to destroy structures sheltering green pigs.
The game's simple physics-based gameplay made it one of the first massively popular smartphone games.
The franchise expanded into movies, merchandise, and spinoffs.
I've been playing Angry Birds on the train.
