Angry Birds GO - Everything you need to know

August 23, 2025

Despite the near constant action, Angry Birds GO is a very simple game. It’s a racing game where you drive or fly around a track. Obviously the point is to get first place. Like most racing games these days, the longer you race, the more vehicles you unlock and the more upgrades you may apply to those vehicles.

Each level is a single track that you race a variety of events on. Included is fruit smasher, 1-on-1 versus with an AI opponent, the standard race, a time trial style race, and a boss race that you must win 3 times. You then unlock a new bird to race with and move on to a new track to repeat the process.

The game mechanics are very simple. There are two types of controls. One is tilt to steer and the other is on-screen controls. There is a power-up button that lets you use that racer’s ability. Each racer’s ability is different. The first time is free, each subsequent time costs you one blue gem.

In terms of racing, you can’t just fly through the game like with prior Angry Birds titles. Each bird can only race a certain number of races before it has to rest for a bit. The more you unlock, the longer you can go but you will have to wait for that to fill up every now and then.
